Afghanistan win by 21 runs. Zimbabwe were in the chase from the beginning, good partnership between Kaia and Marumani, then from Kaia and Sikandar Raza and it looked like they were heading for a victory, but then Rashid Khan gets Raza and Burl in one over to stop Zimbabwe's chances. Fazalhaq Farooqi also was very good with the ball, kept bowling yorkers, who is also the Player of the Match, 4 overs for 19 runs and a wicket. Thanks for tuning in, do join us again for the last of the T20's.

Sifat Khawry : "That last over from Rashid..! Hats off Mr. Game Changer.!!"
