In a sensational turn of events, Zimbabwe tailenders clinched a narrow 2-wicket victory over Pakistan in the third and final T20I of the bilateral tour. Despite the top order failing, debutant Tinotenda Maposa scored 11 runs in the final over to help his team cross the finish line. Meanwhile, cricket fans mercilessly trolled the men in green for the upsetting loss.

Pakistan, having already sealed the 3-game series with a 2-0 lead, entered the third T20I with a lot of confidence. However, the batters couldn’t post a winning total batting first. Lack of intent and game awareness led to a mediocre total of 132/7.

In response, Zimbabwe had a great start with a 56-run powerplay. Still, the match went down to the wire, with Abbas Afridi picking 2 wickets in quick succession. With 12 runs needed off 6 balls, debutant Tinotenda Maposa stepped up to slam a boundary, followed by a maximum off Jahandad Khan’s final over. Richard Ngarava scored the winning single to secure a nail-biting 2-wicket victory for Zimbabwe. 

Pakistan crickets turns laughing stock after shocking defeat vs Zimbabwe 

That being said, the stage was set for Pakistan to clinch a whitewash. But the inexperienced team choked under pressure. Naturally, the fan reaction was critical. Cricket fans on the internet mercilessly trolled Pakistan cricket, suggesting that they continue to stoop to a new low every game. 

Some made memes on Babar Azam, who was rested for the series. Babar’s records against Zimbabwe have been exceptional, but given his workload issue, PCB rested him for this bilateral series.






Notably, this isn’t the first time Pakistan lost to associate nation Zimbabwe. In the same tour, Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by a mega 80-run margin in the first ODI of the 3-game series. This is twice in a row that Pakistan failed to clean sweep the host.
