Pakistan 5270 (81 Younis, Shafiq 51, Chigumbura 2-36) beat Zimbabwe 242 for 9 (Chibhabha 62, 59 Sibanda, Cheema 4-43) for 28 races

Middle-order crisis in Zimbabwe and the efforts engaged by Pakistan in the field saw them complete their rehabilitation to host ODI and test series, but in the end a good profit for the third and final game. It is a step batsmen-friendly, Pakistan ended up best score yet proved to be too in Zimbabwe, which has been given the chance to win the game with a great opening partnership, but could not finish the job.

Pakistan were aggressive at certain crucial moments with both bat and ball and showed the value of the experience of Zimbabwe against a lineup that is still finding its feet at the highest level. Khan Younis and beautifully crafted 81 Aizaz Cheema four main performance windows, but Zimbabwe can be proud of the fight they showed, with minimal damage after a start Pakitsan was lush and has over 240 against a top team level.

Zimbabwe openers, Vusi Sibanda and Chamu Chibhabha, has built a solid base, the addition of 110 together. The couple began with surveillance and the chase begins to gain ground in more than nine. Sohail Tanvir was Sibanda, hitting three boundaries, an aerial view of square leg, a look at the side of the legs and cut through the point. He managed to stay away from the fire shot, which cost him his ticket six times this summer.

Chibhabha who had not played in two previous games in the series, was more cautious and not risk hitting the big shot when it seemed certain that it would reach the limit. There was a sublime strokes through the covers and Aizaz Cheema player hoisted straight into the ground.

Spin was introduced in the 11th over in the form of Mohammad Hafeez, who was financially without being threatening. His partner round legspinner Yasir Shah, had to wait until 22 more than his debut, but began to encourage generous with flying and a couple of Google. Sibanda gifted him his maiden ODI wicket two overs later. Such as Zimbabwe opens brought his half-century and appears to be accelerating, he was caught long on ignorance, after Shah.

Brendan Taylor moved up to about 3, but only lasted 14 balls before being caught behind Chibhabha and died shortly afterwards in a soft dismissal, Younis taking gifts to cover. Tatenda Taibu and Hamilton Masakadza showed signs of stabilization of the innings, but dismissal Taibu, caught by Younis sports in deep waters has triggered a mini collapse as Zimbabwe lost four wickets for 32 runs. Masakadza fell to a slower ball Sohail Khan, a sweater and untimely Chigubura Waller has been cleaned by a special Cheema, leaving the Zimbabwe batsmen without recognition. Cheema continued its impressive series of this series, bowling and in times of death of the game to end the career best figures of 4 for 43rd

Zimbabwe Spinners and Elton Chigumbura did well to hold Pakistan to 270 after it looked like a score of 300 in sight. In the absence of paceman Chris Mpofu high, Zimbabwe seamer inexperience has been exposed and Brian Jarvis and Kyle Vitor served a variety of short and wide deliveries with Vitor sometimes go too far on the side of the leg.

It took three reports of the couple to find the right length, which was very brief on this surface, but any small deviation was punished, as Jarvis found out when upset over a length of Imran Farhat, who shot to break his point. Reward came when Vitor unexpectedly hit a shorter and has some extra bounce, which surprised Hafeez, who shot to deep midwicket Waller.

Chigumbura and Asad Shafiq prices linked Khan Younis and down and dragged along the rate of just over five years. Chigumbura was particularly impressive, which is the length from the start and Farhat committed before the temptation of driving with a fuller delivery, slower than the first game was played into the hands of Chamu Chibhabha cover.

Younis was not so easily tempted. He was happy to see the ball good length and attack anything overpitched or foot, bringing his fifty with a lovely shot down on the lid further. Asad struggled against some tight bowling early in his innings, but Younis helped him find his rhythm, and the couple began to turn the strike well.

Zimbabwe made a show Gardeners mixed savings limits, leaving the others through the catch and take a little while unlikely to drop further. Shafiq was perplexed after work smart by Taibu who collected the ball on the rebound of his own chest to remove deposits and Shoaib Malik, who returned to play an authority innings since he made his return, a masterfully captured Chigumbura, in monitoring.

Younis looked set for one hundred, but was also taken in an impressive way when the bag Jarvis return catch after induction training. With wickets in hand in the last 10 acquisitions such as Pakistan Adnan Akmal and Misbah-ul-Haq to start, but the couple have added only 55 runs together. Finally it proved to be more than enough.
