Key Stats
14.5 Kyle Jarvis to Mohammad Nabi
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.
