Misbah's execution was a lesson to the next batsmen on the best way to battle the conditions. With the ball swinging liberally both noticeable all around and off the crease, strokemaking was attritional however he weathered the storm and held firm to give his bowlers a focus to bowl to.
Prior, in brilliant and hot conditions, Pakistan decided to bat and had an awful begin with the openers withdrawing inexpensively once more. Tendai Chatara was the wrecker-in-boss when he struck in his first over. Nasir Jamshed, who had scores of 2,30,0 and 0 in his past four ODIs, by and by tumbled to a poor stroke as he tamely pulled a short ball straight to Sikandar Raza at square leg to leave for 1. In Chatara's next over, he got Ahmed Shehzad with a conveyance that straightened only outside off and the batsman jabbed it to the guardian to withdraw for a 10-ball duck.
Both Sohail and Misbah locked in and made moderate advancement.

Umar Akmal arrived and the scoring rate revived. He frequently turned the strikes and assaulted when the opportunity was displayed.
Zimbabwe had a cheeky minute in the 24th over when Misbah drove Tawanda Mupariwa to additional spread. Elton Chigumbura, the Zimbabwe captain, gave pursue and readied to plunge to make history the ball back in yet his knee jolted into the turf and he was in torment. He was warily aided off the field and outputs uncovered that there was a conceivable quadricep tear and he will bat if needed.
The association in the middle of Akmal and Misbah undermined to detract the amusement from Zimbabwe. Misbah scored up his 40th ODI fifty and he looked great to score his lady ODI century however Sean williams changed the amusement in the 34th over. He cleaned up Akmal (33) with a conveyance that was calculated in and it grasped the surface to turn away to hit the highest point of off stump. Enter the evergreen 35-year-old Shahid Afridi. It was his birthday and Pakistan fans expected that he would bash the Zimbabwe bowlers away. Be that as it may, Williams cleared the candles out and played the gathering poopers part superbly when he bowled Afridi with a comparative conveyance to the particular case that represented Akmal. It was Afridi's first duck in World Cups and it was his 30th in ODIs, the second-most by a batsman behind Sanath Jayasuriya's count of 34.
Pakistan scored just 27 runs in the batting Powerplay and they were shocked further when Misbah holed out to long-on to leave for 73. Zimbabwe's passing rocking the bowling alley, which was taken to the cleaners amid the recreations against South Africa and West Indies, put in a superior show. Notwithstanding, Wahab Riaz kept it together and struck some hearty blows towards the end. He additionally profited from some messy fielding. Zimbabwe missed two run-out chances off him and Riaz was additionally dropped on 41 by Stuart Matsikenyeri as he indented up his lady ODI fifty.
