Misbah takes Pakistan to a competitive total

HARARE: Misbah ul Haq once again led from the front to take Pakistan to 260 against Zimbabwe in the 3rd ODI against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club.

Misbah was the mainstay of the batting as usual scoring 67 off 85 balls with 6 fours. Ahmed Shehzad was cautious, a bit too much at times scoring 54 off 85 balls with only 3 fours.

Umar Amin 33 off 25 balls and Sarfraz Ahmed 22 off 13 balls tried to accelerate towards the end.

Mohammad Hafeez who had retired hurt earlier with a hamstring injury, came to bat again after Sarfraz’s dismissal and took the total to 260 for the loss of 6 wickets.

TL Chatara was the pick of the Zimbabwe attack picking up 3-48.

Zimbabwe need 261 to win the match and the series.
