Full commentary
A hapless Zimbabwe side ran into red-hot Pakistan in the third ODI in Bulawayo, turning in a performance that made the first two games look like heroic over-achievement.
Hamilton Masakadza: It was a bit of a disaster straight up. We just tell the guys to stay positive and try to rectify the wrongs done today. It's not easy to come back, though. We need more application. Soft dismissals and technical errors to go with it. Hopefully, we come out firing next game.
Sarfraz Ahmed: First of all, a great performance. Ashraf and Junaid bowl well but we can do with tough matches. Ashraf getting better day by day and is he an allrounder and we need him. We will try to give opportunities to the other players in the next two games.
Faheem Ashraf is the Player of the Match
Well, that escalated quickly and I'm not complaining. Goodbye for now.
