RAWALPINDI, Nov 08 (AFP): Leg-spinner Usman Qadir and paceman Haris Rauf grabbed three wickets apiece as Pakistan kept Zimbabwe down to a paltry 134-7 in the second Twenty20 international in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
Trailing 1-0 after Saturday's six-wicket defeat, Zimbabwe lost wickets at regular intervals as Usman finished with figures of 3-23 and Rauf 3-31 after the tourists were sent in to bat.
Ryan Burl (32 not out) and Wesley Madhevere (24) were the main scorers, with Burl sending the last ball of the innings for a big six.
Rauf, who came into prominence with 20 wickets in last year's Big Bash in Australia, removed Brendon Taylor (three) and skipper Chamu Chibhabha (15) in successive overs.
Usman, son of the late legendary Pakistan spinner Abdul Qadir, chipped in with the wickets of Madhevere, Sikandar Raza (seven) and Elton Chigumbura (18) to further derail Zimbabwe.
