       A good game had by all with the hero being Younis Khan who was
        fasting too as its Ramadan, picked up 4 catches, 1 run out, one
        wicket, 90 runs, what more could one ask for?
       Zimbabwe batted well early on with Andy Flower in charge again but
        wilted as the run rate pressure mounted after their bowlers had
        done well restricitng pakistan to 300 and certainly giving them a
        hard time getting some early wickets
       After losing the top 4 batsmen, Youhana and Younis Khan got
        together and hit 88 and 90 respectively to help get Pakistan to
        300 and this total did prove to be too much for Zimbabwe
       Pakistan have won 5-nil and will be heading off to South Africa to
        play 5 ODI's first followed by 2 test matches
       Ceremonies on now
       Lots of glittering prizes glinting out there
       Cambell comes up and says, there have been a few bright spots but
        Pak has played well, positives are Andy's form and Grant too
       Hopes to be back winning and some of the injured players will be
        back soon, some by Sunday against Kenya
       Man of the Match is Younis Khan 90 and involvement in half a doxen
        dismissals
       He says he enjoyed himself today!!
       Man of the Series is Yousuf Youhans for a bunch of runs and
        dismissed once
       It was a very good series and was always good pitches to bat on
       Says he will try his best against South Africa
       Waqar collects the Trohy for the Series win
       Says he is happy for the rest and thanks his team and Youhana
        especially for his batting
       South Africa will be a different series and we will try our best
       Thats all folk, the series in Zimbabwe is over and we hope you
        enjoyed it and will join us for live coverage of the South African
        leg, as we say goodbye from CricInfo
