England's strategic play saw Bashir take center stage when the game resumed post-lunch. Reduced to 141-3 at the interval, Zimbabwe faced immediate setbacks. Bashir struck swiftly, dismissing Ben Curran, progressing Zimbabwe's collapse.

Zimbabwe, despite fine efforts from Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza, couldn't withstand England's relentless attack. Bashir, complemented by Harry Brook's exceptional catch, decimated any hope of a Zimbabwean resurgence, rounding off a decisive victory for the home side.
