Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe , Match 2 at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi , ODI Tri-Series in UAE, 2026 , Oct 19, 2026 Scorecard

49.6: Brad Evans to Ziaur Rahman, OUT! ZIAUR IS RUN OUT! Full by Evans, around the off stump. Rahman stays deep inside the crease and clears the front leg. Heaves it off the inner half of the bat to deep mid-wicket and they push hard for the second run. But Wessly Madhevere is quick to attack the ball from the deep and unleashes a flat throw to the batting end, where Ziaur is backing up too far. Brendan Taylor collects the throw by standing beside the stumps and dislodges the bails in a flash. Afghanistan are bowled out on 294 after 50 overs.

49.5: Brad Evans to Ziaur Rahman, Bashes the length hard, outside off, Ziaur swings the bat like a rusty gate, but fails to get any sort of connection. This is proving to be a superb final over for Zimbabwe.

49.4: Brad Evans to Fazalhaq Farooqi, Back of a length, angled down leg. Farooqi shifts across and attempts the pull, only to miss. The keeper, Taylor, spills it to his left, gifting away a bye.

49.3: Brad Evans to Fazalhaq Farooqi, Swing and a miss! Short of a length and around off. Farooqi looks to pull but gets beaten due to the extra bounce.

49.2: Brad Evans to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! CAUGHT BY SIKANDAR! Evans continues to have a productive tri-series with the ball. A four-for against Bangladesh and now a three-wicket haul. Bowls a full delivery, outside off, Nabi clears the front leg and attempts to thump it over long off, but the ball gets sliced off the toe end. As a result, Nabi gets more height than distance. Raza runs in a few steps from long off and almost misjudges the trajectory, but takes a fine catch in the end. Afghanistan are 292/9, with four balls left.

49.1: Brad Evans to Mohammad Nabi, Good running between the wickets! Angling in, full and on the bodyline, Nabi flicks it away to the right of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

48.6: Blessing Muzarabani to AM Ghazanfar, OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Wicket number two for Muzarabani. He digs in another bumper, on the top of off and extracts good lift from the surface. AM Ghazanfar stands tall and tries to hook it over square leg but the ball gets big on him and he only manages to get a top edge. It spoons up over mid on and Wellington Masakadza lurks underneath it to complete a straightforward catch. Afghanistan are 290/8.

48.5: Blessing Muzarabani to AM Ghazanfar, Beaten again! Smart bowling by Muzarabani. At pace now, slammed hard into the pitch, outside off, AM Ghazanfar looks to carve it over the point region but gets comprehensively beaten by pace and bounce.

48.4: Blessing Muzarabani to AM Ghazanfar, Swing and a miss! Another slower one, outside off on a good length, Ghazanfar swings across the line to pull but fails to connect.

48.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Mohammad Nabi, Pace-off delivery, on a length and outside off, Nabi waits back and cuts it behind backward point for a single.

48.2: Blessing Muzarabani to AM Ghazanfar, Back of a length, on off, Ghazanfar backs away and knocks it wide of mid off for a single.

48.1: Blessing Muzarabani to AM Ghazanfar, FOUR! Up and over! Short one by Blessing, on middle, angling into the body. AM Ghazanfar looks to pull but gets a massive top edge, getting rushed on the shot. It clears mid on and trickles into the long on fence for a four.

47.6: Brad Evans to AM Ghazanfar, Good length, on the pads, AM Ghazanfar works this to mid-wicket for a run. 

47.5: Brad Evans to Rashid Khan, OUT! TIMBER TIME! Slower one, bowled fuller and on the off-pole, Rashid Khan completely loses his body shape as he looks to tonk this big and far over the leg side. But he doesn't pick the slower one and the ball sneaks past Rashid's bat to clatter into the off-pole. Evans and Rashid both exchange smirky smiles with the former picking up his second wicket. Afghanistan are now 283 for 7. 

47.4: Brad Evans to Rashid Khan, Second bumper of the over by Brad Evans, on off this time, Rashid Khan doesn't back off and goes for the pull but misses out again. 

47.3: Brad Evans to Rashid Khan, Well-directed bumper, on middle and off, Rashid Khan goes for the pull but misses out.
