Pakistan players celebrate a tense T20 win over Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi

Pakistan overcame a dramatic top-order collapse and a tricky batting surface to defeat Zimbabwe by five wickets in the opening match of the T20 tri-series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The hosts were rescued by a composed middle-order performance led by Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, and Player of the Match Mohammad Nawaz, after Zimbabwe’s pace attack reduced Pakistan to 31 for 3 inside four overs.

Zimbabwe, who opted to bat first after losing veteran Craig Ervine to injury during warm-up, posted a competitive but below-par 147 for 8, despite a brisk start powered by Brian Bennett and Innocent Kaia. Pakistan’s spinners, particularly Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed, applied the brakes in the middle overs and prevented Zimbabwe from capitalising on their powerplay momentum.

The victory gave Pakistan a crucial early advantage in a tournament that also features New Zealand, with the top two sides contesting the final on November 23.

 


Zimbabwe Start Brightly, But Middle Overs Hurt Momentum

Zimbabwe began with intent, racing to 59 for 0 in six overs, their fastest T20I powerplay of the year. Bennett, typically aggressive against spin, targeted the shorter boundary and forced Pakistan to shuffle their field placements early. Kaia provided steady support, rotating strike effectively and punishing width.

However, the innings unravelled immediately after the power play. Abrar Ahmed struck with his first over, removing Kaia with a sharp googly, before Nawaz dismissed Bennett for 49 after a mistimed slog to deep mid-wicket. Both dismissals came at crucial moments when Zimbabwe appeared set for a total above 165.

From 59 without loss, Zimbabwe slipped to 89 for 4, losing momentum on a surface offering grip and occasional low bounce. Captain Sikandar Raza played a fighting hand worth 34 from 25 deliveries, but received minimal support from the rest of the lineup. Richard Ngarava’s late cameo briefly threatened to push the total closer to 160, but Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf executed tight death overs to restrict scoring.

Zimbabwe managed only 49 runs in the final eight overs, a phase that ultimately defined their innings.

 


Pakistan’s Top Order Collapses Under Early Pressure

Chasing 148, Pakistan made a disastrous start. Brad Evans trapped Sahibzada Farhan lbw with a full ball that straightened sharply, drawing the crowd into stunned silence. Two balls later, Evans induced a thick edge from Babar Azam, who was taken safely at slip — a rare dismissal for the former captain in home conditions.

When debutant Tinotenda Maposa dismissed Agha Salman with a sharp inswinger, Pakistan were reeling at 31 for 3, and Zimbabwe’s confidence surged. The visitors’ aggressive use of seam and swing troubled the batters, with Maposa in particular finding a late dip that forced defensive errors.

Saim Ayub played a brief counterattacking cameo but fell attempting to clear mid-off, leaving Pakistan at 54 for 4 and in danger of a major upset.

 


Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan Reverse Momentum

With Pakistan struggling, Fakhar Zaman absorbed pressure with veteran calm, anchoring the innings while punishing loose deliveries. His 44 off 32 balls featured clean hits over the leg side and deft placement through gaps — a much-needed stabilising knock on a slowing pitch.

Usman Khan, returning to the national side after domestic success, complemented Fakhar with controlled aggression. His footwork against spin stood out, and his ability to rotate strike prevented Zimbabwe from building dot-ball pressure.

The pair added 61 crucial runs, turning the match back in Pakistan’s favour. During their partnership, Raza tried multiple bowling changes, including double-spin from both ends, but Pakistan’s calculated approach kept them ahead of the asking rate.

Fakhar’s dismissal, holing out while attempting a slog sweep, gave Zimbabwe a brief opening. Yet Usman held firm, finishing unbeaten on 37 and guiding the lower order with composure.

 


Nawaz Finishes the Job in Style

With 17 needed off the final 12 balls, Pakistan seemed at risk of dragging the match into the final over. But Mohammad Nawaz, already the star with the ball, delivered a composed finishing act.

Striking two boundaries off Evans in the penultimate over, Nawaz swung momentum decisively. Pakistan completed the chase with five balls remaining, avoiding late drama and securing a confidence-boosting victory ahead of their clash with New Zealand.

 


Captain Reactions

Salman Agha (Pakistan captain)

“We didn’t start well with bat or ball, and that’s an area we must improve. The spinners controlled the game brilliantly and our middle order showed maturity. We’ll rest, recover and prepare harder for the next game.”

Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe captain)

“A few extra runs would have made this interesting. We probably left 15–20 runs on the field. Credit to Pakistan — their bowlers adapted quickly and their middle order played sensibly.”

Mohammad Nawaz (Player of the Match)

“Rawalpindi usually offers more pace, but today it was slower. I tried to keep things simple. The wicket also suited my bowling. Always happy to contribute in both departments.”

 


Key Takeaways

  • Pakistan’s top order remains a concern, collapsing again to disciplined seam bowling.
     
  • Zimbabwe’s opening stand was promising, but poor middle overs and a lack of finishing cost them.
     
  • Pakistan’s spinners turned the match decisively, picking 5 wickets in the 12 overs between them.
     
  • Usman Khan’s calm knock strengthens his case for a permanent middle-order role.
     
  • Nawaz’s all-round performance (2 wickets + match-winning cameo) proved the difference.
     

 


Match Summary

Zimbabwe: 147/8 (Bennett 49, Raza 34; Nawaz 2-21, Abrar 2-28)
Pakistan: 148/5 in 19.1 overs (Fakhar 44, Usman 37*; Evans 2-27, Maposa 1-18)
Result: Pakistan won by 5 wickets
Player of the Match: Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan)

Pakistan Shaheens Stay Unbeaten After Big Win Over UAE

Pakistan Shaheens continued their strong run in the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 with a nine-wicket win over the UAE in their final Group B match at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The victory kept Pakistan unbeaten in the group stage. Earlier this week, several national players also made gains in the latest ICC ODI rankings, showing good form across formats.   UAE, who were asked to bat first, struggled from the start. They lost three quick wickets inside the first six overs and never recovered. Ahmed Tariq fell for a first-ball duck, while captain Alishan Sharafu was trapped LBW for three. Sohaib Khan also departed early as UAE slipped to 15-3.   The collapse continued in the middle overs. Harshit Kaushik was removed for five, and a brief attempt to rebuild ended when Syed Haider fell after scoring 20 off 19 balls. Pakistan’s bowlers kept the pressure on, picking wickets at regular intervals. In the 14th over, Sufiyan Muqeem struck twice in two balls to leave UAE 50-9. The innings ended at the same score when Maaz Sadaqat dismissed Muhammad Jawadullah. Meanwhile, the PCB recently issued a clarification regarding new team identities for future PSL seasons.   Muqeem led the attack with 3/12, while Sadaqat and Ahmed Daniyal took two wickets each. Shahid Aziz, Mohammad Shahzad and Arafat Minhas shared one wicket apiece.   Pakistan chased the small target calmly and wrapped up the match in just 5.2 overs. The only wicket fell when Mohammad Rohid dismissed Mohammad Naeem for six. After that, Maaz Sadaqat and Ghazi Ghori took control and added a 50-run stand.   Sadaqat played an explosive knock of 37 not out off 15 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes. Ghori supported him with 16 off 12 balls.   With this win, Pakistan Shaheens topped Group B with six points and a net run rate of 4.560, finishing the first round with three wins in three matches.
