Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe, 1st T20I at Sharjah, , Jan 08 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary

full and wide, slices it high over the off side, he's hit it well, and... and he's found the man at deep cover. Simple catch at chest height for Gulbadin Naib, and he tumbles to his left as he completes it

wide yorker a long way outside off, looks to squeeze it behind point, and he can't connect. It isn't far from the wide tramline, but it isn't called wide. Phew. Quite a tight call, that

full outside off, and Jongwe shaves four more runs off the target, slicing it away over backward point and there's no stopping that

short ball, long-hop, and Jongwe has pulled that over midwicket and out of the ground. I don't know how many balls have been lost in this match, I've lost count

another high full-toss, this one is at the batsman, and he swings across the line and top-edges it high and it's caught by the keeper. They check replays to see if it's over waist high, and it definitely is. Another no-ball. I'm wondering how he's being allowed to continue this over. Two high full-tosses normally means you can't bowl anymore, right?

slower ball, full and wide outside off, jabbed away to point to bring Waller on strike

sets himself up deep in his crease and Dawlat bowls it full and wide. Slices it up in the air and is caught at sweeper cover. They chance a second run even though it's gone straight to the fielder, and the throw is good and flat, catches Chigumbura well short as he tries to dive into the crease. It's all happening here

is that the dew? It's a high full-toss outside off, seemed to slip out of his hand, definitely over waist high, and he concedes a no-ball even as Chigumbura swings and misses

looks for the wide yorker, and it's just a touch too wide to be a legal delivery. Puts his hand up to pacify Shahzad

down the track to the slowly tossed-up ball outside off, can't get any elevation on it, too close to the pitch of it, drives to long-off for a single

down the track, converts this tossed-up ball into a full-toss, and meets it with a straight bat and easily clears long-on. Such a clean strike

tossed up wide of off stump, sliced over the top, and Rashid, running in from the cover point boundary, drops a low catch

down the track, boom, out of the ground! It lands in the perfect spot for that shot, outside off, not too full, and he can go with the turn and clout that over wide long-on

keeps a bit low again as he jumps down the pitch and looks to slog across the line, hits his back leg and rolls away into the off side. Appeal for lbw, but that seemed to strike him outside the line

shortish outside off, keeps a bit low to sneak under the attempted pull

fired in quick into the pads, hits the front pad outside leg as he misses the clip into the leg side, rolls away through backward point

stumped, gone. Jumps down the pitch and slogs across the line. It's the straighter one, fired in, beats the inside edge, Shahzad collects down the leg side and has the bails off in a flash

nice change of pace, slow and loopy outside off, sneaks under the attempted flat-bat drive, maybe off the bottom edge, and Shahzad gets up too early, hits him on the pad and ricochets into the off side. They sneak a quick single

flat length ball outside off, slapped to sweeper cover

fired in flat again, much fuller, and the ball goes under Waller's attempted heave and hits his back leg outside leg stump
