Bulawayo, Zimbabwe – Pakistan secured a commanding 10-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the second T20I at the Queens Sports Club on Tuesday, winning the series 2-0. The victory was built on a stunning bowling performance that saw Zimbabwe bowled out for their lowest ever T20I total of 57 runs.
Sufiyan Muqeem, playing only his sixth T20I, spearheaded Pakistan’s bowling attack, claiming career-best figures of 5 for 3. His devastating spell, which included two wickets in consecutive overs, triggered a dramatic Zimbabwean collapse after a promising start from openers Brian Bennett (21) and Tadiwanashe Marumani. The Zimbabwean innings crumbled after the dismissal of Marumani in the fifth over, with wickets falling at regular intervals.
Pakistan’s chase was a mere formality. Omair Yousuf (22*) and Saim Ayub (36*) smashed boundaries with ease, reaching the target in just 5.3 overs without losing a wicket. The pair mercilessly targeted the Zimbabwean bowlers, showcasing impressive power hitting.
The convincing win underscores Pakistan’s dominance in the series and highlights the impressive talent of Muqeem, who played a pivotal role in their comprehensive victory.
