Pak beats Zim by 108 runs in final ODI to wrap up series

Pakistan has beaten Zimbabwe by 108 runs in the final one-day international to seal a 2-1 series victory in Harare.

According to The Express Tribune, as Zimbabwe geared up to chase a formidable target of 261, their openers failed to establish the kind of platform their team needed for a successful chase.

Mohammad Hafeez, Abdur Rehman and Saeed Ajmal bagged two wickets each whereas Afridi claimed one while three of Zimbabwe's batsmen ran themselves out, the report said.

Earlier, steady half-centuries from Misbah-ul-Haq and Ahmed Shehzad allowed Pakistan to apply a late flourish and reach a competitive score, the report added.
