Stay tuned for the post-match presentations...

Earlier today, Zimbabwe opted to bat first and were dismissed for just 57 runs inside 13 overs. The opening batters got off to a fine start but the middle and lower order collapsed like a pack of cards failed to form any kind of partnerships. Sufiyan Muqeem with a five-wicket haul was the standout bowler while Abbas Afridi with a couple of wickets also did a fine job. Pakistan will be delighted with the series win and will want to try some fresh faces in the next game while Zimbabwe will look to salvage some pride and win the final game.

A clinical all-round effort from Pakistan helps them thrash Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in the second T20I of the three-match series and take an unassailable 2-0 lead. Chasing a paltry score of 58 for the win, the openers came out all guns blazing and got the job done inside six overs. Saim Ayub made a quick fire 36 off 18 while Omair Yousuf chipped in with 22. Not a lot to talk about the Zimbabwe bowling as they did not have any runs on the board and it was a day to forget for the home side.
