Afghanistan will be delighted for the way they have performed with the ball. It was a professional performance yet again. Despite resting Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveed Zadran, Azmatullah Omarzai bowled well with the new ball. However, as said earlier, it was the spin duo who troubled the hosts and as things stand, it is Afghanistan who are on top and could well clean sweep the series. Can Zimbabwe pull off something? Stay tuned.
Well, that was another abysmal batting performance Zimbabwe. They have struggled once again! Once, Afghanistan chose to bowl first, the pressure was on Zimbabwe right from the start knowing their batting performance. They started to crumble against AM Ghazanfar and Rashid Khan who overall took 8 wickets with the former registering a five fer. Sean Williams showed a lot of character for his fifty but still, overall, it was a struggle once again.
