Playing his first match in the series, Faraz hit an unbeaten 34 off 19 balls, a record for any Zimbabwean batting at No. 10, but the visitors still finished short at 156-9. Saifuddin, who made 3-42, held his nerve to concede only three runs from the last three balls.
Towhid Hridoy earlier scored his maiden Twenty20 international with 57 off 38 balls, helping the hosts recover from a sluggish start after they were put in to bat first. Jaker Ali provided Towhid ample support with 44 off 34 balls as the pair shared 87 for the fourth wicket.
