Pakistan beat Zimbabwe in the first T20 at Lahore

The first encounter between the visiting cricket team from Zimbabwe ended into a victory for hosts Pakistan in a jam packed Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Friday.

Zimbabwe scored 172/6 in twenty overs.Coming to bat Pakistan reached the target in 19.3 overs with five wickets down.

The victory seemed far away for Pakistan as it needed four runs from four balls at the close of the play - the victory could go either side. But the victory finally went to the hosts with Afridi at crease.

Elton Chigumbura from Zimbabwe scored highest for his team before he was bowled by Wahaab Riaz for 54. Mukhtar Ahmed scored a  brilliant 83 with twelve fours and three sixes before being caught by Richmond Mutumbami of Graeme Cremer's ball.
