Kamran Ghulam’s maiden ODI century for Pakistan led them to a 99-run win over Zimbabwe on Thursday and victory in the three-match series.

Kamran scored 103 as Pakistan chose to bat first and put up a formidable total of 303 with Zimbabwe scoring 204 in reply.

All Pakistan’s batters got off to good starts with Abdullah Shafique contributing 50 but it was wayward bowling in the last five overs that saw Pakistan add 69 runs to take their tally over 300.

Captain Craig Ervine scored 51 in Zimbabwe’s reply but they were never in touch with the required run rate and were eventually bowled out in 40.1 overs.

Zimbabwe won the opening ODI by 80 runs on the DLS method in a surprise start to the series but Pakistan dominated to win the second game by 10 wickets and level the series, with all the matches played in Bulawayo.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.
