    I'm a little bit speechless. I am in awe listening to you talk about the game.

    It is an enormous win for Zimbabwe and amazing in the context of this World Cup.

    I just think back to when they beat Australia in an ODI earlier in the year. They are a team with such talent and promise.

    What a night for Zimbabwe cricket.

    Be honest, who saw that coming when Zimbabwe posted 130-8?!

    Not me, that's for sure! The Zimbabwe bowlers were brilliant with Ngarava, Muzarabani and Evans the real standouts. Raza, too.

    What a way to win it as well. Hearts must have been in mouths when Chakabva fumbled the throw but he got there in the end. A famous, famous win for Zimbabwe.

    Delight for Zimbabwe. Pakistan just couldn't score the runs required.

    Zimbabwe players have come from everywhere.

    It is a World Cup of upsets.

    WICKET - Zimbabwe win by one runpublished at 20 overs

    Pak 129-8

    Incredible! Zimbabwe have done it!

    Shaheen Afridi thumped it back down the ground towards mid-on. The fielder collected it cleanly though and got the throw away, back towards the wicketkeeper.

    It should have been a simple take and break the stumps but Chakabva fumbles it before getting it back in his gloves and taking the bails.

    What a win for Zimbabwe!

    Shaheen Afridi comes in with three needed from the last ball.

    That is a gusty piece of bowling from Brad Evans. It is a tough shot over mid-off at that length.

    That is a simple enough catch.

    What a moment that is for Craig Ervine.

    Caught at mid-off! Would you believe it?!

    Nawaz tried to smash it back over the top but didn't get enough on it. Zimbabwe are still alive in this match.

    This is remarkable!

  9. Pak 128-6published at 19.4 overs

    Need three from two balls

    Very quick short ball from Evans - and Nawaz swings himself off his feet but misses it!

    Dot ball!

    Anyone for a Super Over?

  10. Pak 128-6published at 19.3 overs

    Need three from three balls

    Flat-batted back towards the bowler. A very tough chance, if it was a chance at all.

    Just a single in the end.

    That is a huge boundary for Pakistan. Brad Evans just missed with the slower ball.

    That is an almighty shot. That is a big step towards victory.

  13. Pak 127-6published at 19.2 overs

    Need four from four balls

    Pakistan are almost there! Slower ball from Evans, Wasim picked it and thumps it back over the top.

    One bounce for four! Pakistan are one shot away.

  14. Pak 123-6published at 19.1 overs

    Need eight from five balls

    Smeared over extra cover by Nawaz and it looked to be four. However, the fielder sprints after it and flicks it back just in time.

    A run saved. Wasim on strike.

  15. Pak 120-6published at 19 overs

    Target 131

    Wasim steps well across his stumps but Ngarava nails his wide yorker. A precious, precious dot ball for Zimbabwe.

    Pakistan need 11 from six balls to win. Brad Evans will bowl the last over...

  16. Pak 120-6published at 18.5 overs

    Target 131

    Just a single. Flicked leg side and despite a wild throw in from the deep, Pakistan settle for one.

    It's down to 11 from seven balls now. Big delivery coming up.

    That is an enormous shot. He was under so much pressure after what happened against India but he's suddenly given Pakistan life again.

    He was trying to bowl the leg-stump yorker so he could only hit it to a fielder but he just missed unfortunately.

    Target 131

    Smashed! A horrible full toss on leg stump from Ngarava and Nawaz clatters it over deep backward square for a big, big six! Massive for Pakistan.

    Pakistan need 12 from eight balls.

    Hit down the ground but more up than out from Nawaz.

    The ball lands safely though and they scramble back for two.
