Nazir dominates Pakistan victory stroll

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Mar 22 (Reuters) Imran Nazir's career best 160 helped Pakistan rack up their highest World Cup total as they beat Zimbabwe by 93 runs in their final Group D match at Sabina Park.

The result provided a fitting end to the glittering career of captain Inzamam-ul-Haq who was retiring from one-day internationals after this match.

Two defeats before this had ensured the 1992 champions' early elimination.

Pakistan lost the toss and scored 349 in their 50 overs.

Zimbabwe replied with 99 all out after being handed a revised target of 193 in just 20 overs following a 150-minute rain delay.

The result means that Zimbabwe are also eliminated from the tournament after Pakistan crashed out on Saturday. Hosts West Indies and debutants Ireland meet tomorrow and both also progress to the Super Eights stage.
