Inn Break
Who will come out to bat for Pakistan? It is Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah who are coming out to bat for Pakistan. Who will be the bowler now for Zimbabwe? Blessing Muzarabani it is.
Zimbabwe will be very disappointed with their performance. They had the game in their bag but the last few overs, they were really poor especially in the field. Poor stuff and this match shouldn't have gone to a Super Over but it has and given Pakistan a real chance of a victory. Terrible fielding performance from the visitors. Chisoro should have stopped the last ball comfortably.
What a match we have had! After 100 overs of exciting cricket, we have ended up with a Super Over. Pakistan were all out of this game but Babar Azam's century and Wahab Riaz's fifty brought them back. Both Riaz and Azam fell at the end and gave Zimbabwe a chance but Musa Khan had other plans as he finished with two boundaries to take the match to a Super Over.

Blessing Muzarabani To Babar Azam OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Babar Azam departs! Is that the end of the game for Pakistan? A 5-fer for Muzarabani! Brilliant stuff. Look at the celebrations. They know that they are within distance of a victory. Short ball around off, Azam looks to cut but it takes the top edge and goes to the keeper. Taylor makes no mistake and starts celebrating. The umpire raises his finger and Azam has to go. What an innings from him but it comes to an end. Azam will be disappointed to not have taken his side home.

DRINKS! The game is nicely poised with Zimbabwe requiring another 4 wickets to seal a victory and Pakistan needing 105 more. The one man standing in between is the skipper of Pakistan, Babar Azam. He is well set and going good with his 80 runs. He will be eying his ton and look to see his team home. He will also remember that there is no batting left after Wahab Riaz. Whereas, Zimbabwe would want to see the back of either Azam or Riaz to get into the bowlers. Will they be able to scalp one more and get a step closer to victory or will Babar and Riaz see their side home?

NOT OUT! That one was very close but Babar Azam survives! That wicket would have been the game for Zimbabwe. Floated on off, Azam looks to defend but he misses and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal and the umpire says no. Zimbabwe go for the review straightaway. Ultra Edge shows nothing. Ball Tracker comes in and the impact is outside off. The on-field decision stays and so does Babar Azam.
Review time! Zimbabwe have taken a review against Babar Azam. Lets see what the replays have to say. Fair delivery, no bat involved and Ultra Edge confirms it. Ball Tracker comes on and Impact is outside off. The on field decision stands and Zimbabwe lose the review.

Blessing Muzarabani To Khushdil Shah OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The plan to bring back the pacer has worked out for Zimbabwe as they break apart this partnership. Peach of a delivery to get rid of Khushdil and Zimbabwe will believe that they are back into this game. Brilliantly bowled. Muzarabani bowls this one on a length and gets it to move away from the left hander. Khushdil is tempted into the drive and goes for it but the ball kisses his outside edge and goes to the keeper who is not going to drop these. Just the breakthrough that Zimbabwe needed.

Ahmed plays a loose shot and he perishes. Good length ball on off, angling in. Ahmed looks to drive without moving his feet at all. The ball sneaks in between his bat and pad and it goes onto hit the stumps. 191 required from 195 balls.

DRINKS! So far it has been Zimbabwe with the ball. They took the mantle from their batters and came steaming in at the Pakistan top order. The Pakistan top order did not show the desired intent and fell to the Zimbabwean seamers. The good thing for Pakistan is that their skipper is still out there and he is their last hope. On the other hand, Zimbabwe would like to snare a couple of quick wickets and get into the bowling all-rounders of Pakistan. Who will come out on top? We will find out after the break.
