Zimbabwe vs Pakistan, 5th ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Hasan Ali to Masakadza, out Bowled!! That's an absolute peach from Hasan Ali. Now, both openers are back into the hut. Guess what, Hasan doesn't celebrate. He almost injured while he tried to. So, there's Shadab Khan - his team-mate - who does his celebratory move. The pump and then arms aloft. Now let's talk about the ball. Angled in a good length ball that pitched on middle and straightened a tad after pitching. Masakadza thought he had the line covered. But the white ball had other ideas.
