5 OUT! TAKEN! Zimbabwe are five down and they are in a precarious position. On a good length and around off, skidding through. Brian Bennett seems to be caught in two minds and gets stuck in his crease. He tries to slog across but gets deceived as the ball is a slower one. Ends up miscuing it towards mid on where Rashid Khan moves to his left and pouches it around his knee. 30/5

1.2 OUT! LBW! Huge shout for LBW and up goes the finger of the umpire! Mujeeb Ur Rahman gets the first breakthrough! He bowls it fuller, pitching it on middle and angles it in, toward the leg stump. Tadiwanashe Marumani gets down on one knee, looking for a sweep, but misses on the inner edge and hits the pad. Tadiwanashe Marumani, though, has a chat with his partner but doesn't review and walks back. 16/1

| Brendan Taylor Wk | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |

1.3 OUT! IN THE AIR... TAKEN! Mujeeb Ur Rahman strikes back and in no matter of time, Zimbabwe are down two batter down! Pitches it up, around off, does Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Brendan Taylor hangs back and looks to heave it across the line as the fielder in the mid-wicket region is inside the inner circle. The ball hits the upper part of his bat and loops toward the point region. Actually, it was a bit near to the wicket.. Rahmanullah Gurbaz does well to judge the skier and gloves it in near his chest. 17/2

| Sikandar Raza C | 1 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 25 |

2.3 OUT! CAUGHT Azmatullah Omarzai joins the party now! This one is a slower, back of a length, on middle. Sikandar Raza pulls it uppishly but fails to understand the change of pace by the bowler. The ball loops straight toward the deep square leg region, where the dubutant, Shahidullah Kamal, bends a bit forward and catches it safely into his palms. 25/3

2.5 OUT! TAKEN! Azmatullah Omarzai gets his second wicket! Back of a length, on middle and leg. Ryan Burl hangs back and looks to flick it to square leg, but unfortunately gets an outside edge. The ball skies toward short fine leg. It's Gurbaz once again who takes matters into his hands as he calls 'leave' to the catch and gets the job done by catching it around his chest. 25/4

8.5 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Abdullah Ahmadzai gets his name written on the wicket list! He pitches it up, outside off, around the seventh stump. Tony Munyonga looks to offer a drive at it, but gets the inner edge, and the ball hits the off stump. That's a soft and a bit unfortunate dismissal for Tony Munyonga! Zimbabwe are six down. 59/6

10.2 OUT! TASHINGA MUSEKIWA IS RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust! Shahidullah Kamal drags his length back once again, just outside off. Tashinga Musekiwa hangs back and opens the face of his bat to slice it. The ball bounces toward the right of the short third fielder. Abdullah Ahmadzai dives to his left from backward point and makes a stop. Brad Evans calls for a single, but Musekiwa responds late. Abdullah Ahmadzai throws it toward the non-striker's end and hits the stumps directly. Musekiwa shows some lazy running and reaches his home late. After reviewing upstairs, the big screen turns red. 68/7

15.2 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A dangerously looking partnership has come to an end, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman gets his third wicket! He pitches it up, on off and middle, angling in. Brad Evans looks to flick it, but closes his willow a bit early. The ball hits the leading edge, and the ball flies straight to the bowler, where Rahman does well to hold his composure and reverse scoop it near his stomach. 121/8

15.5 OUT! TAKEN! Tossed up by Mujeeb Ur Rahman, on middle and off. Tinotenda Maposa gets down on one knee, looking for a slog sweep. The ball catches the top edge, and the ball loops high up in the sky to the right of the keeper. Gurbaz makes no mistake in catching it safely in his gloves. Zimbabwe lose their ninth wicket, and Blessing Muzarabani stepped on the field as the last man. 126/9

16.1 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! DONE AND DUSTED! Abdullah Ahmadzai hurls it on a length and bowls it from wide of the crease to create an inward angle. Pitches it up and keeps the line around middle. The ball keeps coming back and cramps the batter. Blessing Muzarabani tries to get away from it as he hangs his bat in front, but gets a bit late. The ball beats the inside edge of the bat, brushes his front pad and crashes into the middle stump. Afghanistan win the first T20I by 53 runs. 127/10
