- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.5 Abrar has the last laugh! He has cleaned him up! Abrar gets his first wicket in ODI. That spun away from middle sharply and sneaked through the gate, disturbing middle stump as Gumbie desperately tried to get behind the line and was deceived by the sharp turn 23/21.3 Dicey call for a run and looks like Marumani is in trouble! Outstanding work from Tayyab Tahir at midwicket; he latched onto in a jiffy inside the ring and pinged a sharp throw at Rizwan who removed the bails in a flash; massive breakdown of communication and Pakistan get their first! 6/112.2 Massive appeal in unison for lbw and given! Slightly quicker and kicks in at middle; he tries to whip it to the leg side and is flummoxed by the sharp turn and the change of pace; his entertaining knock comes to an end; will be gutted with himself after getting a solid start. Looked pretty plumb in real time, no DRS available but there doesn't seem much doubt in this 61/314.6 Spin from all ends proving a stern test for Zimbabwe as another wicket fells down. Ervine goes way down the leg side to create room and biff it into the covers; trying to break the shackles and ends up edging it to Rizwan who seldom shells it. Pakistan manage to find wickets at regular intervals. Agha gets his second and Zimbabwe need some rebuilding and a big partnership 68/425.5 Around the wicket, flips it fuller on middle and beats his reverse sweep; adjudged lbw straightaway; ball thunder down into the front pad; there was not a tinge of doubt about that in anyone's mind so after some resistance and control, the pattern continues and Zimbabwe find themselves in a spot of bother; spin dominating the proceedings 121/620.2 Tries it again and loses his wicket in the process, one big shot too many? Over the wicket, length on middle, comes down again and this time clonks it straight to Ahmed at mid-off. Always a big wicket, one of the best all-rounders 97/531.1 Over the wicket, dropped short and turning in at middle, yanks his front leg out of the way and wanted to hoik that out of sight; couldn't find the requisite elevation and finds Kamran at short midwicket who takes a nifty catch; making things ridiculously easy for the visitors 133/927.6 There was some doubt but umpire was quick to raise the finger; undone by the lack of spin on this occasion; fired it quick and straight in the line of stumps, he goes back and tries to slug that into the leg side, caught on the crease, rapped on the left pad, slightly high but he'll have to go and it's a familiar story for Zimbabwe. Can Ngarava play another blinder of an innings 125/729.4 Floated up a googly on a length and it spins a wee bit, beating his ambitious swing down the ground; was early through the shot and didn't account for that little turn as well. Lovely ball; smart tactics to bring the fielder in and lure him with the bait 132/832.3 Trying to go for another monster hit and perishing in the process Tosses it up on middle and off, gave him extra air and he went big again; plenty of height but not enough distance, caught at deep midwicket as Zimbabwe capitulate against spin, only scrapping their way to 145 which doesn't look enough 145/10Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL145 all out (32.3 Overs, RR: 4.46)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (Joylord Gumbie, 3.5 ov), 3-61 (Dion Myers, 12.2 ov), 4-68 (Craig Ervine, 14.6 ov), 5-97 (Sikandar Raza, 20.2 ov), 6-121 (Sean Williams, 25.5 ov), 7-125 (Brandon Mavuta, 27.6 ov), 8-132 (Richard Ngarava, 29.4 ov), 9-133 (Brian Bennett, 31.1 ov), 10-145 (Blessing Muzarabani, 32.3 ov)
