AFG vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

14.2 OUT! TAKEN! No century in store for Gurbaz. Heartbreaking as he was looking set for that magical three-number score. A wicket against the run of play for Burl. He bowls a loopy delivery on middle and off as Rahmanullah Gurbaz comes down the track looking to slog it away to the on side. Unluckily for him, it takes the leading edge and the ball loops up in the air towards the point region. Donald Tiripano is the fielder there and the catch is taken. No century but that doesn't take away the fact that he was simply ruthless and amazing. Terrorized the Zimbabwean bowlers with his extraordinary onslaught. 154/2

8 OUT! CAUGHT! There it is! There is the breakthrough that the Zimbabweans were waiting for. It has come after some time and even though Janat walks back, he should be happy with his contribution with the blade, to give Afghanistan a good platform! Slightly short and outside off, going across the right-hander, as Karim Janat looks to slam this one. Only manages an outside edge due to the extra bounce and it goes to the keeper, Richmond Mutumbami, who takes it on the second attempt. The 80-run opening stand is broken and Zimbabwe would take this opportunity to regroup. 80/1

19.3 OUT! Afghan holes out! But he has already done the damage. Attempts to go downtown and clear long on but fails to get the desired distance. Sikandar Raza settles underneath it near the fence and takes a well-judged catch. Najibullah Zadran is in next but Rashid will be on strike. 192/4

19 OUT! CAUGHT! Finishes a very good over with the big wicket at this stage as Nabi can be very lethal with the bat! Short ball outside off, Nabi looks to tonk it over long off but does not middle it and ends up hitting it straight to long off, where Brandon Mavuta takes an easy catch. 185/3

19.5 OUT! Caught behind! Clever change in pace by Blessing Muzarabani. He lands it full and wide outside off, Rashid once again attempts for a fancy big shot and swings his bat at it. This time though the ball arrives late to take the top edge. It flies in the air and Richmond Mutumbami grabs it easily behind the wickets. 198/5

13.1 OUT! BOWLED! Big wicket for Afghanistan as Tinashe was well set! Rashid brings out the googly and it does the trick! Shortish delivery outside off, came in and stayed a bit low while doing so, Tinashe looked to play it off the back foot but the ball goes through his defence and tickles the stumps. 106/3

4.5 OUT! TAKEN! The first stand is broken and Afghanistan will be a happy bunch with this wicket. The man in the deep was placed for this shot and the ploy has worked out. Short and around off, Tarisai Musakanda cannot resist and he brings out the pull shot again. This time, not with the best timing though as the ball flies towards the deep mid-wicket region, where the substitute fielder, Ibrahim Zadran takes a good catch. 161 more needed in 91 balls. 38/1

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT! He's a goner! The captain, Williams goes back now and this is a big wicket for Afghanistan! Janat does the trick and sends the danger man back into the shed. Bowls a length ball around off, but without any pace, Sean Williams looks for the clip away to the on side but closes the face of the bat early as the ball takes the leading edge and lobs towards Hashmatullah Shahidi at point, who makes no mistake. 116 more needed in 57 balls. 83/2

16.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Another wicket and Malik strikes and the curtains are being called, on this game. Farid bowls a slower bouncer outside off, Raza looks to pull this one over the man at deep mid-wicket. But his timing on this shot is questionable. The ball goes to the substitute fielder, Ibrahim Zadran there and he again ends up taking a good catch. 75 more needed in 22 balls. 124/5

14.3 OUT! TIMBER! Beautifully bowled by Janat and Afghanistan get another wicket and the game is slipping away from the visitors now. Steams in and fires in a yorker on the middle pole, Burl looks to heave this to the leg side but misses. You miss, I hit. The sticks go for a walk. 88 needed in 33 balls now. 111/4

17.2 OUT! TIMBER! Googly does the trick again, a length delivery around off and Richmond has a wild slog at it. The bat is nowhere near the ball and the furniture is disturbed behind. Closing things well is Rashid. Donald Tiripano is in next to face the music. 133/6

17.4 OUT! LBW! That is plumb! Rashid fires a quicker delivery on the stumps and Wesley, who is looking to sweep it away gets beaten and is rapped on the pads. Easy decision for the umpire. Brandon Mavuta walks in next. 134/7
