Lahore: The third and final day-night international between Pakistan and Zimbabwe ended as a no result in Lahore on Sunday after play was ended by a sandstorm followed by rain. Zimbabwe, chasing a target of 297 to win, were 60-0 before a power failure in a floodlight tower and a heavy sandstorm forced the players to walk off the field at Gaddafi Stadium.

The teams came back for one over during which Zimbabwe, chasing a revised target of 281 in 46 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis formula, added eight more runs without losing a wicket. A heavy downpour then forced the players off once more before the umpires called off the match as rain continued to fall. Pakistan took the three-match series 2-0 having won the first game by 41 runs and the second by six wickets -- both in Lahore.
