The thing with this Zimbabwe batting lineup is when the Required RR is greater than 6 and you have a decent bowling lineup (which Pakistan does) you'd always fancy their chances against them. They are good at chasing anything at 4 or 5. That's why they are decent in ODIs.

One six isn't making any difference, RRR is > 10.5

Ya, but that's what I expected. I'll put money on Pakistan for the 2nd match too if the odd is anything higher than 1.15.

That would be very dumb. Bet in play when Pakistan do the usual **** up during the match and Zimbos then **** up themselves. There was a fortune to be made betting in play in this match.
Accepting 16 cents in the dollar on an unpredictable Pakistan is asking for trouble.

Especially in a t20 match away from home. Pakistan obvious favourites for next match, but knowing how volatile they are, I'd be astounded if you don't get much juicier prices live.

They were 3/30 and at one point during Zimbos' chase went out to $2.80 in this last match. How is that not unpredictable?
Well, I guess they are predictably going to get themselves in trouble because they are Pakistan. so I guess you're right - they are predictably ****.
If you made 10 bets of Pakistan vs. Zimbabwe at $1.15 you'd be in the red for sure.
Pakistan are the epitome of a team you back them when they are big underdogs and bet against them when they are massive favourites.

Nah I am talking about end results. Pakistan has played against Zimbabwe in 8 T20 matches and has won all 8. And this is a better Pakistan T20 team than those which won the previous 7. I personally think Pakistan is arguably the best T20 team in the world at the moment (including Anwar Ali). They are probably the most underrated as well (and the most overrated in ODI).
Regarding those ups-and-downs during the course of the game; they are part and parcel of the game - they happen sometimes. We shouldn't wait for those situations before betting - because they maynot come in every match.
If a Pakistan win against Zimbabwe pays 1.15 all the time, and one put money in all 8 games one would be in 120% profit by now.

Pakistan reincarnated. They have both Wasim and Imran now. Waqar is already there. He needs to join the team on the field.2002 déjà vu

Who overrates them in ODIs? Perhaps the ICC ODI ranking flatters them at number 8.
