Al Jazeera
Pakistan wins by 10 wickets to take a 2-0 lead with one match to play in the three-game series.
Pakistan wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem has starred in a series-clinching, 10-wicket Twenty20 international rout of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.
The 25-year-old took five consecutive wickets for the loss of only three runs as Zimbabwe crumbled to 57 all out in 12.4 overs after making a promising start on Tuesday.
Pakistan then sped to 61-0 off 33 balls through Saim Ayub (36) and Omair Yousuf (22) to follow up a 57-run victory on Sunday in the first of three matches.
The dominant victory completed a white-ball double for the tourists, who won a one-day international series 2-1 last week.
Pakistan captain Salman Agha said: “Losing the toss did not concern us because we had plans and executed them really well. The bowling of Sufiyan was outstanding.
