Pakistan rested Saim Ayub for the 3rd T20I, and Zimbabwe capitalized with a thrilling one-run win. Masakadza struck early, removing both openers to leave Pakistan struggling at 9 in the powerplay. Despite a brief recovery, Pakistan’s modest total gave Zimbabwe a chance, and Bennett, Marumani, and Myers set up a 71-run platform. Muqeem’s tight spell pulled things back, but debutant Tinotenda Maposa smashed a four and a six in the final over to seal Zimbabwe’s hard-fought victory. Pakistan still took the series 2-1, but Zimbabwe ended with pride in Bulawayo.

ZIM vs PAK – Bowling Strength Overshadowed by Batting Failure

Pakistan’s bowlers put in another solid shift, but their batting once again left them exposed. Other than Salman Agha’s steady 32, no one was able to hold the innings together as Blessing Muzarabani and Wellington Masakadza struck at key moments to keep Pakistan under pressure. Partnerships never truly developed, and the team limped to 132, a total far below what was needed on a competitive surface. Sufiyan Muqeem impressed once more with his control, while Abbas Afridi added three wickets to briefly spark hope of defending the score. In the end, however, the lack of runs proved decisive, as Pakistan’s batting flaws outweighed their bowling strength despite taking the series 2-1.
