ZIM VS PAK - 3rd ODI, Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe, 2018

Another shocking performance with the bat resulted in Zimbabwe stooping to 67. Such was the dominance by Pakistan that it was all wrapped up before the lunch break. As Masakdaza said, they should show more application with the bat in the remaining two games. On that note, it's a goodbye from us here. Ta-ta!

Sarfraz Ahmed: It was a pleasing performance from the boys. Especially, Faheem and Junaid. Credit goes to my bowlers, they bowled really well. Faheem Ashraf is getting better day by day. We will try our level best in the next two games and two more opportunities for the guys to perform.

Hamilton Masakadza: It was a disaster. I just tell the guys to stay positive, focus on the next game. Need a little more application from the batsmen, too many errors and lot of work to be done. We have to come out firing next game and hopefully, put some runs for the bowlers to defend.

12:20 Local Time: Happy faces in the Pakistan dressing room, handshakes all over. Despite the early hiccup, Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam ensured that there was no more wobble in pursuit of a meagre 68. The Zimbabwean new ball bowlers - Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava - did show stomach for a fight, cranking it up. The duo of - Zaman and Azam - took their time, negated the threat and once they were settled, it was a mere stroll in the park. The target of 68 was never going to challenge Pakistan and the end result is they have secured the series and have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, and there it is! Zaman wraps it up with a boundary. Unleashes the short-arm jab to a full ball at the stumps and gets it wide of mid-on. Pakistan win by 9 wickets with 241 balls to spare

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, this is very lazy and clumsy from the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Zaman drags the pull in front of square on the leg-side, the fielder at deep mid-wicket runs across to his right and takes his eyes off the ball letting it through the legs to the fence

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, stand and dismiss stuff from Zaman. Dealing the short balls with ease as he swiveled across and pulled it with ferocity through square leg to bring the equation down to single digit

Ngarava to Babar Azam, 1 run, Azam chases and flashes it to third man

Ngarava to Babar Azam, no run, rifles wide of off and it stays low. Azam shifts his body weight down to reach, but it simply refuses to rise and trickles on the bounce to the keeper

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, no run, abandons violence does Zaman and quietly blocks it to mid-off

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, wide, poor again from Muzarabani, drifts this full ball down leg and the umpire spreads his arms

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, flowing boundaries from Zaman's willow. Muzarabani is spraying it all over the place. Shortened his length and kept it outside off, Zaman makes room and trashes it through cover-point

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, three fours in four balls and it will be Pakistan's fifty. Another tasty full delivery outside off, Zaman plunges forward and drills it past mid-off

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, no run, gets the line right, Zaman drives it to mid-off

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, Muzarabani goes round the wicket but Zaman hands him the same treatment. Peppered it short outside off, Zaman reached out and slapped it over point powerfully

Muzarabani to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, creamed through extra cover. Muzarabani serves it up full and in the slot for the Zaman to free his arms. Right off the screws and bashes it in the gap

Ngarava to Babar Azam, no run, short outside off, Azam with a rasping cut to point

Ngarava to Babar Azam, wide, half-hearted appeal for a strangle, but I guess that was merely to unsettle the umpire. Spearing down leg, Azam tried to tickle and failed

Ngarava to Babar Azam, no run, pushed it gently to mid-off

Ngarava to Babar Azam, no run, Ngarava tests the bounce on this surface by banging it short, Azam expected it to bounce more and winded up for the pull. There wasn't a steep bounce and hence, his shot found the fielder at mid-wicket
