Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, 3rd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Ngarava to Gurbaz, out Caught by Raza at long-off!! That's a screamer from the Zimbabwean skipper to get rid of the dangerous Gurbaz! Needed something like that someone to get rid of Gurbaz who was looking effortless out there. Gurbaz is down on his haunches - the disappointment on his face is evident as the hundred was there for the taking. Slower full delivery well outside off, Gurbaz shuffles across and goes for an expansive stroke downtown but ends up slicing it over extra cover. Raza covers a lot of ground from extra cover. He dives full length and takes it with his right hand before landing on the ground. He ran behind at great speed and kept his eyes at the ball before taking a blinder. End of a terrific knock from Gurbaz nonetheless. Gurbaz c Raza b Ngarava 92(48) [4s-8 6s-5]
