2.1 to BJ Bennett, Stumps askew! Zips it quicker, firing into the stumps, he leans across for a full-blooded sweep and left a big gap at leg-stump, Abrar adjusts his line and ruses him with a quicker one; leg-stump is knocked off as Pakistan draw first blood. 12/1
2.5 to D Myers, Gone! Abrar produces his magic again with his befuddling methods! Fraction short and never really arrives at him, he backs away and thinks about cutting it, ball hits the off-stump and Myers has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. Zimbabwe in trouble. 18/2
15.3 to T Gwandu, Appeal for a stumping. Floated like a petal outside off, another delicious googly, he is searching for it and tracking the movement, trying to put some bat on it, it’s another devilish delivery, goes past the outside edge and Usman removes the bails quickly; third umpire into action. The back foot is not inside the crease when the bails came off so Pakistan win the opening T20I at a canter. Zimbabwe would rue the opportunity to take this game deep after a fantastic powerplay and the team left it all to Raza. Nobody stepped up from the middle-order and Pakistan kept making regular incisions, wrapped it up quickly after Raza’s wicket. 108/10
