That is it from our side for this game. Pakistan have made a light work of the Zimbabwe bowling to go 2-0 up in the series. We will catch up with you again at 0915 local (0715 GMT) on Wednesday for the third ODI. Till then, ciao!

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed starts by thanking the almighty. Then goes on to say that Usman khan was good for them today and later, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman finished the job. Further praises his strike bowler Usman Khan who he believe has been good since the Sri Lanka series and he is happy with his contribution. Implies that they have to work hard and improve in the fielding department but they are learning and getting better with each game.

Man of the Match Fakhar Zaman says that the wicket has been good and he has doing his best to use it to his advantage. He adds that when you're in a purple patch, you have to make most of it. Asserts that the pitch played better in the second innings and made it easier to bat on.

Alistair Campbell is conducting the post match presentation. He talks with Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza who starts by saying that he got at the wrong time. Further asserts that they didn't rotate the strike enough and played too many dots in the middle over. Implies that they need someone to make it difficult for the batters in the latter half of the innings. Ends by saying that he is hopeful of getting back into the contest in the next match.

Chasing 195 was never going to trouble the Pakistan batters. Their openers made the pitch look like a batting paradise as they conjured up another century stand. After Imam-ul-Haq was unfortunately run out, Babar Azam joined hands with Fakhar Zaman for an unbeaten 76-run partnership. The latter went on to score his 2nd century in the process and propelled his team to a 2-nil lead in the series. None of the Zimbabwe bowlers could get into the wickets column, which should tell you about their sorry state in this match.

Wow. What a match this has been. I've never seen a more comfortable victory in years. After winning the toss, Zimbabwe chose to bat on a chilly morning and they didn't start well. Usman Khan removed both the openers but their skipper Hamilton Masakadza and Tarisai Musakanda stitched an important 62-run partnership. This was crucial as it got them to a better stage, however, both lost their wickets at the wrong time and that opened the floodgates. Peter Moor was the lone-warrior in the middle-order but no other batters contributed. His half-century did push the score to 194 for the hosts but they failed to cross 200.

36.1

Donald Tiripano To Babar Azam

Wide! An extra to end the game! Short and down the leg side, Babar allows it through and the umpire stretches his arms. All over, PAKISTAN WIN BY 9 WICKETS WITH 84 BALLS REMAINING!

35.6

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Quicker around leg, Zaman tries to cut but gets a bottom edge. It rolls to the bowler. Just 1 more needed now.

35.5

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

FOUR! Bang! Wellington goes short on this occasion, around off, Zaman uses the depth of his crease and smashes it through cover-point. The field is up and hence there is no one in the deep to cut it off. This is now Fakhar's highest score in ODIs.

35.4

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

FOUR! Tossed up ball landing full around middle and leg, Zaman gets down on one knee and neatly sweeps it fine down the leg side for a boundary.

35.3

Wellington Masakadza To Babar Azam

Driven through mid off by the batsman. One run added to the total.

35.2

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Flatter and around leg, Fakhar gets deep inside the crease to play the cut shot but is cramped for room. He ends up getting a bottom edge through the keeper's leg for a run. Strangely, the umpire gives it as a bye. Hmm...

35.1

Wellington Masakadza To Babar Azam

Tossed up ball outside off, driven through mid off for a run.

34.6

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

Play and a miss! Tiripano bowls it full and wide outside off, Fakhar stays leg side of his delivery, throws his bat at it but fails to make any contact.

34.5

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

The batsman picked that bouncer early and let it through to the keeper.

34.4

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

Straighter in line and it has been worked behind the square leg region for a couple of runs.

34.3

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

Smart batting. Sees the batsman giving the charge and making room outside off and bowls it wider of him. Zaman lets it through.

34.2

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

On a length around off, tapped down to point.

34.1

Donald Tiripano To Fakhar Zaman

Dropped by Chatara! A short delivery around leg, Zaman pulls it across the line but fails to middle it quite well. It goes aerially towards short fine leg where Chatara attempts to catch it with a dive to his left but fails to hold on.

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Loopy and full on the pads, turned to square leg for one.

33.5

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Shortish and on middle and off, Fakhar rocks back to play the square cut but it takes the outside edge and rolls to short third man.

33.4

Wellington Masakadza To Babar Azam

Plants his front foot forward and eases it through mid on for another run in this over.

33.3

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Driven towards the mid off region. The batsmen have run through for a single.

33.2

Wellington Masakadza To Babar Azam

Presses forward to a full ball and drives it through mid off for a single.

33.1

Wellington Masakadza To Fakhar Zaman

Flighted and on leg, it's flicked through square leg for a single.

Hangs back and works the ball to the on side.

32.4

Liam Roche To Fakhar Zaman

And he misses the slog sweep this time. A rare miss for Zaman.

Liam Roche To Fakhar Zaman

The batsman plays it with an angled bat and guides it to third man.

32.2

Liam Roche To Babar Azam

A shortish ball in line of the stumps, Azam pulls it through mid-wicket for another easy run.
