Zimbabwe create history with Pakistan win

It was a magical moment for the Chevrons, who secured their first win in the Super 12 stage after beating Pakistan.

The Zimbabweans were defending a lowly total of 130 runs to secure an emphatic win, and did so in the last ball of the match!

But this is actually not the lowest total that Zimbabwe have had to defend in their cricketing history.

In 2010, the side successfully defended 105 against West Indies, beating them at the Port of Spain.

Then in 2021, the Chevrons were brilliant against Ireland as well, defending total of 117.

Once more in 2021, Pakistan were unable to score 118 runs during their visit to Zimbabwe.

Continuing this trend in 2021, Zimbabwe successfully defended 124 runs against Ireland.
