So that’s all from this rain-marred game, we’ll be back on Tuesday for the second ODI. Will Pakistan bounce back then or will Zimbabwe claim the series? Join us then, bye for now…

Craig Ervine | Zimbabwe captain: Ecstatic. The boys were really up for it. We had a week's preparation and the boys were confident coming into today. We probably would have bowled first but once the toss and anthems were done the sun came out and it was actually a nice wicket to bat first on. The top-order did well but the middle-order faltered. Not from an intent point of view but the execution bit. We were never down on the run-rate and if we can continue on that in the coming games we will be fine. We were under-par but Richie [Ngarava] and Blessing did extremely well at the start to contain and then Willow [Williams] and Raz [Raza], experienced campaigners and they made it very difficult for them through the middle overs.

Sikandar Raza | Player of the Match: I thought I let the team down with the way I got out when we were set. 250-260 was a very good score on this wicket, then somebody had to bat out of their skin to get that. The way the seamers started was very good for us. In international cricket we look for those challenges. Our first four batters did that, as the skipper said, we were below-par but credit to the bowlers and they made life difficult. Ngarava kept saying to me, you can trust me, he got those ones and twos and when he found the boundaries, I felt I can trust him and I also gained in confidence. It's a daunting task as an allrounder, it takes a toll on your body but when you play for the country, the pain goes away. You have to be ready to do everything for the country.

Mohammad Rizwan | Pakistan captain: It was not good for us. They played with experience. Sikandar Raza took it to the end, that's where the game went away from us. We won the toss and then the sun came out and made it easy. They put us under pressure and as a batting group we did not handle that. They attacked the pacers and then we had to bring on the spinners. Muzarabani and Ngarava are experienced campaigners, they have played in the PSL, we have seen them, they can put the batters under pressure in any conditions.

A thumping win for Zimbabwe that will dampen all the joy of winning away in Australia. It was a fairly placid surface and the hosts started well, but their innings stuttered in the middle overs. Salman Agha came in and picked three overs, as Faisal Akram and Aamir Jamal claimed their maiden ODI wickets as well. Zimbabwe were 125/7 at one stage but then Ngarava and Sikandar Raza stitched together some valuable runs to get their team total past 200. In reply, Pakistan lost both their openers to Muzurabani, and then Raza struck twice in an over while Sean Williams picked up two as well to leave Pakistan reeling at 60/6. The pitch started to turn and Pakistan’s middle order struggled, and then the rain came to hasten the result. The first loss for Rizwan as ODI captain, and it is one that will sting for quite a while. Stick around for the presentations.

16:27 Local Time, 14:27 GMT, 19:57 IST: And the inevitable has happened. The rain has had the final say. Zimbabwe have won this game by 80 runs on DLS.

15:42 Local Time, 13:42 GMT, 19:12 IST: Nothing positive to report, folks. The rain is back and it is steady. We are in for a lengthy delay.

15:34 Local Time, 13:34 GMT, 19:04 IST:

15:11 Local Time, 13:11 GMT, 18:41 IST:

14:39 Local Time, 12:39 GMT, 18:09 IST: The groundsmen are scampering with the covers as it has started to rain out of nowhere.
