📰 Match Summary:
Zimbabwe started confidently with Raza leading from the front after winning the toss. However, Rashid Khan’s tactical brilliance and disciplined bowling from Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fareed Ahmad restricted Zimbabwe’s run flow in the middle overs.
Brendan Taylor and Ryan Burl tried to stabilize the innings, but wickets at regular intervals kept Zimbabwe under pressure. They eventually posted a modest total on the board.
In reply, Afghanistan’s openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran gave the team a flying start. Despite losing a few quick wickets, Shahidullah Kamal and Mohammad Nabi ensured a comfortable chase, guiding Afghanistan home with overs to spare and sealing another dominant victory.
