Fighting Zim lose series

Pakistan 165 for 3 (Rizwan 91*, Babar 52, Jongwe 3-37) beat Zimbabwe 141 for 7 (Madhevere 59, Marumani 35, Hasan 4-18, Rauf 2-34) by 24 runs

HASAN Ali and Mohammad Hasnain saved Pakistan the blushes and secured them a T20I series win over Zimbabwe, who have gone 24 bilateral rubbers without a T20I trophy now.

Zimbabwe had a chance of pulling off a surprise win and completing their third-highest-successful chase after Wesley Madhevere’s second career half-century took them to 78 for 1 at the halfway stage, well on track to reach the target of 166.
