OUT! Sufiyan Muqeem gets his fifth wicket of the match and his first T20I fifer. Muqeem bamboozled the Zimbabwean batters with his googly, who found the spinner a mystery. Clive Madande much like others, got deceived with a flighted ball, and handed a simple catch in slip, attempting a big shot. This is also Zimbabwe's lowest-ever T20I total.

OUT! Sufiyan Muqeem is taking down the Zimbabwe batting line-up like a pack of cards. Wellington Masakadza went for the expansive drive but managed to hand the fielder at first slip a simple regulation catch as the ball spun away from the batter to find an outside edge.

OUT! Sufiyan Muqeen gets another one as Tashinga Musekiwa bites the dust. Another googly that gets the better of a Zimbabwean batter, who played the wrong line, and got himself bowled. Tashinga Musekiwa b Sufiyan Muqeem 0(1)
OUT! Sufiyan Muqueem gets Ryan Burl. Burl misread the line and found himself struck on the front pad. Burl looked to nudge the ball away, only to walk back to the pavilion. Ryan Burl lbw b Sufiyan Muqeem 1(4)
