Pakistan completed a full sweep of Zimbabwe in all three formats of the game, winning the second Twenty20 in a thrilling last-ball finish in Harare. Zimbabwe struggled 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, followed by two runs off each of the next four deliveries. With six runs needed off the last ball, Sohail Khan bowled a wide, low full toss outside off stump to secure the win for Pakistan. Taibu, who had moved to the leg side, was unable to make a shot, resulting in an underwhelming conclusion to a chase that Zimbabwe allowed to become too challenging. Vusi Sibanda and Chamu Chibhabha started off 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 free himself when Saeed Ajmal bowled, trying to hit over long on, but was caught by Yasir Shah just outside the circle. Ajmal's first over, in which he took a wicket without conceding any runs, slowed down Zimbabwe's chase until the very end. Sibanda became increasingly frustrated and was eventually caught by Hafeez at point while attempting a big shot. Hafeez's excellent performance with both bat and ball was clear, as he bowled Zhuwao with a straight delivery and took the wickets of Maskadza and Taylor as well. As Zimbabwe's chase fell apart, Coventry resorted to desperate measures, swinging at the first three balls he faced from Junaid Khan. Two of them scored four runs each, while the third player hit the ball onto his own stumps. Elton Chigumbura managed to hit some powerful shots, but struggled against the bowling that was too good for him to hit for boundaries. Despite the pressure in the last over, Pakistan's bowlers remained composed. Taibu had to lead both Prosper Utseya and himself, but Sohail ultimately made the final impact. Zimbabwe showed improvement in their fielding, bowling accurately and taking all the catches to restrict Pakistan to under 150 runs. Taylor was creative in his bowling tactics, starting with a spinner and then bringing in Chibhabha in the third over. Chibhabha took a wicket when Asad Shafiq attempted to hit a length ball for six but was caught by Chigumbura at long-on. Shortly after, Rameez Raja was caught at short fine leg. Kyle Jarvis, who had improved his length from previous matches, got Raja out with a short ball that was pulled late and caught by Ray Price. The hosts added to Pakistan's early troubles when Shoaib Malik was caught behind off Chigumbura after attempting to hit a wide delivery. Hafeez took advantage of the situation and played a crucial innings, especially targeting the spinners. During Hafeez's time at the crease, Umar Akmal was able to play more cautiously, particularly against Chigumbura who bowled a well-controlled spell with slower balls. Eventually, Hafeez was dismissed by Price after attempting a lofted shot towards long-on that fell short of the boundary. Following Hafeez's dismissal, Pakistan struggled to score boundaries and only managed to score 36 runs in the last five overs. Akmal was run out while attempting a second run, falling short of his crease due to a throw from Chigumbura, and Tanvir was bowled by Jarvis. Jarvis performed well under pressure towards the end of the game, effectively utilizing yorkers, a type of delivery that he is honing to near perfection.
