Zimbabwe lead the three-match ODI series by 1-0, having won the first match by 80 runs via the DLS method after rain disrupted play.
They were restricted by Pakistani bowlers to 205 but the visiting team failed to cement themselves and were 60/6 in 21 overs when the rain started to heavily pour in Bulawayo.
Chasing a 206-run target, the Green Shirts were struggling to gain momentum against the Zimbabwe bowlers. Kamran Ghulam (17), Saim Ayub (11), Irfan (7) Salman Ali Agha (4) Abdullah Shafique (1), Haseebullah Khan failed to show any significant resistance with the bat.
Before the rain delayed the match, Rizwan (19 off 43) and Jamal (0 off 5) were on the wicket.
Zimbabwe bowlers were outstanding with the ball and did not provide the Pakistani batters any room whatsoever.
