Zimbabwe won the toss in the match and they elected to bat first. The decision wasn’t necessarily a good one for the side as they were restricted to 130/8 by the Pakistan bowling unit. Pacer Mohammad Wasim shined with the ball as he bagged 4 wickets. Also, Shadab Khan picked up three wickets and Haris Rauf took one wicket.

Chasing the target, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan failed for the second consecutive time in the multi-nation tournament. The struggle of the middle-order batters continued and they could only manage to score 129/8 in their 20 overs.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan National Cricket Team pace-bowling great Wasim Akram was left gutted by the result of the match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

“What a shocker,” tweeted Wasim Akram.
