That's It! The last six wickets collapsed like a pack of cards. Zimbabwe were well on course to win the game but the brainfade run out of Tadiwanashe Marumani started the collapse. After that no body could put up a resistance. Abrar Ahmed provided Zimbabwe the initial blows and Sufiyan Muqeem ran through the middle order. The visitors take a comfortable 1-0 lead in the series with this win.

Out! Zimbabwe has completely lost momentum since the dismissal of Tadiwanashe Marumani and now the target seems a steep task for them.

Initially they had a good start in the powerplay but the momentum slipped with the fall of wickets in the middle overs. Zimbabwe won't be totally unhappy as the target is within their chasing range.
