ZIM vs AFG Live Cricket Score

8.1 OUT! Cleaned him up! Top comeback from Rashid Khan and he gets rid of the set-batter. It is the flatter googly, lands it on a perfect length and on off stump. Wesley Madhevere looks to block it off the front foot but leaves a huge gap between bat and pad. The ball turns in sharply and goes on to hit middle and leg. 64/3

2.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Fazalhaq Farooqi draws first blood! Just a good length ball angled across the right-hander. Innocent Kaia steps down the track and looks to force the big shot across the line. Kaia loses his shape and ends up getting a top edge. The ball goes high and towards cover-point where Azmatullah Omarzai takes a safe catch. 12/1

5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Nijat Masood has the last laugh here and picks up his maiden wicket in international cricket. What a moment for the young pacer and he gets the big wicket of Craig Ervine. Masood pulls back his length and bowls it around middle. The ball angles across but Ervine gets in an awkward position as he tries to work it against the angle. The ball pops up off the leading edge and Masood takes a simple catch to his left. 42/2

13.2 OUT! CAUGHT! The partnership is broken and the debutant has two! Nijat Masood goes for the slower delivery and bowls it into the deck, outside off. Regis Chakabva takes a couple of steps forward and looks to work it leg side but closes the face of the bat way too early. The ball goes off the top edge and towards mid off. Mohammad Nabi takes a simple catch over there and Zimbabwe are now five down. 97/5

9 WIDE AND OUT! STUMPED! Mohammad Nabi comes back into the attack and has outfoxed Milton Shumba here! Shumba looks to step out of the crease and Nabi sees his coming. Nabi then just shortens the length and angles it down the leg side. Shumba misses the nudge and Rahmanullah Gurbaz is quick to whip off the bails. Zimbabwe just dugging themselves a bit of a hole here. 66/4

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Sikandar Raza holes out at a crucial stage. It is a length ball, outside off. Raza throws his blade. It takes the outside edge and goes to the left of short third man. Hazratullah Zazai dives to his left to take a sharp catch. 148/8

15 OUT! RUN OUT! Direct hit and he's gone! What a brilliant piece of fielding from Karim Janat in the deep. Full and straight, flicked away through mid-wicket by Ryan Burl and the immediate call is for two. Karim Janat charges in from the mid-wicket fence and in one smotth motion throws it back onto the stumps at the batter's end. The replay shows that even the dive couldn't save Burl and he has to walk back. 107/6

16.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Would you believe it? Another direct hit and it's brought Afghanistan another wicket as well. This is on a length and on off, Luke Jongwe prods and nudges it to the right of the bowler. Sikandar Raza calls him for a single and Jongwe is off the mark. Rashid Khan springs to his right and turns around quickly to throw the ball onto the stumps at the bowler's end. Jongwe is ball watching and puts in the dive at the last moment. The replay shows that the dive wasn't enough and Jongwe is out. 123/7

10.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Ryan Burl and Hazratullah Zazai has given away his wicket here! This is tossed up on middle, Zazai dances down the track and looks to muscle it over the long on fence but doesn't quite get to the pitch of the ball. Zazai ends up hitting it straight down the throat of Sikandar Raza who takes a sharp catch. Burl on a hat-trick now. 83/2

10.1 OUT! TAKEN! Finally, a breakthrough for Zimbabwe and could this change the momentum a bit? Ryan Burl just serves it on a length and gives it a bit of flight. Rahmanullah Gurbaz comes down the track and looks to swing across the line. The ball flies high off the top edge and around the point region. The keeper, Regis Chakabva calls it early and settles under it nicely to take the catch. 83/1

11 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Regis Chakabva holds on to the catch and Ryan Burl is turning it on here, three wickets in the over for him. This is on a length, around off and turning away a bit. Usman Ghani makes the mistake of swinging across the line and gets a thick outside edge on it. The keeper, fumbles but gets it on the second attempt. Zimbabwe well and truly back in the game now. 74 needed now off 54 balls. 86/3

17.2 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Gem of a slower delivery from Luke Jongwe and he has broken the stand. This is just pitched up a bit and it's the off cutter. The ball comes in off the surface as Darwish Rasooli swings hard across the line. Rasooli gets undone by the lack of pace and the ball goes on to crash into the off pole. Could this be the wicket that turns the tide? 26 needed off 16 balls. 134/4
