Monday 28 September 2015 09:41, UK
Imad Wasim took 4-11 as Pakistan made it eight T20 wins out of eight against Zimbabwe with a 13-run victory in Harare.
Zimbabwe were set a modest total of 137 for victory after Shoaib Malik had scored 35 in the Pakistan middle order and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan added a useful unbeaten 33.
Chamu Chibhabha was the pick of the Zimbabwe attack with 3-18, while Tinashe Panyangara, Luke Jongwe, Graeme Cremer and Sean Williams took one apiece.
Opener Hamilton Masakadza provided 25 in the Zimbabwe response but it took him 48 balls to do so and the home side were always behind the pace after that.
Left-arm spinner Wasim, who scored 19 from 21 balls in Pakistan's innings, claimed four wickets and also ran out two batsmen in a career-best performance.
Elton Chigumbura accelerated the scoring with 31 but he was run out in the final over and Zimbabwe ultimately fell short.
