AFG vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

7 OUT! LBW! umpire's call! The review is retained but Gurbaz' fun is over. Williams strikes. The slider, pitching around off and skidding on, Rahmanullah looks to sweep but misses. Is hit on the pads, Williams appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Gurbaz has a chat with his partner and then takes the review. The third umpire takes a while to confirm whether there is no inside edge. The ball is pretty close to the gloves but eventually, he is convinced that the spike on Ultra Edge is not due to the gloves. Ball Tracker shows the ball to be clipping leg stump, which means umpire's call will stay. 43 from 24 for the debutant. 60/2

5.4 OUT! Caught. So it will not be a wicketless Powerplay. A wicket falls at last. A length ball, outside off, Hazratullah swings hard but he is slightly early into his shot. The ball comes much later than his anticipation and takes the top edge. Simple catch for Sean Williams at sweeper cover. Wonder what was the need for that slog with Gurbaz going so well at the other end. 57/1

11.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Tarakai is out of here! Loopy ball on off which bounced a little extra, Tarakai looks to push it towards the off side but the ball bounces on him and it goes off the upper half of his bat towards cover. Ainsley Ndlovu there takes a simple catch. Zimbabwe are making a comeback in the game by restricting the run flow and also picking up wickets. 80/3

13.2 OUT! Caught! Gone this time. Gosh. That went miles in the air. Flighted outside off, Afghan jumps out once again, aiming to repeat his previous ball's dose but this time he skies it high in the night sky. Does not have enough distance and Ryan Burl does very well to take the skier at long on. Are the Afghans losing the plot? 90/4

20 OUT! A wicket to end the innings. A simple catch. Full and outside off, Nabi looks to clear long on but he is not quite able to get underneath it. The ball takes the toe end of the bat and lobs towards long on where Ryan Burl takes it calmly. AFGHANISTAN FINISH ON 197/5! 197/5

3.4 OUT! Caught! Taylor's fight comes to an end. Good length ball around off, Brendan shuffles across and looks to play the paddle shot. He gets no timing on it whatsoever and ends up chipping it to the right of short mid-wicket. Hazratullah Zazai there swiftly moves across to that side and takes a good catch over his head. Both the openers are back for an early shower for Zimbabwe. 30/2

2.5 OUT! Run Out! Just the start Zimbabwe did not want. Darted on the pads, Masakadza looks to flick but the ball takes an inside edge and goes to the leg side off the pitch after deflecting off Hamilton's body. Taylor calls for a single, Masakadza is in two minds and then decides to go with it. Rahmanullah Gurbaz gets rid of his glove and gets to the ball. He scores a direct hit at the bowler's end and Masakadza continues his run to the pavilion as the umpire does not even go upstairs. 25/1

6.3 OUT! LBW! Zimbabwe in all sorts of trouble here. Janat steams in and bowls a very full ball on leg. Ervine goes across his stumps and looks to play it on the leg side. He misses and the ball hits him flush on his left boot. The Afghanistan players go up in a confident appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Craig has a long chat with Mutombodzi and then he decides to take the review but he signals it after the allotted 15 seconds and he has to continue his walk back. Bad news for Ervine. Had he reviewed it early he could have continued his fight as Hawk Eye later on shows that the ball was pitching outside leg! 44/4

4 OUT! Caught! Sean was lucky not to edge the previous one but this time he is not that lucky. Good length ball around off, Williams goes chasing after it. The ball takes a thick outside edge which goes slightly to the left of the keeper. Gurbaz has no problem in taking a simple catch. 30/3

12 OUT! Caught! Mutombodzi is out of here. Full and outside off, Tinotenda looks to play the slog sweep but gets it off the toe end of the bat. Skies it high in the air and is taken calmly at long on. Najeeb Tarakai with the honours. 81/5

13.3 OUT! BOWLED! No heroics for Burl tonight. Landed around off, the googly from Rashid, Ryan goes back to cut but is beaten by the away spin. Drags it back onto the stumps. 96/6

17.1 OUT! Another full toss and this time it is caught. Madziva comes down the track and Naib bowls a high full toss wide outside off. It is a slower ball, which adds to the trouble of Regis who has to reach out after being early into the shot. The ball balloons towards point where Mohammad Nabi takes it calmly. 141/7
