Commentary

  • 14.5

    Wide Kyle Jarvis to Mohammad Nabi. Short, off stump moves in front pulling, Play and Miss (Leg Side) to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Taylor.

    A convincing win in the end for the hosts. Afghanistan get home with 32 balls to spare. They had a wobble in the middle overs, but Mohammad Nabi took away those nerves with a blistering 40 not out.

    Zimbabwe never got enough runs, and had to bowl extremely well to defend 120. All the Afghan bowlers were brilliant and deserve to be on the winning side. They go 1-0 up in the two match series, and tomorrow we will find out if they can make that 2-0, or if the visitors can level it up. Join us then.

  • 14.4

    FOUR! Kyle Jarvis to Mohammad Nabi. Off cutter half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Floaty slower delivery outside off, and with mid off up in the ring, it was too easy for Nabi. Slapped down the ground for four.

  • 14.2

    SIX! Kyle Jarvis to Shafiqullah. Short, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, well timed in the air under control over deep backward square leg for 6 runs. Closes the eyes, but connects sweetly. Jarvis bowls an accurate bumper in at the throat, but Shafiqulluh swivels and sends it sailing over the rope.

    SIX! Blessing Muzarabani to Mohammad Nabi. Short, outside off stump moves in front pulling, well timed in the air under control over fine leg for 6 runs. A third maximum for Nabi. He gets inside the line of the ball, and shovels this very fine over the fence for six. Used the pace of the ball to carry it all the way.

  • 13.5

    APPEAL! Blessing Muzarabani to Mohammad Nabi. Short, outside off stump backing away pulling, hit body to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Taylor, appeal made for Caught. Appeal for the catch behind, but the ball comes off the right arm of Nabi on the way through to the keeper. Correctly given not out.

Shafiqullah leans back and swats it away to the square leg boundary. Suddenly Afghanistan are roaring their way to victory.

  • 12.5

    SIX! Ryan Burl to Mohammad Nabi. Leg spinner half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Biggest of the night! Nabi pings one off the middle and it travels miles out the ground! Right in the slot from Burl, and a nice free swing from the batsman.

    APPEAL! Ryan Burl to Shafiqullah. Leg spinner length ball, middle stump on the front foot working, hit pad back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Burl, appeal made for L.B.W. Huge appeal, but turned down by the umpire. This is a very tight call. Perhaps some bat invovled, and maybe going down leg. Hard to see on the replay.

    Najibullah Zadran c Brendan Taylor b Blessing Muzarabani 0 (4)

    OUT! Caught. Blessing Muzarabani to Najibullah Zadran. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pushing, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Taylor. Could there be a twist in the tale? Najibullah feels for it away from the body, and nicks through to the keeper! Lovely bowling from Muzarabani, hitting the deck hard and getting it to nip away. Still a lot to do for the hosts.

  • 11.4

    Sharafuddin Ashraf lbw b Ryan Burl 18 (15)

    OUT! L.B.W. Ryan Burl to Sharafuddin Ashraf. Leg spinner length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. Burl nips in with a wicket. The part-time leg spinner skids it past the inside edge, with Sharafuddin playing for the turn. Impact is in front of middle, and it would've crashed into leg stump.
