00:00very good start good start that's what i'm talking about
00:20okay local toss down leg side and good buzz opens his boundary count
00:25oh that's a big one it's a big one and it's a big one early
00:35watch out cameraman number three
00:41excellent footwork coming down the pitch to spinner he's one of the betters in the up ground ranks
00:46who likes to use his feet six and t20 internationals and this one through the offside
00:52so the use of the feet getting down the ground has forced him to bowl it shorter in length
01:02this one goes fine it's going to run away i think it might be leg buys no it's not it's four
01:08yeah good length oh that's unfortunate it's gone away from a poster that delivery didn't deserve
01:19to go for a boundary
01:23top edge third is up at short third so another boundary
01:28slapped away as he's done all the way through the series just gives himself a bit of room
01:40oh now that is even better
01:44it's too short for mapossa on a surface that is this good
01:47this time offside and if there's anybody who could have got to that ball it's a kander raza and the fourth over
01:59and that is just a little dab wide of short third for a boundary so that 50 comes up
02:05oh he's picked that one up that should go for six it does minimum of effort this uh zimbabwe bowling attack
02:19have a look at this low risk high reward
02:26right this is going to take some catching this is going to take some catching
02:30oh he's put it down
02:35manula gurbas this time around just trying to continue the sort of a momentum he's been at this
02:41was high in the air had a lot of time had to just move backward that's why i think he lost his balance
02:45just a little bit still had it still had it a couple of efforts and fell down to the ground
02:51you all just stood
02:52yeah the boundaries continue to come off the bat of the afghan batters
03:02and it just continues this will run down to the boundary
03:06they are just dealing in boundaries the afghanistan batters and you said it
03:12well that's gone through the field and that's going to be
03:15the first boundary in this second as a spell 29
03:23cuts
03:26the rage is a half century it's been a wonderful half century from gurbas
03:3211th in t20 internationals
03:36coming into the tournament within this series a lot of expectation of delivering he's been getting
03:41stats for today converting into half century of just 30 deliveries five fours and two sixes the fielding
03:47unit it's really down nicely punched through the offside to raise a half century a very very
03:53impressive half century from ibrahim amazing consistency from afghanistan's acting captain today
04:0213th in t20 internationals
04:04the excellent strike rate of 138 and he's played some outstanding strokes seven beautiful fours
04:18this one should go for four and it does perfect start
04:26smashed down the ground that'll be four so it was 27 balls
04:35oh that is not the right length it's two full
04:40and gurbas will not hesitate to take him downtown
04:46take it oh this time over extra he's got a hand on a dion maias
04:50but it's going to run away for four four boundary shots
04:56wow make that five
05:00gurbas is on fire here at urari sports club
05:04rahmallah gurbas it's the second six of this over
05:08and the ball is gone out of the park
05:14he goes short and this will go for six
05:17it has been a huge over the 14th from afghanistan 30 runs from it 150 comes up as well 151 for none
05:28he's gone up and over the offside raza's getting under the it'll be a great catch and it is outstanding
05:39from the zimbabwean captain seconda raza
05:41you have no idea how difficult a catch to take that is he couldn't clear the intent of zikanda raza
05:50slower ball didn't get the timing right got the elevation and back paddling zikanda raza just
05:55skipped his eye on the ball and took a brilliant catch that is a blinder you can't keep that one over
06:03and that is brad evans has uh gotten
06:06the other open is wicked ibrahim zadran looking to play the ramp shot getting inside of it but it's the
06:14slower delivery
06:15not sure if it was necessary
06:25i guess that's why he's out there into the change room some shocked
06:30taking a while to get a boundary access over that offside but just the distance he gets here
06:39suggests that uh zimbabwe
06:44is in line and length and it's a little tickle around the corner for yet another boundary
06:50punch through the offside
06:53heaved big boundary not big enough on the grass embankment for yet a half a
06:59dozen again in the over high enough so he's able to really extend through it towards that
07:06big boundary towards the grass embankment two sixes off this gotta have a over
07:13there's still two deliveries coming in cold
07:17and could he pick up his first wicket
07:21oh he's been put down clive madande who is a witty keeper
07:26just the slow delivery to start the over from my boss so shahid is through the shot early and clive
07:39and he jumps all over this
07:42safest part of the ground straight down
07:44this is height again anyone bennett yes sets off early and takes a comfortable catch
07:57front line this again it's the slower delivery looking to heave it into the gap between car
08:03corner and long on and brian bennett running in about 35 yards takes a good catch
08:11oh has he got all of it just one bounce for final delivery low full toss low full toss all the way for
08:21six i think it's on the roof misses his line misses his length and ends the innings emphatically
08:3014 runs off that final over even though there's a wicked in it but two boundaries with the bat and
08:37this is how they finish it really classy little innings from serikula wonderful partnership gorbas
08:46top scores with 92 from 48 and ibrahim zadran 60 from 49 and then serikula atal was explosive
08:55bowlers struggled this afternoon weddington masakadze 11 and over and got over 10 and over
09:01one wicket for him evans two wickets for 33. for rookie to bennett
09:07bit of swing
09:10he's got the ability to swing the ball around and that's why he's been chosen over the rest of the
09:15bowlers
09:15zimbabwe's away i think it'll be accredited as runs it is by percival senzara
09:24unbezzled
09:34trouble because dion myers is out
09:40that dion myers was short of his ground when you look at the appeal when it happened
09:44kudos to langton rosere who said let's go upstairs and take a closer look
09:54unfortunately of getting out
09:58took his time into the stumps before he could put his bat down
10:03brendan taylor closes the bat on the point of contact and presents a simple catch
10:20and he'll be disappointed with that mode of dismissal
10:26oh he's taking him on immediately as the gun that has that's not off the middle of the bat
10:31but this is a fast outfield and it might just get to the boundary
10:39that's the missed field and it's gone through and second boundary and it's over for zimbabwe
10:47oh that is even better that is much better that's the ideal outcome for zimbabwe as brian bennett
10:56gets the first six and it's about winnings the innovation and perfect timing takes it outside of
11:04the advertisement cushion we'll have to wait for the decision has already adjudicated a maximum it is
11:11the first six of these zimbabwean innings to take him on and as i say that siganda raza smashes it
11:19over the top towards uh mid on to finish the power play with a boundary
11:28this time he's hit the middle and this time it's one bounce and over the boundary
11:34it's very unfair that it bounced before the boundary because the kind of shot it is
11:37and he's hit this one as well but there is protection out there oh it's a missed field
11:46it is the missed field and siganda raza gets another boundary to finish another over
11:54he's got underneath this one and he's gotten it fine
11:58he closes out another over there's the third in a row that he's done this with a boundary
12:03innovation fine connection using the pace of the delivery a lot of this so you haven't seen a lot
12:11of this in the recent past bringing a different dimension
12:19lovely shot in this series for the host team big shot massive go get it in the tennis courts
12:28oh he's picked the bones out of that stroke to perfection half tracker
12:36and smacked it shades of tendulkar hitting and you caddy in the icc odi world cup at durban
12:44yeah he's picked this length up very quick
12:47over cover now oh raza's into it abdullah
13:00oh fetch it oh it's massive
13:07huge shot here by sakanda raza sports club
13:10great connection superb timing it's too good for tony munyonga
13:19full toss through the gap flat as you like
13:27that'll be 50. make that 51. he's right now he's batted superbly he's been aggressive
13:37and that is number 16 for sakanda raza welcoming to the crease at a difficult moment when things are
13:45not going in their favor he has delivered a fine performance once again 51 he's known for his ability
13:52to chase down big scores against high quality oppositions once again dissing out an entertaining half
13:59chance no oh my i think it's come off the pad i think it comes off the pad and then on to the stumps yes
14:15some teams some teams
14:24oh it's a fish nearly a return catch but it runs away for four won't stop bennett i was just going to say
14:32hey favorite area somewhere into the band some shock
14:46girl had a forgettable day with ball in hand going for 30 runs in singapore
14:51india picked up and bluttoned it down field for six
14:55oh it's an area he enjoys leg side between long
15:03oh chance chance and taken
15:08looking to clear the middle fielder brian bennett
15:12it's a hard length delivery that bennett's not able to get the elevation he was looking for
15:18and get the elevation down the ground ryan burl not often you see him go over the offside he's connected
15:30this one beautifully sets up the over beautifully two off the first ball and then a good clean strike
15:37and run hard he's gone again has he got enough yes he does ryan burl is keeping zimbabwe's chase
15:50alive 142 for four six off the final delivery in this navi over so two sixes in that over the wickets
15:59turn ones into twos he's picked that one up
16:03he's not thinking about ones and twos darling to hit that pickup over backwards square leg
16:13again he clears the boundary effortless
16:17oh ryan burl it's in the air will it go all the way yes it will it's got just enough legs three
16:25deliveries this one is the leg spinner and ryan bills picked it and helped it over the boundary
16:34yeah bolding he's gone across the line ryan bill
16:40was it necessary at this stage it was 36 from 17 and he's gotten one to just get past the inside edge of
16:49ryan bills but is that through the gap yes it is it's needed
16:55it repeats itself bolden doesn't get more emphatic than that
17:05he's at the stump and gets it right with the angle that he's bowling around the wicket comes in back to
17:15mujib
17:16oh he's picked this up he's got some of it one bounce for four and hope
17:27outside edge and what a catch what a catch
17:30kurvas moving lights to his right one-handed kurvas look at that
17:41he took a good chunk off the bat and what a take that is from rahmanullah kurvas
17:46he's already seen a blinder from the skipper seconder raza
17:53is that a boundary
17:55yes it is it is but two wickets in the over two big wickets in the over
18:01inch but he's a cricket league
18:06hello and goodbye that's gonna help things moving in the right direction

18:22one-handed oh there's a fielder and gone the hopes as well
18:31yeah just didn't read the pace on that was too early in his shot could only manage

19:02round the corner oh he's hung on mujib the final delivery
