“It was a complete team effort,” said Ali, who became the first Pakistan captain to score a hundred in a successful run chase. “This is a good win but we have a long way to go as a team.”

For Zimbabwe Pakistan-born Sikander Raza smashed an 84-ball 100 not out with eight fours and three sixes while Chamu Chibhabha's career-best 99 had 11 fours and a six which lifted the score to 268/7.

Pakistan won the first match by 41 runs in Lahore.

The one-day win followed Pakistan's 2-0 win in the preceding Twenty20 matches in the series which marked the return of international cricket in the country after a six-year gap.
