Imad Wasim's four-wicket haul helped Pakistan claim a 13-run win over Zimbabwe in the first Twenty20 internationals at Harare Sports Club on Sunday.
Replying to Pakistan's target of 137 runs for eight wickets, Zimbabwe could only score 123 runs within their allotted overs.
Skipper Elton Chigumbura and opener Hamilton Masakadza scored 31 and 25 respectively for their side.
Besides Wasim, Sohail Tanvir and Wahab Riaz also took a wicket each for Pakistan.
Earlier, Shoaib Malik (35) and Mohammad Rizwan (33) provided substantial support to accelerate their innings.
Wasim was adjudged 'player of the match' for his brilliant performance.
The two sides will now play their next T20 match on September 29.
