Pitch Report

It is a bat-first surface. The hard new ball will work well for the batters up front but the wicket will slow down and take some turn, especially in the second innings.

Commentary

This is Pakistan's first T20I series win since the last T20 World Cup. Given the thumping fashion in which they won the first two games, nothing less than a clean sweep will satisfy them now. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe have a lot of work to do over the next 45 hours or so. They would be hoping for an improved showing in the final match of the series, that will be played on Thursday, December 5th. Do join us then. For now, it is a goodbye from Darpan and Bidipto! See you soon.

Agha Salman (Pakistan captain): We are happy with out performance! It has been quite a match! We want to play positive cricket all the time, that's our style. We were impressive with the ball and young Sufiyan shone through. Attacking the stumps was key. The batting was even better, we did not make matters any bit difficult and finished it off professionally!

Sufiyan Muqeem is the Player of the Match for his incredible figures of 5/3 in only 2.4 overs!

Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe captain): We all are in a pretty bad place, but, what I've just told the boys in the dressing room is that we have got 36 hours to get going again. We cannot dwell on this for too long, we have another match to play and win. We just have to upskill ourselves, there are no shortcuts. We, as a batting unit, need to have both gears. The management and I have to be patient with this squad. But my only concern is if we are learning from these losses or not!

It is time for the post-match presentation.

Pakistan win by 10 wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Saim Ayub 36* (18) | Sufiyan Muqeem 5/3 (2.4)
Brain Bennett 21 (14)

18.1 overs — That is all it took for us to have a complete game today at the Queen Sports Club. At the toss, Sikandar Raza mentioned that his team had spent the last couple of days in planning, discussing and practicing how to play spin. We all thought that their efforts were boring fruit too when Bennett stepped out to Abrar in the first over of the match and slammed him for a boundary down the ground. But alas, it was false alarm. After an effervescent start up top, Zimbabwe collapsed and crumbled in spectacular fashion. They went from 37/0 in 4 overs to 57/10 in 12.4 overs.

It was Abbas Afridi who drew first blood, getting Marumani caught at cover point. Then, he delivered a heavy length ball that barely bounced and sneaked through Raza's defences to disturb the furniture behind. Thus, started a procession. Sufiyan Muqeem's left arm wrist spin, acted as a catalyst, further hastening the process. He kept it simple: bowled wicket to wicket, used his variations and Zimbabwe batters played all around it.

The writing was on the wall at the halfway stage and Saim Ayub and Omair Yousuf made sure that the visitors got home without any hiccups. Pakistan chased the target down within the powerplay and made it 2-0 in the series.

5.3 Blessing Muzarabani to Saim Ayub, FOUR RUNS TO END THE MATCH! Short and wide outside off-stump. Slapped through point off the back foot, all be it aerially, for a boundary! Pakistan romp home and take the series.

5.2 Blessing Muzarabani to Saim Ayub, short outside off-stump with pace taken off. A mistimed cut shot on the back foot to the man at point. No run.

Alright, good to go now. Pakistan need 1 run to win.

Oh dear! It seems as if Clive Madande has injured himself. He was stationed at squarish deep third and ran to his left to get to the ball. Eventually, he put a dive and seems to have landed awkwardly on his wrist.
