Pakistan triumphs

SHARJAH April 11. Taufiq Umer and vice captain Yousuf Youhana put up an unbeaten 144-run partnership on Thursday as favourites Pakistan beat Zimbabwe by eight wickets to win the Sharjah Cup one-day tournament.

Pakistan restricted Zimbabwe to 168 all out in 49.1 overs and then responded with 172 for two in 35.2 overs.

Pakistan overcame the loss of two early wickets as opener Umer and Youhana played sensibly, anchoring Pakistan's innings that reached the target with 88 balls to spare.

Umer hit 81 runs laced with 10 boundaries, for which he received the man of the match award. Youhana scored a fluent 61 in 69 balls with six fours and one six off Raymond Price.

Pakistan, unbeaten through the four-nation tournament, also earned $40,000. Zimbabwe got the second-place $30,000.
