Zimbabwe shocked Pakistan by 80 runs in the first ODI at Bulawayo's Queens Sports Club, setting up a thrilling second match.
Zimbabwe batted first on a turning track, overcame the mid-innings collapse, and posted 205 thanks to the crucial 62-run partnership between Richard Ngarava (48) and Sikandar Raza (31).
Pakistan's spinners struggled to contain Zimbabwe's attacking opening stand. However, later on, they got their rhythm and Salman Agha and debutant Faisal Akram carried out their work well.
Zimbabwe's spinners spearheaded by Sean Williams with 3-13 and Raza with 2-27 dominated Pakistan's run chase.
Visitors were under pressure as wickets fell at regular intervals, eventually bowled out for 125. Muzarabani's early strikes and the spinners' control were too much for Pakistan.
Rain came along in the 20th over of the second innings, sealing a result and an ultimate triumph for Zimbabwe.
