**Harare, Zimbabwe** – Zimbabwe pulled off another stunning victory over Pakistan, defeating them by two wickets in the final T20I of their three-match series on Thursday. This win follows their emphatic 80-run victory in the first ODI of the tour, highlighting Zimbabwe’s remarkable recent dominance over the higher-ranked Pakistan team.
Pakistan, electing to bat first, posted a modest 132/7 after a shaky innings. Their top order struggled, with key batsmen failing to capitalize. Captain Salman Agha and Tayyab Tahir offered some resistance with a 33-run partnership, but wickets fell consistently, limiting Pakistan’s total. Blessing Muzarabani was the pick of the Zimbabwean bowlers, claiming two wickets.
Zimbabwe’s chase wasn’t smooth sailing either. While Tadiwanashe Marumani and Brian Bennett provided a solid start with a 41-run opening partnership, wickets tumbled regularly as they aimed for a challenging target. Bennett top-scored with 43 runs, but the middle order faltered. Despite late nerves, Zimbabwe managed to reach the target with one ball to spare, securing a thrilling victory and a series win.
This latest win further underscores Zimbabwe’s improved form and their ability to upset higher-ranked teams. The series marks a significant upset and raises questions about Pakistan’s current form.
