Zimbabwe have defeated Pakistan in the second T20I by 19 runs to level the three-match series 1-1 in Harare. Live score and commentary for the match appeared on this thread.
Match summary: Zimbabwe ended its 100 percent loss record as they registered their first ever victory against Pakistan in T20 cricket.
Batting first after losing the toss, Zimbabwe put on a 119-run target on not an ideal batting pitch. Pakistani bowlers did well to restrict the hosts to a small total. Danish Aziz and Mohammad Hasnain grabbed two wickets each while the rest one a piece.
In response, Pakistan struggled to chase the considerably small target and continued to lose wickets at different intervals. The big collapse came in the end as the visiting side lost the last seven wickets for just 21 runs to lose the second T20I by 19 runs. Luke Jongwe, who got four dismissals, including key wickets of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, was awarded Man of the Match.
