This stunning collapse and Pakistan’s dominant win in the 2nd T20I is a game to remember. Here’s a detailed review of the Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 2nd T20I.
Sufiyan Moqim Stars with 5-Wicket Haul
Pakistan led the series 1-0 heading into the second T20I in Bulawayo, where Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first on a pitch that was expected to remain consistent throughout the game. Both teams fielded the same line-ups as the previous match. Zimbabwe's openers, Brain Bennett and T. Marumani, walked to the crease to face Pakistan's new-ball attack, with Abrar Ahmed starting the proceedings with his leg-spin.
The start was steady for Zimbabwe as they cautiously played their shots and targeted Pakistan's pacers. After four overs, they reached a modest 37 runs. However, the collapse began soon after. Pakistan's Abbas Afridi struck first, dismissing Marumani, and in the following over, Haris Rauf made an immediate impact, removing Brain Bennett for 21. Both openers, who had provided Zimbabwe with a solid start, were back in the pavilion.
The wickets continued to tumble as Afridi sent Sikandar Raza back to the dugout, and the spinners took control. Salman Ali Agha joined the fray, reducing Zimbabwe to 45/4 after 8 overs. This is when young left-arm wrist spinner Sufiyan M0qim took over, and he made an instant impact. He struck with two consecutive deliveries, reducing Zimbabwe to 46/6. Moqim continued his dominance, claiming another two wickets in his next over. He wrapped up the Zimbabwean innings in just his third over, finishing with a sensational 5-wicket haul — 5/3 in just 2.4 overs. Zimbabwe collapsed spectacularly, losing 10 wickets for just 20 runs, and were dismissed for a paltry 57.
The collapse was one of the worst in T20I history, reminiscent of Zimbabwe's struggles in the first T20I. This time, though, the collapse was even more dramatic, with Pakistan's spinners, especially Sufiyan Moqim, in full control. The Pakistan team left the field jubilant, with Moqim walking off with the match ball for his incredible performance.
A Quick Chase
With a target of just 58 to chase, Pakistan's openers, Omair Yousuf and Saim Ayub, strolled to the middle. With no scoreboard pressure, they made light work of the chase, attacking from the outset. There was no looking back as both openers guided Pakistan to victory in just 6 overs, completing the chase with ease. Pakistan won by 10 wickets, sealing the series 2-0 with a match still to play.
This historic game, lasting only 17 overs in total, featured a dramatic collapse, a sensational five-wicket haul, and a swift chase. Sufiyan Moqim's performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the match, earning him the Player of the Match award for his match-winning 5/3.
