The hosts sealed the three-match series by 2-0 after winning the first ODI by five wickets.

Imam, registered his sixth fifty-plus score is as many matches, as he reached his 13th ODI fifty with a boundary off Hayden Walsh in 52 balls. Babar brought his sixth consecutive fifty-plus score with a single off Akeal Hosein in the 28th over.
Off the very next ball, Imam was run-out by Nicholas Pooran's throw after a mix-up with Babar. Hosein dismissed the Pakistan skipper with a return catch in the 36th over as the hosts kept losing wickets at a regular rate.
