Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That wraps up our coverage for this game. Until next time, it's goodbye!

Nabi, Player of the Match: Really good position when I went into bat. Straightaway playing the spinners. Pitch was really good. Need more than 190. 160-170 would've been chaseable.

Afghan: T20s are very important for us with the World Cup coming. Morale is high if you win. Today Karim and Usman partnership was really good.

Williams: Very disappointed. Thought we started off well. The opening spells from the bowlers were reasonably good. But getting two overs that were hit for more than 20 hurt us really badly. Then losing four wickets in the powerplay also a big blow. Can go back and look at the shot selection including myself. When you lose like this it's important about how you get back up. Winning a game from here and then getting on the plane will be a huge thing for us. Maybe there's a possibility of that happening, it's been discussed (him moving up the order along with Raza)

17:19 Local Time, 13:19 GMT, 18:49 IST: Afghanistan seal the series 2-0 with a game to go. Too strong with both bat and ball yet again. Faced with their second 190-plus target in as many games, Zimbabwe tried to change their approach today in that they were much more aggressive right from the start. However, while it helped in keeping abreast with the asking rate, it also led to a flurry of wickets. They were 56/5 in the seventh over, with the chase threatening to fall apart rather quickly. An onslaught from Ryan Burl raised fresh enthusiasm in the dugout, but Rashid Khan eventually came out on top in that battle with the left-hander after copping some punishment earlier. All in all another comfortable win for the hosts.

Karim Janat to Muzarabani, out Bowled!! That's the end of that. Janat finishes things off with an inch perfect yorker that Muzarabani fails to dig out. The stumps are shattered. Muzarabani b Karim Janat 0(1)

Karim Janat to Muzarabani, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Richard Ngarava, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Rashid Khan to Tiripano, out Bowled!! Too late on this reverse-sweep. Rashid has pushed it through quicker on a length and the ball fizzes through to take out off stump. Tiripano b Rashid Khan 24(14) [4s-3 6s-1]

Rashid Khan to Tiripano, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Rashid Khan to Tiripano, no run, skidding through on middle, back of a length, rushes Tiripano as he nudges into the on-side. Muzarabani comes charging down for a single but Tiripano isn't interested at all. The tall quick has to turn back and scamper

Rashid Khan to Tiripano, SIX, Tiripano goes back in the crease to pounce on a rare half-tracker. Deposits it into the grass banks

Blessing Muzarabani, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Rashid Khan to Brandon Mavuta, out Caught by Naveen-ul-Haq!! Rashid strikes again. Turning the game decisively in favour of Afghanistan. Mavuta seems to have hit this slog-sweep nicely, but it's gone flat and straight to long-on. Brandon Mavuta c Naveen-ul-Haq b Rashid Khan 0(1)

Rashid Khan to Brandon Mavuta, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Rashid Khan to Tiripano, 1 run, pulls the googly to deep square leg

Rashid Khan to Ryan Burl, out Caught by Usman Ghani!! Rashid has the last laugh in this contest with Burl after being hammered for a couple of sixes by the left-hander earlier. He sends him off warmly, with an arm around his shoulder. Good to see. This is a googly outside off from round the wicket, Burl employs the trusted slog-sweep again which has proven fruitful so far. But this time he miscues it to deep midwicket, because he's had to fetch it from quite wide. Ryan Burl c Usman Ghani b Rashid Khan 40(29) [4s-1 6s-3]

Rashid Khan to Ryan Burl, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Rashid Khan [2.0-0-23-0] is back into the attack
