Chasing a 164-run target, Zimbabwe’s batting unit unfolded on a meagre 108 in the 15.3 overs despite brisk knocks by skipper Sikandar Raza and opener Tadiwanashe Marumani.

In the second match, the Green Shirts bagged a dominating victory by 10 wickets on Tuesday.

Chasing a modest 58-run total, Pakistan knocked the winning runs inside the batting powerplay without losing a single wicket.

Left-handed opener Saim Ayub was the core aggressor of the match-winning stand, courtesy of his quickfire 36-run knock from 18 deliveries, studded with six fours and a six.
