Toss: Zimbabwe have won the toss and have chosen to bowl
Pakistan cruised to a 131-run win over Zimbabwe in the first one-day international at Harare Sports Club.
Yasir Shah's 6 for 26, then systematically dismantled Zimbabwe's line-up. Yasir's haul was the second best by a Pakistan spinner, and the best ever by a spinner in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe have dropped Prosper Utseya, and Craig Ervine is out with a hamstring injury. It's an issue that has troubled him in the past as well. ODI debut for Brian Chari.
For Pakistan, meanwhile, it looks like Sarfraz Ahmed is playing as a specialist batsman. Loads of bowling too, with Imad Wasim at No. 7 and Wahab Riaz at No. 8. Aamer Yamin makes his debut.
