AFG vs ZIM Live Cricket Score

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Gurbaz goes early. It is Richard Ngarava who strikes and joy for Zimbabwe. Good length and angled across off, Gurbaz looks to punch it on the up through the off side but the extra bounce does him in as the outside edge is found. Richmond Mutumbami behind the stumps takes the catch. Early blow for Afghanistan. 9/1

12 OUT! CAUGHT! Usman Ghani is disappointed as he fall for 49! Good smart catch from Blessing Muzarabani. Length and angled on leg, Ghani looks to flick it to the leg side but plays it towards short fine leg. Muzarabani dives to his right and takes the catch. A wicket against the run of play for Zimbabwe. Tiripano has something to cheer in the end. 111/2

14.1 OUT! TIMBER! Burl strikes and the dangerous Janat heads back. Tossed up on off, Janat goes for the slog again but is early into the shot as the ball is slow to arrive. He misses it and sees his stumps castled. 119/3

17 OUT! CAUGHT! Muzarabani strikes and Zadran departs. It was a good battle between the two and it is the Zimbabwean pacer who trumps it. Full on off, Zadran looks to go over long off but the ball is not full enough. He does not get it right of the middle and ends up finding Ryan Burl at long off. He does well to take the catch and also ensure he is inside the ropes. 154/4

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Nabi departs but not before playing a cameo. Slower short ball around off, Nabi goes for the pull but not to his liking as he finds the deep mid-wicket fielder there to perfection. Tarisai Musakanda there takes the catch. 171/5

0.1 OUT! LBW! Tinashe Kamunhukamwe is on the ground. What a start from Naveen-ul-Haq and Afghanistan. Short of good length and around middle, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe goes for the pull but is beaten by the low bounce to wear the blow into his leg. There is an appeal and the finger goes up. Early blow to Zimbabwe in the chase. 0/1

5.1 OUT! CAUGHT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER THERE! Reward for Hamza as Zimbabwe lose another one. Floated around middle, Tarisai Musakanda makes room and looks to go downtown. He though cannot get under the ball as he would have liked and ends up chipping it to Najibullah Zadran at long on who takes a dolly there. Zimbabwe need 150 in 89 balls. 44/4

1.2 OUT! CASTLED! First with the bat and now with ball. Nabi is on a roll as he cleans up the Zimbabwean skipper. Floated around off, Williams lines up for a big slog sweep but he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball as he misses it. The ball though does not miss its target as the off stump takes the beating. 11/2

2.4 OUT! Naveen-ul-Haq takes his second one and Zimbabwe in trouble early on as they lose their third wicket. Short and wide outside off,  Wesley chases it. In the end, he can only spoon it in the air and offer a simple catch to Usman Ghani at point.  Really poor from Wesley Madhevere there. 27/3

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Zimbabwe have lost half their side! Raza departs and takes all the hopes of a Zimbabwe fightback with him. Short and into the body of Raza, Sikandar takes on the short ball as he goes for the pull but ends up top-edging it to deep square leg where Amir Hamza holds onto a good catch near the ropes. 56/5

13.3 OUT! LBW! Nabi strikes to break this stand! Floated around middle, Richmond Mutumbami goes for the reverse sweep again. He though misses it this time to get hit flush on the pads. Nabi appeals and the umpire raises his finger. 118/6

16.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid has the final laugh! Before this ball he had smashed Rashid for three huge hits but it is not to be this time as Burl falls. Floated outside off, Burl slogs it up and over the mid-wicket region but can't clear the man in the deep as Usman Ghani takes the catch. 141/7

17 OUT! BOWLED! Three in the over! Zimbabwe are 9 down! Full on off, Tiripano is late to play the reverse sweep as he misses to see his off stump get uprooted. 148/9

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid has another one! Floated around off, Mavuta hoicks it over to long on where Naveen-ul-Haq takes the catch. 142/8

17.1 OUT! BOWLED! That is it from Zimbabwe! A full yorker around off, Muzarabani fails to dig it out and sees the stumps take the beating. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 45 RUNS! 148/10
