Malik, playing his first one-day after two years, notched up a 76-ball 112 with 12 fours and two sixes to steer Pakistan to 375-3 — their highest against Zimbabwe — before restricting the tourists to 334-5 in 50 overs at Gaddafi Stadium.
The former cricket captain has also been supportive of his wife’s achievements and said he was proud his wife Sania Mirza had become the world’s top-ranked doubles tennis player, adding it was an honour for both countries.
