Zimbabwe needs 27 runs in three overs. Wouldn't have been an intimidating target if they didn't have half the side back in the hut already. Sikander Raza is still out there and is their last hope to take the side over the finishing line.

Out! Zimbabwe are losing the plot here. Ryan Burl set off for a non existent run and by the time Sikander Raza sent him back it was too late for him.

05 Dec, 19:16 (IST)

Like the first T20I, Pakistan have allowed Zimbabwe to get off a good start in the powerplay. Considering the target, it can be a deciding factor in the game. Although Zimbabwe has historically faltered in the middle overs so the next five overs will be crucial here. 

05 Dec, 19:11 (IST)

Out! The captain strikes. Length delivery on middle, Tadiwanashe Marumani shuffles across, flicks in the air but can't keep it down. Square leg takes a good catch in the end. Good start for Zimbabwe but they have to be careful here. Marumani c Sahibzada Farhan b Salman Agha 15(6).
