Pakistan beat Zimbabwe by 13 runs in the 1st T20

It's over! Zimbabwe come close yet again, but can't get over the finishing line. Pakistan win by 13 runs.

15 from 3 now! Utseya on strike.

Oh it's a run out! Zimbabwe's hopes are literally gone. Chigumbura is the man to depart.

Excellent over from Tanveer. Zimbabwe need 16 from the last over. Pakistan will fancy their chances.

Takes a single! Zimbabwe are still hanging. Need 26 from the last 2 overs.

A lucky boundary, but Zimbabwe will take it. But how much more can Chigumbura get?

100 up for Zimbabwe. They need 37 from the last 3.

Zimbabwe are crumbling here. Two wickets in the same over.

So Zimbabwe exactly need 50 runs from the last 5 overs.

Got to say that the Pakistani fielding has been very good today.

Gone! Mutumbami is run out! Zimbabwe need another 60 from 40 balls. Looks tough at the moment.

Mutumbami hits a cracking drive off Afridi. Need more of those to get near the target.

Imad Wasim ends his spell with 4 wickets for just 11 runs. #game_changer

Oh but he is gone the very next over. This is probably Zimbabwe's biggest blow.

Terrific shot from Sean Williams straight down the ground. Much needed boundary.

Guess what? He has picked another wicket! Masakadza has thrown it away. Trouble for Zimbabwe! 60 for 4 now.

Imad Wasim strikes again! Zimbabwe lose their 3rd here.

Mazakadza and Raza are fighting back here. The run rate goes above six.

And Tanvir strikes! Pakistan have the upper hand here.

Sedate start from Zimbabwe. 27 for 1 in 5 overs.

And what a start! Chibhabha is gone! Bowled! The move works. Sikandar Raza comes out.

Spin straightaway from Pakistan.

Another wicket to end the innings. Excellent effort by Zimbabwe. They now need 137 to win the game.

And he is gone! And it took a special catch to remove the dangerman.

Imad Wasim is gone! Afridi has finally come out to bat. But is it too late? Pakistan only have one over.

He has been struggling all day but finally gets one off the middle. A huge six for Rizwan.

Zimbabwe almost have their 6th. Great effort from Chibhabha.

Pakistan have sprung a surprise by sending out Imad Wasim ahead of skipper Shahid Afridi.

Gone! Malik's stumps pegged back by Sean Williams. Pakistan are 87 for 5.

Huge wicket! Umar Akmal goes for the big one and is caught in the deep! Zimbabwe once again with the upper hand.

Shoaib Malik shows some intent against the spinner as he launches a six straight down the ground.

Umar Akmal comes in and first ball he hits a boundary.

Zimbabwe are all over Pakistan here. They lose their 3rd wicket.

OUT! Mukhtar Ahmed skies Chibhabha's delivery and departs for 4. Pakistan 25/2 after 4 overs

OUT! Chibhabha gets Ahmed Shehzad for 17. Pakistan 21/1 after 3.4 overs
