Worst collapse In T20Is: Zimbabwe lose 10 for 20 against Pakistan, Sufyan Moqim Creates History

Zimbabwe were bowled out for 57 in 12.4 overs in the second T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan.

Brian Bennett (21 in 14 balls) and Tadiwanashe Marumani (16 in 14) got Zimbabwe off to a reasonable start, adding 37 in 4.3 overs. However, once Abbas Afridi (2-2) claimed Marumani, the rest of the team simply caved in against left-arm wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem, whose 2.4-0-3-5 are now the best figures for Pakistan in men’s T20Is.

It took Zimbabwe 40 minutes to lose their 10 wickets. Barring the openers, Clive Madande (9) was the only other Zimbabwe batter to score more than three runs as they imploded to their lowest ever total in the format. Their previous lowest of 82 had come against Sri Lanka at the Premadasa Stadium earlier this year.

Zimbabwe lost their 10 wickets for 20 runs, making it the worst 10-wicket collapse in Full Member men’s T20Is.

Sufyan Moqim creates History

Sufiyah Muqeem rewrites history books in his own style, as the Pakistan spinner now holds the record for the best-ever figures recorded in a T20I match by a Pakistani bowler, surpassing Umar Gul’s 5/6 against New Zealand in 2009.
