165 ..30 runs beyond our reach .. would have been comfortable if we restrcited them to maximum 150

Harsh to say this is a bad bowling performance. 2 of the best batsmen in the world and both in amazing form. Looks like a much better batting pitch. Fielding has been very good again
This forum seems to be the 'Home of Zimbabwe Cricket Critics' also hey. Like how can one call Jongwe's bowling shit today. smh

Jongwe with a good final over, Blessing fucked it in the 19th though. It's gonna take some work chasing this thing, a BT special would be nice to have (or a Wes Madhevere special!)

We don't deserve to win T20 games against top sides if we can't chase scores larger than 150... Fact

We bowled OK. Fair play to Pakistan, their running between the wickets was outstanding.

We have some really quick fielders with excellent arms, better than we have had for a while.

I think the criticism Ngarava is getting here isn't warranted. When he played that T20 series in Bangladesh back in 2018 I was really underwhelmed with how he looked. Not the same bowler now though. He's clearly got a better degree of accuracy and I think he's added a yard too.

Jongwe taking another 3 wickets, good for him.
He's been a revelation this series with the ball and he's contributed nicely with the bat too

Harare sports club is quite big isn't it? Is 160 there like 170-175 on a smaller UK, Indian or UAE ground.

Yea when I last went I couldn't believe the size of the place. This is going to be a big ask

This bowling attack is worth persisting with in T20s.

All are under 28 with good variation. Would be great to find a spinner to replace Masakadza but he does bring a lot in the field. There appears to be a bit more of a plan about the bowling compared to previous series.
