Pakistan were beaten by seven wickets in the first ODI after having won the Twenty20 series comfortably 2-0. Despite captain Misbah-ul-Haq scoring 83 and Muhammad Hafeez 70, Pakistan could post a modest 244 for seven, and Zimbabwe comfortably reached the target in 48.2 overs to win their first ODI against Pakistan since 1998.
