RAWALPINDI (Pakistan): Pakistan beat Zimbabwe in the second Twenty20 international by eight wickets on Sunday to win the three-match series.
Skipper Babar Azam (51) and 20-year-old Haider Ali (66 not out) contributed largely as the hosts made short work of a modest 135-run target with 29 balls to spare.
Zimbabwe were put in to bat and never recovered from early strikes by paceman Haris Rauf (3-31) and spinner Usman Qadir (3-23) as they were restricted to 134-7 in 20 overs.
Haider, playing only his third international match, cracked three sixes and six boundaries in a 43-ball knock and was declared man of the match.
Azam, ranked second in the world T20 batting rankings, smashed eight fours and a six off just 28 balls, the fastest of his 16 T20 international fifties.
