Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jarvis to Aftab Alam, out Caught by Brendan Taylor!! Afghanistan are falling apart! It's Aftab Alam who's walking back for a duck. Miscues that shortish delivery. Taylor calls for it and takes the skier before he almost spills out. Aftab Alam c Brendan Taylor b Jarvis 0(1)

Jarvis to Rashid Khan, out Caught by Muzarabani!! Procession of wickets continues. This is a tremendous comeback by Zimbabwe. Short and slow outside off, Rashid Khan moves in and pulls it hard, but it's the fielder at fine leg who takes the catch and denies Rashid a boundary. Rashid Khan c Muzarabani b Jarvis 0(3)

Chatara to Sharafuddin Ashraf, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Another wicket - that's the third one of the over. Burls takes a screamer in the deep and manages to stay inside the fence. It was a short delivery that was pulled hard by Sharafuddin Ashraf and the fielder at the fence did an even better job to hold onto it. Sharafuddin Ashraf c Ryan Burl b Chatara 1(3)

Chatara to Nabi, out Caught by Waller!! Nabi departs after a blitzkrieg! Throws his hands at the widish delivery but fails to clear the fence at covers. Good running catch by Waller in the deep. These late blows will make some difference in the end score. Nabi c Waller b Chatara 45(26) [4s-2 6s-4]

Chatara to Shafiqullah, out Caught by Raza!! Duck for Shafiqullah, quack quack. Tries to smoke the full toss over the long-on fence but finds the fielder there. Easy catch for the man in the deep. Shafiqullah c Raza b Chatara 0(1)

Muzarabani to Nabi, SIX, stand and deliver! Makes room and slaughters the short of a length delivery over long-off this time around. Nobody can stop him when he's in such form

Muzarabani to Nabi, SIX, that's outta here! Picks the bones out of the length delivery and sends it sailing over the square leg fence. High and handsome! Played a similar knock yesterday, did Mohammad Nabi. Class!

Muzarabani to Nabi, FOUR, boundaries continue to flow! Short delivery on middle and leg, Nabi pulls it through square leg and gets another boundary

Muzarabani to Najibullah, out Caught by Ryan Burl!! Shortish delivery around off, Najibullah goes for the pull. Gets the elevation but not the distance and Burl is the man at deep mid-wicket who gulps it down. Cameo by the southpaw comes to an end. Najibullah c Ryan Burl b Muzarabani 24(18) [4s-4]

Chatara to Najibullah, wide, the partnership between Najibullah and Nabi is now 50! Short but well outside off, goes for an upper cut, can't connect though

Chatara to Najibullah, FOUR, clubbed! Clears his front leg and flays the shortish delivery over mid-off. Races away to the fence at the rate of knots

Muzarabani to Najibullah, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! Short and wide outside off, goes aerial and carves it over cover-point. Getting a move on is the aggressive middle-order batsman

Muzarabani to Najibullah, FOUR, fielder makes a mess of that! Over-runs and lets it away to the fence. It was a short delivery that was pulled hard over mid-wicket. Solomon Mire, the culprit

Jarvis to Najibullah, FOUR, shot boy! Picks the slower delivery and pummels it over the bowler's head. Strong bottom hand!

Cremer to Nabi, SIX, monster hit! Gets hold of the tossed up delivery, stands tall and smokes it over mid-wicket for half a dozen. That came right off the meat

Cremer to Nabi, FOUR, that's thrashed! Short and flat outside off, Nabi camps back, uses the depth of the crease and smacks it through the gap at covers. Long-off gives it a chase, but fails to save it

Ryan Burl to Nabi, SIX, cashes in on the flight with a big loft straight down the ground. So big that we nearly needed a replacement ball.. But they've found it (damn)

Cremer to Sadiq, out Stumped!! Nobody's deserved this more than Cremer tonight. Gets the leg break ripping away as Sadiq comes down the track and misses this intended loft over covers. Easy for the keeper. Sadiq st Brendan Taylor b Cremer 28(30) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ryan Burl to Sadiq, FOUR, gorgeously comes down the track and wrists it through long-on

Cremer to Stanikzai, out Bowled!! Lovely piece of bowling. Puts the extra revvs on the ball and gets it to dip, deceiving Stanikzai totally on his run down the track. Through his slog. Stanikzai b Cremer 27(14) [4s-1 6s-3]

Raza to Stanikzai, SIX, fires it across Stanikzai, who charges out and lifts it over mid-off. 53-run stand off only 30 balls

Raza to Stanikzai, SIX, this one was hittable. Flighted way too much, Stanikzai comes down the track and mauls it over the cow corner

Muzarabani to Stanikzai, FOUR, slogs it high, fielder runs around from deep mid-wicket but is in no position to take this on the ropes. Ends up sliding into a dive and letting the ball through

Muzarabani to Sadiq, SIX, that's outta here. Off the front foot and this has been clubbed over long-on with utter disdain

Chatara to Sadiq, FOUR, short and wide, he stays put and directs it uppishly to third man

Muzarabani to Stanikzai, SIX, makes room and lofts it over long-off

Muzarabani to Mohammad Shahzad, out Caught by Jarvis!! Goes for the big cross-batted shot, skews it off the cue end and mid-on moves back to pouch it. Mohammad Shahzad c Jarvis b Muzarabani 17(22) [4s-3]

Jarvis to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, looked early into the upper tap, so much so that the one hand came off the handle. Finds the gap through third man nonetheless

Chatara to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, follows it up with a full ball, Mohammad Shahzad makes room to clear cover and top-edges it over the lone slipper

Jarvis to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, fine leg up, and this swivel-pull runs to fine leg
