Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, 4th ODI at Bulawayo, Oct 22 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Afghanistan won by 3 wickets (with 20 balls remaining)
4.30pm Afghanistan have overturned a low total by Zimbabwe, winning by three wickets with more than three overs to spare, but this chase has not been without its moments of alarm. They were cruising when Mohammad Shahzad was at the crease, but when he was dismissed for 80 the Zimbabwean spinners suddenly seemed to be bowling with much more menace. Afghanistan laboured over the latter stages of their chase, but the important thing is that they got over the line, and now it's 2-2 with one game to play! One can't help but wonder how much closer this game might have been had Zimbabwe's batsmen provided some support to Sikandar Raza to get the side over 200. Spin certainly played a leading role today, with scoring quite difficult this afternoon.
Mohammad Shahzad is Man of the Match for his 80 which set up Afghanistan's chase.
