In the comment section, some fans applauded the Zimbabwe bowling lineup’s brilliant effort. However, according to them, the batting department requires some improvements to achieve better results in the upcoming days. Batting first, Zimbabwe managed to post a below-par total of 130 runs in 20 overs. Sean Williams, with his 28-ball 31, topped the scoresheet. In response, Pakistan batters got completely baffled in front of the smart bowling of Sikandar Raza and Brad Evans who picked up three and two wickets respectively . The last-over thriller saw Pakistan falling short of just a single run, breaching the target. With three points, Zimbabwe have now moved to third place in Group 2 of the T20 World Cup, trailing South Africa on net run rate.
