Tue Dec 03 15:30:12 UTC 2024: ## Pakistan Clinches T20 Series Win Over Zimbabwe with Dominant Victory
**LAHORE, PAKISTAN** – Pakistan swept the two-match T20I series against Zimbabwe with a resounding 10-wicket victory in the second match. Sufiyan Muqeem’s exceptional bowling performance spearheaded Pakistan’s triumph, claiming 5 wickets for just 3 runs in 2.4 overs. This win marks Pakistan’s first-ever T20I series win under the captaincy of Salman Agha.
Zimbabwe, after winning the toss and electing to bat, crumbled under Pakistan’s relentless attack, managing a paltry 57 runs in 12.5 overs. Brian Bennett (21) and T. Marumani (16) were the top scorers for Zimbabwe, with no other batsman reaching double figures. Abbas Afridi also contributed with two wickets, while Abrar Ahmed and Agha each took one.
Chasing a modest 58-run target, Pakistan openers Omair Yusuf (22*) and Saim Ayub (36*) comfortably steered their team to victory in just 5.3 overs, without losing a wicket. Muqeem’s outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Match award, and cemented his place as only the third Pakistani bowler to achieve a five-wicket haul in T20I cricket.
