ZIM vs AFG 3rd T20I Live Updates
We are back. The players are out in the middle. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Sediqullah Atal to open for Afghanistan. Richard Ngarava to bowl first.
...THE CHASE...
Afghanistan will be pleased with their efforts. They weren't at their very best in the Powerplay but after that, they did really well. Rashid, Mujeeb and Omarzai were excellent but they'll be slightly disappointed that they let the last pair form a small stand which helped the hosts get over 120. They'll still back themselves to chase it down but it could be a tricky chase. Join us shortly for it.
From 78 for 3, they slipped to 106 for 9. The last pair though batted really well. They converted ones into twos and managed to get over the 120-run mark which looked difficult when that collapse happened. We still feel it's slightly under par but they do have something to bowl at.
Zimbabwe have crawled their way to close to 130 and it’s all thanks to the last pair. At one stage though, it seemed like they would get a lot more. The top order got them off to a decent start but yet again the middle order failed to make most of it.
