The Pakistan Under-19 team added another title to its growing list of achievements on Tuesday, defeating hosts Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the final of the Under-19 tri-nation ODI series. Batting first after Pakistan opted to field, Zimbabwe Under-19 were bowled out for 158 in 44.4 overs. The hosts suffered an early collapse as Pakistan pacer Umar Zaib dismantled the top order, reducing Zimbabwe to five wickets for just 15 runs. For Pakistan, Umar Zaib claimed four wickets, Abdul Subhan took two, while Muhammad Siyam, Daniyal Ali Khan and Ahmed Hussain picked up one wicket each. The emphatic victory capped a successful tour for Pakistan, who recently won the Under-19 Asia Cup, underlining their dominance at the youth level.
