I knew ZIM would choke after doing all the right things just like they did in the first match. But when they got 100 odd for 1 and leading by 160+ with 9 wickets in the bag, I thought they were in with a good chance since its collapse expert Pakistan. Up till that point I had been heavily rooting for PAK. Once I saw ZIM with a clear upper hand at the end of day 3, I switched allegiances and rooted heavily for ZIM. They truly played better.
Course I have some selfish reasons as well. The more points ZIM accumulates (beating us 2-1, drawing with PAK 1-1) the more points we stand to gain back when we host ZIM.
PS - there was a story about pretty poor conditions in ZIM during this tour with hotels not having running water. Perhaps the same effect on PAK's players as it did on ours? After all you need the morning lota pani otherwise your asscrack will start itching by the first drinks break! BD ar PAK chhara baki shob team to shudu TP diye obhosto.
