Tendai Chatara to Babar Azam
OUT! CAUGHT! Azam falls after playing a magnificent knock. He failed to pick the slower ball and perishes. Do Zimbabwe still have a chance? Slower ball on middle, Azam looks to hammer it over deep mid-wicket but does not get it off the middle. It goes flying in the deep where Madhevere runs ahead and takes a simple catch. 15 needed from 18 balls.

Blessing Muzarabani to Mohammad Rizwan
NOT OUT! That's it! Pakistan win! Good length ball on the pads, Rizwan looks to swing it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. Zimbabwe appeal but nothing from the umpire as the batsmen cross. Zimbabwe take the review. The Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows that it is going down leg. PAKISTAN WIN BY 6 WICKETS.
