Pakistan completed a clean sweep of Zimbabwe in all three formats of the game, winning the second Twenty20 in an exciting last-ball finish in Harare. Zimbabwe struggled to build momentum in their chase due to Pakistan's controlled bowling, but Tatenda Taibu's aggressive batting in the final over gave them hope. Taibu hit a six off the first ball and managed to score two runs off each of the next four deliveries, leaving him with six runs to get off the last ball. Sohail Khan then bowled a low, full toss wide outside off stump to secure the victory for Pakistan. Taibu had moved towards the leg side and was unable to make a shot, resulting in an anti-climatic end to a chase that Zimbabwe allowed to become too difficult. Vusi Sibanda and Chamu Chibhabha started well, with Sibanda hitting a beautiful straight drive for four. They managed to score boundaries in the first four overs but failed to rotate the strike effectively, causing the required run-rate to increase. Chibhabha attempted to accelerate the scoring against Saeed Ajmal by trying to hit over long on, but was caught by Yasir Shah just outside the circle as he backpedalled. Ajmal's first over, in which he took a wicket without conceding any runs, slowed down Zimbabwe's attempt to chase the target. Sibanda's frustration increased as he was caught by Hafeez at point while trying to hit a big shot. Hafeez continued to perform well with both bat and ball, dismissing Zhuwao with a straight delivery and getting Maskadza and Taylor out with catches. Zimbabwe's chase fell apart further when Coventry swung his bat at the first three balls he faced from Junaid Khan. Two of them hit boundaries for four runs, while the third player bottom-edged the ball onto his stumps. Elton Chigumbura managed to hit some strong shots, but struggled against the high-quality bowling. Despite the pressure, Pakistan's bowlers remained composed until the final over. Taibu had to lead both Prosper Utseya and himself, but Sohail ultimately made the decisive play. Zimbabwe showed improvement in their fielding, bowled more accurately, and capitalized on all the catching opportunities to restrict Pakistan to under 150 runs. Taylor showed creativity in his bowling changes, starting with a spinner before bringing in Chibhabha in the third over. Chibhabha quickly made an impact by getting a wicket when Asad Shafiq tried to hit a length ball for a six but was caught by Chigumbura at long-on. Shortly after, Rameez Raja was caught at short fine leg. Kyle Jarvis also performed well, delivering better lengths than in previous matches, and managed to get Raja out with a short ball. The hosts continued to put pressure on Pakistan by catching Shoaib Malik behind off Chigumbura after he attempted to hit a wide delivery. Hafeez took advantage of the spinners and played a significant innings, allowing Umar Akmal to take a cautious approach while he was at the crease. Chigumbura bowled an effective spell with slower balls, eventually getting Hafeez out. This led to a decrease in runs and boundaries for Pakistan, with only 36 runs scored in the last five overs. Akmal was run out while attempting a second run, and Tanvir was bowled by Jarvis. Jarvis performed well in the final overs of the match, effectively using yorkers, a type of delivery that he is very close to mastering.
