BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE – Zimbabwe’s chase for a challenging target in the third T20I against Pakistan got off to a shaky start. At the end of 11 overs, Zimbabwe found themselves at 77/3, needing a further 56 runs from 54 balls at a revised run rate of 6.22.
Early wickets hampered Zimbabwe’s progress. Brian John Bennett, who initially dominated with a flurry of boundaries, was eventually dismissed for 42 (29 balls) by Sufiyan Muqeem. Earlier, Tadiwanashe Marumani (11) and Dion Myers (13) also fell cheaply. Wesley Madhevere and Sikandar Raza were at the crease at the close of the provided update, with scores of 1 and 3 respectively.
Pakistan’s bowlers maintained a tight line, regularly restricting Zimbabwe’s scoring opportunities despite some impressive hitting from Bennett early in his innings. The match, played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, is part of a three-match T20I series. Further updates will follow as the match progresses.
