Muzarabani came back with numbers 5 for 49 in the home team’s run-chase, then took two more wickets in the super over where Pakistan could only manage two points

Chasing 279 for a win, Babar produced a captain’s round to mark his 12th century ODI, but was sent back to the 49th by a sharp rising Muzarabani ball to set up a thrilling finish
Pakistan seemed to have recovered from 3 to 20 and 6 to 151 when Babar appeared in a century stand with Wahab Riaz (52 of 56 balls) But Wahab dropped to 251 in the 47th and Pakistan lost two wickets in the penultimate to give Zimbabwe a rare victory
