Zimbabwe beat Pakistan for the first time in a T20I on Friday, with four-wicket Luke Jongwe the star of a shock 19-run triumph here.
A maiden victory in 16 attempts seemed unlikely when the tourists restricted the hosts to a meagre 118-9 with Tinashe Kamunhukamwe (34) the only batsman to impress.
But right-arm medium pacer Jongwe (4-18) wreaked havoc and Zimbabwe bowled out Pakistan for 99 in 19.5 overs.
It was the lowest total defended in a T20I in Harare and victory for Zimbabwe levelled the three-match series at 1-1 ahead of the decider at the same venue on Sunday.
