Who will Win England vs Zimbabwe? Match Prediction – Zimbabwe tour of England 2025

The Only Test match of the upcoming Zimbabwe tour of England 2025 will be played from May 22 to 26, only if the match goes on till the fifth day, a rarity in today’s day and age. For the first time since 2003, these teams are playing each other in Test match cricket. In fact, the last time the two teams played each other was during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2007, won by India. 

Since then, due to political reasons, both teams didn’t play each other. Notably, the last time Chevrons played the Three Lions in the longest format, James Anderson made his debut in what was a two-match Test series. He has now retired from international cricket and is representing his county, Lancashire. Meanwhile, both teams are looking to normalise playing each other after a long time and this could be a start.
