In a thrilling showdown between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, Pakistani left-arm wristspinner Sufiyan Muqeem showcased his talent in a remarkable T20 match. Making his debut in October 2023, Muqeem left a lasting impact with his stellar performance in the second T20 match in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe's batting lineup crumbled under the pressure as they lost all ten wickets for a mere 57 runs in 12.4 overs. This dismal total marked Zimbabwe's lowest score in the T20 format.
Muqeem was the star of the show, claiming a career-best 5-3 in just 2.4 overs to decimate the Zimbabwean batting order. Pakistan's bowlers dominated the game, restricting Zimbabwe with precision and skill. In a remarkable turn of events, Pakistan effortlessly chased down the target, finishing with a commanding 61/0 in just 5.3 overs. Opener Saim Ayub played a pivotal role, smashing 36 runs off 18 balls, while his partner Omair Yousuf contributed 22 runs from 15 deliveries. This resounding victory marked Pakistan's largest win in terms of the number of deliveries remaining.
Looking ahead, Pakistan aims to secure a clean sweep in the T20 series as they face Zimbabwe in the upcoming match on Thursday. With the confidence from their dominant performance, Pakistan will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and secure the series victory.
