Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Danyal Rasool

Proud as punch, Brendan Taylor walks up. "Big turnaround from the first game. They were very professional in the field and the bowlers had clear minds and executed their plans perfectly. I can't say I was confident but the character shown was great. We dug deep, we managed to squueze Pakistan and our commitment got us over the line. As a batting unit, we need to fire a little more in the Powerplay. We feel they're a stronger bowling unit than a batting unit, and if we get 140-150, we can challenge them"

Luke Jongwe is the Player of the Match. Jongwe thanks his teammates and coach. "It was a bit difficult later on in the innings. I kept on changing the pace and working on my strengths." He admits he was copying Shamis with that boot celebration. Shamsi's active on Twitter, so let's wait and see what he thinks of it.

A dejected Babar Azam walks up to the stage. "We played poor cricket. Credit to Zimbabwe who came back so strongly today. We continue to struggle in the middle order, but we need guys to step up. The wicket was similar to the other day, but it was double-paced. That's not an excuse, we're a professional side, and we should have chased this down."

Ryan Burl on the mic says he can't believe what happened out there. Pays rich tribute to the fielders, "I can't remember one occasion where we dropped a catch or even misfielded a ball"

Adil: "Shame full display from pakistan and again specially middle order..it's time to get rid off Asif ali .T20 word cup is ahead and this is your preparation..even a team which is not qualified for World Cup..they have beaten pakistan "

Manish: "Zimbabwe played like the team they used to be once... unsettling even the strongest on their day."

Jimmy: "Happy to have been proven wrong. Best bowling figures for Luke!! Cricket is a wonderful game- had written off Zim after seeing them bat the first 10 overs..now this!!!!"

Jongwe to Arshad Iqbal, OUT, What an extraordinary achievement for Zimbabwe. They crawled to 118, looked as if Pakistan would absolutely pummel them. But they began tidily, never gave any extra runs away, didn't drop catches, and suddenly, Pakistan found themselves in a game. In those tighter moments, Zimbabwe were far superior, and it was fairly comfortable in the end

Pakistan are bowled out for 99! Zimbabwe have thrashed Pakistan here, humbling them by 19 runs to achieve a first T20I win against this country. Sombre day for Pakistan as Zimbabwe are in a huddle

Jongwe to Haris Rauf, OUT, another wicket! Haris spooned it to Brendan Taylor and ZImbabwe have a swagger in their step with these celebrations. He rolled his fingers over it and Taylor gives him a big hug after taking the catch

Jongwe to Haris Rauf, no run, swing and a miss, and that should wrap it up. Pakistan need 20 off three, and barring extras, Zimbabwe have beaten Pakistan

Jongwe to Haris Rauf, no run, another slower ball, Haris's wild swing clubs fresh air. Zimbabwe getting close now

Jongwe to Usman Qadir, OUT, what on earth was that? Haris was desperate to take the strike, which, to be fair, he does. Missed a slog, and Rauf wanted the strike, so Qadir held that end up until the keepr through it to the non-striker's end, where Qadir is run out.

Usman Qadir run out 0 (7m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
