pakistan t20i tri series 2025

Salman Mirza to Tinotenda Maposa, out Bowled!! You miss, I hit. Back of a length around off, Tinotenda Maposa swings and misses. The off stumps goes for a toss and Zimbabwe have lost another wicket, they are eight down. They need to bat sensibly with Raza stranded at the other end. He clearly looks frustrated by the shots played by the lower-order batters. Tinotenda Maposa b Salman Mirza 1(3)

Shaheen Afridi to Brad Evans, out Caught by Salman Agha!! There goes another wicket. Brad Evans looks to chip this across the line and miscues it altogether. Lobs up towards mid-off and Salman Agha stationed there takes a safe catch. Brad Evans c Salman Agha b Shaheen Afridi 2(5)

Abrar Ahmed to Tashinga Musekiwa, out Bowled!! Another one bites the dust! The straighter delivery around middle and leg, Tashinga Musekiwa goes for a drive with a straight bat, misses it altogether and the stumps have been shattered. Tashinga Musekiwa b Abrar Ahmed 2(3)

Saim Ayub to Munyonga, out Munyonga Run Out!! Sweeps this towards short fine leg and sets off for a single, but the fielder stationed there is quick to get rid of the ball. Munyonga is sent back by Raza and he fails to get back in the crease. He put in a dive, but the bails were dislodged by the keeper before the dive was put in. He's a goner! Munyonga run out (Salman Mirza/Usman Khan) 3(4)

Nawaz to Ryan Burl, out Caught by Babar Azam!! Nawaz has the last laugh! Pitches it up slightly, was outside off and Ryan Burl went for a slog once again. Gets a big top edge and the ball balloons high up in the night sky. Babar stationed at long-on settles underneath the skier and takes it safely. Was in the air for an eternity, but Babar kept his cool and completed the formalities. Ryan Burl c Babar Azam b Nawaz 8(8) [4s-1]

Saim Ayub to Brian Bennett, out Caught&Bowled!! That's a soft dismissal. Tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Brian Bennett chips it straight back to Saim Ayub who takes a safe catch in his followthrough. As easy as it can get. Zimbabwe have lost another set batter. He misses out on his fifty by one run, unfortunately. Brian Bennett c and b Saim Ayub 49(36) [4s-8]

Saim Ayub to Brendan Taylor, out Brendan Taylor Run Out!! 1 run completed. Tossed up delivery around middle and leg, Brendan Taylor sweeps it towards fine leg and calls for two straightaway. Babar from the deep fires a flat throw at the keeper's end and Usman Khan is quick to dislodge the bails. Brendan Taylor was way outside the crease and his rusty knock comes to an end. Wasn't able to rotate the strike and he is gone due a fine throw by Babar. Brendan Taylor run out (Babar Azam/Usman Khan) 14(14) [4s-2]

Nawaz to Marumani, out Caught by Shaheen Afridi!! Nawaz breaks the opening partnership. He strikes in his first over. This was a full toss on leg and Marumani flicks it straight to deep backward square leg. Afridi stationed there completes a well-judged running catch and that brings an end to Marumani's cameo. Marumani c Shaheen Afridi b Nawaz 30(22) [4s-3 6s-1]

Ngarava to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Brendan Taylor!! Fakhar Zaman walks. A vital wicket for Zimbabwe, but Fakhar will feel he's done enough to take his side close to the finish line. Tries to play the cheeky lap scoop and ended up guiding it to the keeper off the inside edge. Not a great deal of pace on offer from Ngarava which is what did the trick. Fakhar Zaman c Brendan Taylor b Ngarava 44(32) [4s-2 6s-2]

Cremer to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Tashinga Musekiwa!! Graeme Cremer has a wicket third ball on his comeback. He bowls the teaser on leg stump. Full and inviting the big hit from the Pakistan opener. Saim Ayub went down on one knee and tried to smoke it into the cow corner orbit - skews it off the bottom of the bat and offers catching practice to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Musekiwa fumbled slightly, but managed to hold onto it with both hands. Saim Ayub c Tashinga Musekiwa b Cremer 22(26) [4s-1 6s-1]

Tinotenda Maposa to Salman Agha, out Lbw!! Two lbws. Two reviews and both out on umpire's call. Another day and luck would have switched sides. An excellent yorker from Tinotenda Maposa, gets the ball to tail in late and smashes Salman Agha on the front boot a shade in front of off stump. Ball tracker suggests that it was umpire's call on impact and that was all Zimbabwe needed. As soon as the bowler appealed, umpire Asif Yaqoob had his finger up in a flash. The visitors look cock-a-hoop and rightly so. Salman Agha lbw b Tinotenda Maposa 1(2)

Brad Evans to Babar Azam, out Lbw!! Third duck in his last 6 T20I innings for Babar Azam. Not the kind of stat he would want to look back on. Brad Evans went wide of the crease and got the ball to seam back into the right-hander, Babar Azam was rooted to the crease and wanted to push it back to the bowler. The ball shapes past the inside edge and hits him low on the back pad in front of leg stump. Only good thing for Pakistan is that they haven't lost a review. Babar Azam lbw b Brad Evans 0(3)

Brad Evans to Sahibzada Farhan, out Bowled!! Timber. Smashes the top of middle peg. Skiddy short of length delivery that curls in slightly to sneak through the bat-pad gate of Sahibzada Farhan. He was very reluctant to use his feet from the onset and paid the ultimate price for it. Wanted to punch, but no dice. Sahibzada Farhan b Brad Evans 16(15) [4s-3]
