ZIM Batting T Musekiwa 16(13) W Masakadza 6(2)

1
19.6: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, Oh, he's done it! Tashinga Musekiwa has only gone and done it! Azmatullah Omarzai hones in at the stumps, looking for the yorker but Musekiwa manages to stay deep and jam it out past the fielder at silly mid on and they cross for the winning run. Zimbabwe WIN BY 4 WICKETS!

2
19.5: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, Scores are level and the crowd is going wild! Hard length over middle, Musekiwa keeps his shape and short-arm jabs it across through the mid-wicket region and into the deep for two. Super-over on the cards? Let's find out...

0
19.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, Loud appeal for caught behind but turned down, it is a dot ball though. Short ball, bowled at a brisk pace and over middle, Musekiwa is taken by surprise and misses the ball as he looks to pull.

2
19.3: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, How has that not been a run out! Azmatullah Omarzai nails the yorker now and Tashinga Musekiwa jams it out straight to long off for one and they even go for the second which is never on. Darwish Rasooli though with a weak throw at the keeper's end and Musekiwa dives in to safety. 3 needed off 3!

2
19.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, The call is for two and they get it with ease! Looks to spear in the yorker at the toes but misses the mark, Musekiwa manages to jam it down just wide of long on and picks up a couple of runs.

4
19.1: Azmatullah Omarzai to Tashinga Musekiwa, FOUR! Wow, what a shot and what a time to hit it as well. Slower one, on a hard length and outside off, Tashinga Musekiwa is early to move across the off stump and hammers it high and in between deep mid-wicket and long on for a boundary. Just 7 needed now off 5.

End of over 19

18.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Wessly Madhevere, OUT! CAUGHT! Smart bowling from Naveen-ul-Haq and Afghanistan are inching closer to the finish line now. Naveen takes pace off by rolling his fingers over the ball and floats it full and wide. Wessly Madhevere backs away to go big but is early in the lofted shot and ends up hitting it down to long off where Rashid Khan takes a simple catch. 17 needed now off 8 balls.

1
18.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Tashinga Musekiwa, Full and straight, right in the blockhole, Tashinga Musekiwa can only manage to jam it down to long on. Mohammad Nabi attacks it well in the field and it will be just a single.

2
18.2: Naveen-ul-Haq to Tashinga Musekiwa, Brilliant running but Rashid Khan a bit lazy there in the field. Goes full and wide again, Tashinga Musekiwa hangs back and crunches it wide of long off for a couple of runs.
