Cricket: Pakistan squeeze past Zimbabwe

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN - Younis Khan produced a fine all-round performance to guide Pakistan to a battling three-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second match of a triangular one-day cricket tournament today.

He followed a decent display as stand-in wicketkeeper for flu-victim Moin Khan with 77 from 86 balls to set up a second win for the hosts in a tournament also involving Sri Lanka.

Younis shared a fifth-wicket stand of 114 from 128 balls with Shoaib Malik (80) to rescue his team from a precarious position of 89 for four chasing a target of 253.
