15.4 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Raza has taken a blinder to dismiss Gurbaz there! What a brilliant innings, and it took an outstanding effort from the Zimbabwean captain, Sikandar Raza, to end it! It was a full, slower ball from around the wicket. Gurbaz misjudged the pace, sending the ball off the outside part of his bat over extra cover. Raza had to cover a significant distance, sprinting back toward the ropes from the inner ring. He launched into a full, sliding dive and gobbled up the catch with both hands. Gurbaz squats down in disbelief, waiting for a few seconds to confirm the clean catch before finally walking slowly back to the dugout.. 159/1
403328.25102121
16.3 to Ibrahim Zadran, Slower ball does the trick again! Zadran tries to go for the ramp scoop there, shuffles across early against a fuller length ball and mistimes the stroke; he did not get any pace to work with. In the end, he only managed to drag it onto the stumps and uprooted the middle stump! Evans applauded the innings of Zadran with a smiling face.. 163/2
19.3 to Shahidullah, Change of pace ball on the off stump line angling in on the stumps, clears the front leg and goes for the big slog sweep, mishits the stroke, and skies it high towards the midwicket area. Bennett comes forward sprinting in from the boundary area and completes the catch with the reverse cup technique.. 199/3

2.5 to BRM Taylor, Taylor chips it to mid-on! Hard length ball angling in on the stumps, plays off the front foot and tries to clear the in-field, closes the face of the bat early and only manages to loft it towards mid-on for a simple catch.. 19/2
18.4 to T Musekiwa, Slower delivery, swings it away and finds the man at deep midwicket! Change of pace delivery pitching outside off, throws his bat at it and hits the inner part of the bat, but he did not get enough elevation or distance to get the half a dozen runs he was searching for. Shahid comes forward a few steps and completes the catch.. 190/8
403017.50121120
15.4 to RP Burl, Cleaned him up with the arm ball! Quicker good length ball on the stumps, Burl tries to go downtown again, plays with the cross bat but this time inside edges the ball onto the stumps. A brilliant cameo finally comes to an end.. 162/5
3038212.6656100
17.1 to C Madande, Rattled the furniture with a peach! Hard length ball angling in from around the wicket, Madande goes for the big slog sweep and does not connect, plays down the wrong line, squares him up and breaks the stumps.. 172/6
17.5 to B Evans, Gurbaz grabs a screamer! It was a length ball angling in from outside off, and the batter threw his bat at it, producing a thick outside edge toward the vacant first slip area. Gurbaz flew to his right and grabbed it with his right hand, holding on to complete an absolutely stunning catch!. 178/7

12.5 to BJ Bennett, Bennett departs! Hard length ball angling in on middle-leg, backs away early to make room, tries to carve it over the in-field but does not get enough room to clear the in-field, struck the ball flat and straight to mid-off at the edge of the circle.. 126/4
19.2 to TT Maposa, Sandshoe Crusher! That was a peach of a delivery from Ahmadzai! It was a fast, inswinging yorker aimed at the middle-leg stump. Maposa tried to stride forward for a big heave but completely misjudged the line and length. The ball crashed into the leg stump, sending the bails flying! Absolutely nothing the batter could do about that.. 192/9
19.6 to R Ngarava, So close, yet so far for Zimbabwe; it's heartbreak for the home team fans! Afghanistan clinches the three-match series with a decisive 3-0 clean sweep. Length on the pads, whips it away straight to the square leg fielder near the ropes. Mujeeb comes around and settles underneath, juggles a few times, and somehow manages to grab it.. 201/10
2028114.0041300
10.5 to Sikandar Raza, Oh, dear! What have you done, Sikandar Raza? A tossed up slower delivery on the leg stump line turning away, gets down on one knee and plays the sweep shot. The ball ricochets off the gloves, tickles off the pads, and rolls on towards the stumps! A soft dismissal in the end for the Zimbabwe skipper.. 104/3
