very bad batting

The target of 206 runs was not big for Pakistan but the team's top order completely disintegrated. Pakistan could score only 60 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 21 overs, after which rain came and the match could not start. Because of this, using the DLS method, Zimbabwe was declared the winner by 80 runs. Captain Mohammad Rizwan's batting was the most disappointing. He could score only 19 runs in 43 balls and remained unbeaten. No other batsman could stay on the wicket. It seemed that the Pakistani batsmen were not understanding Zimbabwe's bowling. Blessing Muzarabani, Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza took 2 wickets each.

Zimbabwe had scored 205 runs

Batting first after losing the toss, Zimbabwe was all out for 205 runs in 40 overs. Richard Ngwara scored the highest score of 48 runs. Apart from this, Sikandar Raza scored 39, Marumani 29, Sean Williams scored 23 runs.

The hard work of the bowlers was ruined

Pakistani bowlers had bowled well in this match and had created a possibility of victory for the team by defeating Zimbabwe cheaply, but the hard work of the bowlers was spoiled by the batsmen and the seemingly easy victory was turned into a shameful defeat. For Pakistan, Salman Ali Aga and Faisal Akram took 3-3 wickets and Haris Rauf, Aamer Jamel and Muhammad Hasnain took 1-1 wicket. Sikandar Raza was the player of the match.
