Lahore, Pakistan--Pakistan posted 296-9 in the third and final day-night international against Zimbabwe at Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday.
Pakistan, leading the series 2-0, were given a dream start by Mohammad Hafeez (86) and Azhar Ali (46) during their 115-run stand for the opening wicket after they won the toss and opted to bat.
Debutant Babar Azam chipped in with a 60-ball 54.
For Zimbabwe off-spinner Sikander Raza took a career best 3-59.
Zimbabwe is the first Test playing nation to tour Pakistan since a terror attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009 led to the suspension of all international cricket in the country.
