Pakistan made light work of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo to win their one-day international series 3-0.

Faheem Ashraf took his maiden international five-wicket haul as Zimbabwe were skittled out for just 67.

Chamu Chibhabha top-scored with 16, one of only three batsmen to reach double figures, before being dismissed lbw by Ashraf who took five for 22.

The hosts at last had something to cheer about when Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq was caught off the bowling of Blessing Muzarabani from the first ball of their reply – but any joy was short-lived as Pakistan eased to their target inside 10 overs.

Fakhar Zaman led the way with an unbeaten 43 and Babar Azam was 19 not out as Pakistan won by nine wickets to clinch the series with two games remaining. It was their second straight win by the same margin, having won the first match by 201 runs.
