Zimbabwe 67 all out

Pakistan 69 - for 1

Result Pakistan won by 9 wickets

In a match that only lasted 35 overs in total - a disastrous batting display by Zimbabwe and some great bowling by the Pakistan bowlers Faheem Ashraf 5-22 and Junaid Khan 2-7, resulted in Zimbabwe being bowled out for a meagre 67.

In reply, Pakistan knocked off the required runs, after losing Imam ul-Haq first ball of the innings, with Fakhar Zaman 44* and Babar Azam 19*.

Pakistan take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five match series and with it a series win.
