That ends our coverage of the first T20. There's one more to go, and that's the very last chance for Zimbabwe to salvage something from this series. On behalf of the gang here, cheers and goodbye from Nitin Sundar. Bye!
Presentation time:
Hafeez is Man of the Match. Shock. Horror. "I was just doing the basics right, and it worked for me. I had a very good series in New Zealand in tough conditions. That confidence helped me."
Misbah: "Everyone is taking up their responsibility. Especially Hafeez, the way he's gone. Asad Shafiq too played very well. We just wanted the top order to play normal cricketing shot, and that's just what they did. The credit for the fielding goes to both coaches. Everyone understands how important this aspect of the game is these days, and the boys have worked hard to get to this level."
Pommie Mbangwa doesn't call upon Brendan Taylor for his quotes. Wonder if the captain even turned up for the presentation. Unfortunately, his team did not turn up for this match.
85 run win for Pakistan. In T20 parlance, this is a mauling. Zimbabwe will look back at their decision to play just three bowlers, but really they were just utterly shabby in the middle today. Pakistan were just the opposite, and this emphatic result, in the most unpredictable format of the game, shows how much behind the eight-ball Zimbabwe really are.
