Heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, has disrupted Pakistan's pursuit of Zimbabwe's 205 all out during the first One Day International (ODI) at Queens Sports Club. By 3:40 PM, the weather showed no signs of improvement, leaving the match poised to be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) Method.
At the time of the interruption, Pakistan was struggling at 60/6 after 21 overs, significantly trailing the DLS par score of 141. If the weather prevents further play, Zimbabwe will secure a dramatic win and take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The home side had earlier posted a modest total of 205, with standout performances from their middle order and a disciplined bowling display keeping Pakistan under pressure. Zimbabwe's bowlers capitalized on the conditions, reducing the visitors to a precarious position before the heavens opened.
Queens Sports Club lacks floodlights, making an extended delay almost certain to result in the match being called off.
Fans will be keenly watching for updates as Zimbabwe edges closer to a memorable victory over the subcontinental powerhouse.
