Wahab Riaz spoke in fluent English. This is bigger than the World Cup.
— Trendulkar (@Trendulkar) March 1, 2015

It's over! A run out and a caught behind. Wahab Riaz ends with 4-45! Pakistan win by 20 runs..

24 needed off last 5.

Md Irfan to bowl! His last over..

28 off last 13. Panyangara will be on strike.. Zim need a miracle. Lucky to drag this one so far.

Misbah always happy with a dot. #PakvsZim

first real mistake this whole bowling innings. saving that final over from Irfan. Clarke-esque, except Sohail aint no Johnson

Every ball Afridi gets past the bat makes me weep for Yasir #CWC15
— Daniel Brettig (@danbrettig) March 1, 2015

Maiden over! Afridi very unlucky not to clean up Panyangara there. beat the bat a number of times..

Afridi won't be happy getting a duck earlier. Mind you, he's used to not adding to the total on his birthday. #PAKvZIM

Trying to think of a Pak cricketer who has regressed as much as Nasir Jamshed as, as quickly as he has.

34 needed from 24 deliveries. Afridi bowling his last over.

Chigumbura on one leg is running faster than Inzamam-Ul-Haq. #PakvsZim
— Psycho (@i_Psycho) March 1, 2015

Stitching together a neat little partnership. Chigumbura, injured during the first innings, batting on one foot literally. 195-8 in 44.5 overs.

A fresh of breath air says Rameez. He really is the Man of the Player.

Last PAK pacer before Riaz to score 50 & take 3 wkts in an ODI was Abdul Razzaq, way back in 2005 vs Aus at Perth. Ah, good old days! #cwc15

Sarfaraz Ahmed is an accomplished keeper, scored at average of 35 at run a ball during 2014 so lets drop him during the World Cup- Pakistan

*Heavy appeals for a nick* Misbah runs in to check Akmal: "Sorry bhaijaan, catch pakad li toh excited ho gaya tha, don't review" #PakVZIM

I feel like I have been listening to Rambo for longer than the duration of the match
— cornerd (@cornerd) March 1, 2015

@OsmanSamiuddin Pakistan's selection processes are as wacky as England's. What a game that would be...
— Lawrence Booth (@the_topspin) March 1, 2015

"He's had a good day behind the stumps!" Is Ramiz even watching the game?! #PAKvZIM

Come on team Green .
— Wasim Akram (@wasimakramlive) March 1, 2015

This is truly pretty sad. Zimbabwe have gone from a winning position to needing their captain to bat basically on one leg. #cwc15
— Firdose Moonda (@FirdoseM) March 1, 2015

168/8 in 39.4 overs!

Pakistan are doing it easily now. Two wickets in the same over for Riaz..

has shehzad actually gone mad in the middle of a cricket match? like clinically insane?
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) March 1, 2015

166-6 in 36.5 overs!

Irfan strikes again! Mire sent back after edging an off-cutter to the keeper.

two of three balls after a slip is taken are legside half volleys. it's amazing that Pakistan could win this after so much incompetence.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) March 1, 2015

Now Misbah put slip in. This like closing stable door after your buffalo already run off with neighbour donkey. #PakvsZim
— Nasir Jamshed (@NasirJamshed_) March 1, 2015

Irfan's second spell the key!

Williams gone! Soft dismissal. Cuts one straight to the fielder at point. MATCH ON! 150-5 in 33.2 overs.

Third consecutive match Ukmal has dropped one off Afridi, who is still wicketless in this tournament.
— karachikhatmal (@karachikhatmal) March 1, 2015

Dropped! Umar Akmal.. Ervine survives.. Afridi deprived of a wicket..

Hello Indians. Thankyou for your humor. Cricket aside.

Hope there is enough security at Lahore airport.
— Trendulkar (@Trendulkar) March 1, 2015

such a chay team. just when everyone had reached the acceptance stage of grief they get a wicket. bhai sonay do.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) March 1, 2015

Big wicket! Not a great ball from Riaz, but Pakistan will take it. Caught behind leg side! Taylor makes a long walk back!

50 for Brendan Taylor off 69 deliveries! 128-3 in 29 overs..

Zim run rate when MAsakdza got out: 3.49. Zim run rate now 4.20. all it took was 20 balls - Irfan getting excited, Afridi... well.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) March 1, 2015

What an incomprehensible few minutes giving all the initiative back. Right after a partnership breaker.
— M Qazi (@MQazi_) March 1, 2015

Fantastic counterattack from Williams and Taylor. 33 runs off 4 overs since the fall of the wicket. #CWC15
— Michael Wagener (@Mykuhl) March 1, 2015

Irfan has been outstanding. Almost unplayable. But he has just 21 balls left. What after that? #PakvsZim #CWC15
— Dileep Premachandran (@SpiceBoxofEarth) March 1, 2015

15 runs off Irfan's over! Zim are turning it around. 98-3 in 24 overs. Taylor and Williams look in great touch.

3 boundaries gets back the initiative! Afridi looks seriously out of sorts. It has been a one man show so far from Md Irfan - 6.2-2-12-3!
