World Cup 2015: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe scoreboard, Match 23

Brisbane: Scoreboard of Pakistan vs Zimbabwe Group B, 23rd Match of the ICC World Cup 2015 played at the Gabba here Sunday.

Mohammad Irfan used his height to full effect to take four wickets as Pakistan defended a low total against Zimbabwe to get its World Cup campaign back on track with a 20-run victory on Sunday.

The gamble to drop experienced batsman Younis Khan in favor of Rahat Ali to bolster the bowling attack paid off on the fast, bouncy wicket at the Gabba , after coming under question when Pakistan was restricted in 235-7 after winning the toss and batting. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (73) and Wahab Riaz (54 not out) ensured a 200-plus total.
