Pakistan chose to bat first and restricted the Zimbabwe side to 118/9, with Tinashe Kamunhukamwe taking the most runs by securing 34 off 40 balls as Zimbabwe’s top-scorer. Pakistani bowlers Mohammad Hasnain and Danish Aziz picked up two wickets each, with all other wickets being picked up by five other bowlers.

Luke Jongwe on the Zimbabwe’s end bowled remarkably taking four stellar wickets, including captain Babar Azam’s wicket, helping the hosts solidify their first-time T20I victory against Pakistan. Jongwe went on to win ‘Man of the Match’ for the game, leveling the series to 1-1.

With regards to the loss, Azam said, “We played poor cricket in the batting department. Credit to Zimbabwe for playing good cricket. The surface was stopping a bit and was two-paced. But it’s no excuse, we’re professionals and need to deal with it. Hopefully we will come back strong in the next game.”

The T20I final is set to take place on Sunday, April 25.
