Tue Nov 26 17:38:55 UTC 2024: ## Pakistan Thrash Zimbabwe by 10 Wickets, Level ODI Series
**Bulawayo, Zimbabwe:** Pakistan levelled the ODI series against Zimbabwe with a resounding 10-wicket victory in the second match at Bulawayo. Chasing a modest 146, Pakistan achieved the target in just 18.2 overs, thanks to a blistering unbeaten century by Saim Ayub.
Ayub’s electrifying 113 off 62 balls spearheaded Pakistan’s dominant chase. He smashed boundaries at will, reaching his half-century in the 10th over. Abdullah Shafique, who was dropped early in his innings, provided steady support with a 32-run contribution as Pakistan cruised to victory without losing a wicket.
Earlier, Zimbabwe’s batting lineup struggled against Pakistan’s disciplined bowling attack. The hosts lost their openers early and failed to build any significant partnerships. Dion Myers (33) and Sean Williams (31) were the top scorers for Zimbabwe, but their efforts were insufficient. Abrar Ahmad wreaked havoc with the ball, claiming four wickets for 33 runs, while Agha Salman picked up three for 26. Zimbabwe were eventually bowled out for 145 in 32.3 overs.
The victory marks a strong response from Pakistan after their loss in the first ODI. The series now stands tied at 1-1, setting the stage for a thrilling decider.
