Yet again one would say, a better effort from the top order and the result could have been different. The likes of Ervine, Joylord Gumbie and Sikandar Raza failed to make an impact. It was the likes of Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brian Bennett and Faraz Akram who played decent innings but it was not enough. Credit to the three though, they kept Zimbabwe in the game. Especially Faraz Akram who revived hopes when it was all gone. He got it down till the last over but could not pull off a miracle.
