So, that is it from today. Pakistan and Zimbabwe still have one T20I left to play but that would be of academic interest for the hosts. But given the pandemic and the cricket starvation that we have all gone through, any form of the game is to be cherished. The cricket continues and hop tabs to find out who will face MI in the IPL 2020 finale!
18:27 Local Time, 13:27 GMT, 18:57 IST: Pakistan have rolled over the visitors here. They have annihilated them. The target was never fussy for them. Zimbabwe stuttured their way to 134 and Pakistan managed to overhaul it in the 16th over. Azam and Haider Ali got fifties to help Pakistan achieve it. Pakistan had recorded an easy win yesterday. And it has been an encore today. If not an easier one. And during the chase, we did see Haider Ali at times matching Azam stroke for stroke. That augurs well for the future of Pakistan cricket.
Ngarava to Khushdil, FOUR, and Pakistan win to take an unassailable lead! They take a 2-0 lead. That was short, Khushdil got behind the short ball and pulled it to win it for Pakistan
