ZIM Vs PAK, 3rd T20I: Debutant Tinotenda Maposa Earns Zimbabwe Two-Wicket Win Over Pakistan

Young all-rounder Tinotenda Maposa made a memorable T20I debut and earned Zimbabwe a sensational two-wicket consolation win over Pakistan in the third and final game of the series on Thursday (December 5, 2024). Zimbabwe's batters stumbled for the third successive time in the series and were in danger of a clean sweep before 21-year-old Maposa smashed left-arm fast bowler Jahandad Khan for a four and a six in the final over as the home team reached 133-8 with a ball to spare. Maposa remained unbeaten on 12 off 4 fours. Pakistan claimed the series 2-1.
