International Cricket to Pakistan - 1st T20 to be played today




Pakistan fans will be happy to watch their team playing a T20 match at Lahore after some years. Zimbabwe management took the decision of touring Pakistan after a long time. It was very difficult to make the decision of touring Pakistan as no teams have come forward for a long time. Dubai was the hosting country for the Pakistan team playing with different teams like Australia, New Zealand and England. Now, they are back to play a tournament at their home with tight security. Today, they are going to play their first T20 match against the Zimbabwe team this evening. The only sad news about the tournament is that no ICC umpires will be present in the matches to be played. The previous T20 World Cup champion team will be lead by Shahid Afridi and E Chigumbura will lead the touring Zimbabwe side.
