Pakistan and Zimbabwe have clashed with each other in the 2nd Test match at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. The skipper of the side, Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat first. Zimbabwe removed Imran Butt early in the innings.

But Abid Ali and Azhar Ali showed their class and dominated the opposition bowling alley all-around the park. Both of them played really well and added 236 runs for the second wicket partnership before Azhar Ali fell to Blessing Muzarabani on 126.

A over later, Babar Azam followed him with a single-digit number. After that, the middle-order and lower order struggled to score runs against the Zimbabwe bowlers. But Abid Ali stood strong on the other end and continued his flow with the willow.

The Nauman Ali joined with him and played a crucial knock with him. Both the batsmen aggregate 169 runs for the 8th wicket partnership. Unfortunately, Nauman Ali missed his maiden ton by just 3 runs as he was cheekily stumped by Regis Chakabwa in the spell of Tendai Chisoro.
