Pakistan wins second T20 in a hairline finish


The second Twenty20 match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe was a real thriller at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore as Pakistan had in the last over a large target to chase.

But the bowler Bilawal Bhatti was there to save Pakistan from a possible defeat as he hit a six, a double and a four in the first three balls of the last over to bring Pakistan to victory in a hairline finish.

Pakistan won the match with two balls still remaining.

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat and scored 175 for 3 (Williams 58*, Sibanda 49). Chasing the target Pakistan made 176 for 8 (Mukhtar 62, Akmal 30, Mpofu 2-25) to win the match and the series.

Pakistan's Mukhtar Ahmed, who scored a fiery innings of 62 runs, was declared the "man of the match" award.

Pakistan will now play three One-Day Internationals against Zimbabwe.
