Impressive win by Zimbabwe. Just shows when there is some juice in the pitch instead of a flat deck, any team can pull of a win.

I dunno if I am exaggerating, but Raza is the type of a captain a team like Pakistan needs. He does not care where the opponent is ranked - he does not give rat's rare whether he is playing against #2 ranked team in Asia or world, he claims that he wants to beat the opponent - period!

That is the attitude needed to win from a Pakistan captain - instead of being in an awe, and in some particular instances, revering the opposition , have guts to smack the opposition down.

Wow!

Zimbabwe completely crushed SL.

Series is now wide open.

They dropped catch and numerous time they didnt field well.

So...Pakistan, and many other teams have lost games due to dropped catches. All it means that the team which dropped and lost was not good enough to win.

Zimbabwe looks a better team than Sri Lanka (bowling apart from Hasaranga is quite inept)
