Opener Fakhar Zaman cracked a career-best 91 as Pakistan beat Australia by six wickets in the final of the Twenty20 tri-series at Harare Sports Club on Sunday.

Zaman shared in a century stand with Shoaib Malik as Pakistan recovered from an early wobble in their pursuit of Australia's 183 for 8, and Malik then showed all the experience of an 18-year international career to see his team home with an unbeaten 43.

It looked as though Australia had produced a masterstroke in opening the bowling with Glenn Maxwell's offspin as debutant Sahibzada Farhan was stumped off the first ball he faced and Hussain Talat sliced a catch to point three balls later to derail Pakistan's chase.

Australia threatened to storm to victory, but Zaman quickly set about re-building the innings. First, he added 45 with captain Sarfraz Ahmed to take his team out of immediate danger, and he then added 107 for the fourth wicket with Malik to seize the advantage for Pakistan.

When Zaman fell cutting out to deep cover, Pakistan still needed 30 from 24, but while Malik remained at the crease their chase was always safe.

It seemed that Glenn Maxwell did not like losing much. After Pakistan reached the target, Maxwell created a bizarre situation when he walked past Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed without shaking hands.

Maxwell's reation is not in line with the new image new coach Justin Langer has vowed to create for the scandal-hit Australian cricket team.
