Zimbabwe Board XI may have had the upper hand for most of this match, but Pakistan Academy put in a dominant performance on the final day to secure a 4-wicket win and with it an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

Board XI started well on Day One, scoring 300/6, led by 91 from new boy Tafadzwa Ngulube. The resumption of play on Day Two saw the first worrying signs, though, as Pakistan were able to bowl out the remainder of the Zimbabwean batsmen with just 25 more runs scored. Mohammad Talha was the pick of the visiting bowlers, taking 4/89. In reply, Pakistan picked up 366, with Cremer (4/83) and Garwe (2/78) making sure the visitors were kept within sight. Fawad Alam's 101 was the best score for PCA.

Board XI's second innings got off to a promising start, too, with the side working their way to 201/3 before bad light stopped play on Day Three. The next morning saw a repeat of the first innings though, with Pakistan making early headway and eventually bowling Zimbabwe out for 304, leaving a target of 266 for the visitors to chase. With Zimbabwe's bowlers showing poor form, and captain Khurram Manzoor reaching 115, it turned out to be an easy target to reach. Prince Masvaure was the best of Zim's bowlers, but was only able to contribute 2/30.
