Pakistan v/s Zimbabwe 5th ODI: Sarfraz Ahmed does a Dhoni, Twitter says 'Stop toying with Zimbabwe'

Pakistan beat Zimbabwe by 131 runs on Sunday in the fifth and final one-day international to clean sweep the ODI series. It was an easy series for Pakistan who dominated their opponents in every aspect.

Things were going so well for Pakistan that Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed decided to copy former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and bowl couple of overs.

Sarfaraz took off the gloves to bowl the 48th and 50th overs of Zimbabwe's innings. He had asked Fakhar Zaman to don the wicketkeeping gloves for these overs.

Sarfraz conceded just 6 runs in the first over of his ODI career. He was then whacked for a huge six by Peter Moor over the midwicket region in the next over. Unlike Dhoni, Sarfaraz failed to take a wicket on his ODI bowling debut.

Dhoni has one international wicket to his name. Dhoni had dismissed West Indies' Travis Dowlin during the ICC Champions Trophy match in 2009 in Johannesburg.

Pakistan went on to win the game by 131 runs as they whitewashed Zimbabwe 5-0. Twitter was quite amused at the sight of Sarfraz playing a new role. However, some pointed out that Sarfaraz's decision was itself a comment on the quality of the series.

Fakhar Zaman, who scored a double century in the last match, became the fastest player in history to reach 1,000 career runs in one-day international cricket as Pakistan amassed 364 for 4.

Sarfraz hailed "a great team effort" as Pakistan completed the series whitewash.

"It was a great team effort to win 5-0 against Zimbabwe," said Ahmed. "Everyone wanted to bat...but at the same time it's really good to see young players performing like this, like Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq have been doing, which is good for the team."
