Pakistan never allowed any breathing space for Zimbabwe through out the T20I series. They really played like a much superior team. The once number ranked 1 side in this format just aced every department. They gave chances to youngsters and even that clicked for them. And it was the complete opposite for Zimbabwe. They just had nothing going for them. Before we sign off, it was the last international game for Elton Chigumbura and he has had a wonderful career indeed. His yeoman service to the Zimbabwean team will always remain indelible. On that note, we bid you good bye! But hop tabs as the IPL final build up is something that you don't want to miss.

18:17 Local Time, 13:17 GMT, 18:47 IST: The same script again. A score which never threatened and Pakistan made minced meat out of it. They did it with a lot of panache garnished with some gutso and bravado. The young guns of Pakistan cricket just went with the flow and batted really positively to finish the game in a hurry. Zimbabwe never got going thanks to Qadir's four fer. That really put them behind the 8-ball. And as mentioned the chase never had any hiccups from the beginning.

Faraz to Khushdil, SIX, there you go! Pakistan win. As easy as that. Win by 8 wickets and plethora of balls to spare. Picks the length delivery off the pads and heaves it over deep mid for a sixer. Superb hit indeed to cap off the win

15.1

Faraz to Khushdil, no run, full toss and has been spanked back to the bowler

Faraz Akram [2.0-0-6-0] is back into the attack

Only a hit away now from a clean sweep. Pakistan have bossed the visitors in this format. The ODIs still had some kind of a contest. This has been such a one sided series.

Ryan Burl to Shafique, FOUR, fabulous shot! This was fraction short and Shafique is quick to pounce on that, he waits for the ball to arrive and back cuts it past point, no chance for the sweeper to catch up with that
