BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE – Pakistan secured a resounding victory in the second T20I against Zimbabwe, bowling out their opponents for a paltry 57 runs in 13 overs. The Zimbabwean innings collapsed spectacularly after a promising start.
After a solid opening, with Brian Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani reaching 37 without loss after four overs, the Zimbabwean batting order crumbled. Abbas Afridi spearheaded the collapse, taking a key wicket early on and later delivering a stunning delivery that clean-bowled Sikandar Raza. Raza’s dismissal, described as “exquisite” by commentators, saw him frozen in disbelief as the bails were sent flying. Afridi’s spell left Raza and the Zimbabwean team stunned.
The collapse continued at a rapid pace, with Zimbabwe losing wickets in quick succession. Sufiyan Muqeem also contributed significantly to the rout, taking four wickets in just two overs. Social media erupted with reactions to Zimbabwe’s dramatic implosion, with many expressing disbelief at the team’s performance. The match ultimately ended in a comprehensive win for Pakistan.
