Welcome to Dawn.com's live coverage of the second Twenty20 International between Pakistan and Zimbabwe from Gaddafi Stadium Lahore.

Six years with no international cricket was a long time, and the first game to break this isolation proved to be a thriller as Pakistan clinched a five-wicket victory over Zimbabwe.

Cricket has finally returned to Pakistan. Now the focus will be on the field for both the hosts and the visitors.

Pakistan will be looking forward to making it a clean sweep, whereas the African side Zimbabwe will be eyeing a series leveler.

With its fighting spirit in the first T20, Zimbabwe made it clear that the series won't be an easy ride home for the hosts.

After today's T20, Pakistan and Zimbabwe will face each other in three One-Day Internationals. Due to security reasons, all matches are going to be played in Lahore.
