An easy win for Pakistan in the end. The hosts started off well with Masakadza and Sibanda putting up a 53-run opening stand. But, Anwar Ali trapped Masakadza in the 8th over and it all went downhill from there. The spinners were exceptional and quick strikes pegged back Zimbabwe as their scoring rate decreased. Taylor's fightback at one end was not enough as they needed 32 off the final over. Tanvir made sure he bowled a disciplined line to give the visitors a comfortable 25-run victory in the first match.
