Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan won the second match against Zimbabwe by 10 wickets. Before this, Pakistan had won the ODI match by ten wickets 13 years ago i.e. in 2011. Since then such a big victory was not being achieved, but now this victory has been achieved under the captaincy of Rizwan. The interesting thing is that if we include this win, then till now the Pakistani team has won only five ODI matches by 10 wickets.

Pakistan got its first ODI win by ten wickets in the year 1986, when the team defeated New Zealand in Sharjah. After this he had to wait for a long time. In the year 2008, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 10 wickets in its home venue Karachi. After this, the team achieved this feat twice in the year 2011.

First the team defeated West Indies by 10 wickets in Mirpur and then defeated Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in Harare. After the year 2011, now in the year 2024, Pakistan has won by 10 wickets in the ODI match, in such a situation this victory becomes even more special.
