Harare, May 6 : After beating Zimbabwe by an innings and 116 runs in the first Test, Pakistan will look to sweep the two-Test series with another win in the second Test that begins at the Harare Sports Club on Friday.
While the T20 International series was very closely fought with the visitors winning the series 2-1 in Harare, the Test series showed a gulf in the class between the two sides.
Pakistan dismissed Zimbabwe for 176 in the first innings of the first Test and then made 426 in response. They then skittled out the Brendan Taylor-led side for a palrty 134 in the second innings.
