Scorecard

Charles Coventry produced an extraordinary unbeaten 102 from 108 balls to rescue Zimbabwe A from a shaky start, as they recovered to beat their Pakistani counterparts by 51 runs at Harare. Coventry came to the crease at 54 for 4, after a middle-order collapse of 4 for 24 had left Zimbabwe reeling.

But, with Stuart Matsikenyeri hanging in for a gritty 55 from 89 balls, Coventry began to turn the innings around. The pair added 68 for the fifth wicket, and then - after another flurry of wickets - Blessing Mahwire dug in for an impressive 41, before falling to the final ball of innings, having added 102 for the seventh wicket.

Pakistan's reply never got off the ground. They were 50 for 5 and then 88 for 6, and though the lower order attempted to regroup, Mahwire was on target with the ball as well, ripping out three wickets for 44. Mohammad Khalil gave Zimbabwe a late alarm by clubbing four sixes in his 39, but that was the highest score of the Pakistani innings.
