BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe (AP) — Pakistan won the toss and advanced to their third and final one-day international against Zimbabwe on Wednesday.

Pakistan bounced back from a shocking defeat in the rain-soaked first game with a 10-wicket win in the second game following a maiden ODI century from Saim Ayub.

The tourists retained the same winning combination with Faisal Akram, Abrar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha as three spin options.

Ahmed and Salman tore through Zimbabwe’s batting line-up in the second game, sharing seven wickets between them, with leg-spinner Abrar taking 4-33 on his debut ODI.

Zimbabwe brought in wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande and fast bowling all-rounder Faraz Akram in place of Brandon Mavuta and Trevor Gwandu for their first game of the series.

The ODI series will be followed by a three-match Twenty20 series starting in Bulawayo from Sunday.
