Zimbabwe meets Pakistan on Tuesday in the first match of their 2013 ODI Series. The match starts at 3:30 a.m. ET (09:30 local, 07:30 GMT). Watch the live stream HERE or HERE.
Pakistan took both T20 games last week, winning the first by 25 runs and the second by 19 runs. As the ODI series begins on Monday, Pakistan has replaced Sohail Tanvir, Zulfiqar Babar and Sohaib Maqsood with skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, Abdur Rehman and Asad Shafiq, according to ESPN.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will be without fast bowler Kyle Jarvis, who announced last week his retirement from international cricket. Jarvis cited money and job security as his chief reasons for retiring.
"... (My) decision was made about a week ago when the pay disputes arose (with Zimbabwe) and I felt my time to leave had come," Jarvis said, via ESPN. "I have retired from international cricket to pursue a county and global T20 career.
"... I really hope the fans and public can understand my reasons for leaving, as job security is the main factor."
With the loss of Jarvis and the recent T20 sweep, Zimbabwe skipper Brendan Taylor will need to rally his squad. Batting has been a weakness for the team, something they'll need to improve to stand a chance of beating Pakistan.
History is on Pakistan's side. Pakistan has won 12 of the 15 ODIs played in Zimbabwe against the Zimbabwe team.
