Pakistan completed a series sweep of Zimbabwe in all three formats of the game, winning the second Twenty20 with a thrilling 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. Needing 20 runs off six balls, Taibu hit a six off the first ball and then ran well to leave himself needing six off the final delivery. Sohail Khan remained calm under pressure and bowled a wide low full toss outside off stump. Taibu retreated to the leg side and was unable to make a shot, resulting in an underwhelming conclusion to a chase that Zimbabwe allowed to become too difficult for them. Vusi Sibanda and Chamu Chibhabha started off well, with Sibanda hitting a beautiful straight drive for four. Despite scoring boundaries in the first four overs, they did not rotate the strike enough, causing the required run-rate to increase. Chibhabha attempted to free himself when Saeed Ajmal came on by trying to hit over long on, but was caught by Yasir Shah just outside the circle. Ajmal's first wicket maiden slowed down Zimbabwe's chase, which continued until the final over. Sibanda became increasingly frustrated and was caught by Hafeez at point while trying to make a big hit. Hafeez showed his skill with both bat and ball, bowling out Cephas Zhuwao with a straight delivery. He also took the wickets of Hamilton Maskadza, who gave him a catch in his follow through, and Brendan Taylor, caught by Misbah-ul-Haq at midwicket. As Zimbabwe's chase fell apart, Charles Coventry swung his bat at the first three deliveries from Junaid Khan. Two batsmen scored four runs each, while the third player accidentally hit the ball onto his stumps. Elton Chigumbura managed to hit some powerful shots, but struggled against the strong bowling. Despite the pressure, Pakistan's bowlers remained calm until the last over. Taibu had to lead both Prosper Utseya and himself, but Sohail ultimately made the decisive play. Zimbabwe showed improvement in fielding, bowling accurately, and catching well to restrict Pakistan to under 150 runs. Taylor made creative changes to his bowling lineup, starting with a spinner and then bringing in Chibhabha in the third over. Chibhabha quickly made an impact by taking a wicket when Asad Shafiq attempted a big shot and was caught by Chigumbura. Rameez Raja was also dismissed shortly after, caught at short fine leg. Kyle Jarvis, who had improved his bowling lengths from previous matches, got a wicket by delivering a short ball that Raja couldn't resist pulling and was caught by Ray Price. The hosts continued their early success by getting Shoaib Malik out caught behind off Chigumbura after he played at a wide delivery. Hafeez batted well against the spinners, allowing Umar Akmal to be cautious while facing Chigumbura's slower balls. However, Hafeez was eventually dismissed by Price after attempting to hit a six but falling short. Following Hafeez's departure, Pakistan's scoring rate slowed down significantly, with only 36 runs scored in the last five overs. Akmal was run out trying to take a second run, and Tanvir was bowled by Jarvis. Jarvis was consistent in the final overs and effectively utilized yorkers, a type of delivery he is very close to mastering.
