Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan, 1st ODI at Harare, ZIM vs AFG, Dec 17 2024 - Match Result

Now gets that inswinger going his way but that was a little too full as Raza presents the full face of the bat and dives to mid-off

On a length with some shape away from the batter, who shoulders arms

Length on off and middle, he defends

How has that missed the off stump? Wow! This one goes the other way as Ervine lines up a drive and is beaten on the inside edge. That was perilously close to off pole

Carrom ball on middle and leg, he squirts this off the inside half of the bat behind square with the keeper giving chase

Flatter length ball that drifts back into Raza sharply as he is rapped on the pad. The ball would have slid down leg

On a length just around off, Raza defends back to the bowler

Tossed up outside off, he defends to covers

Oh, wowza! Raza is beaten all ends up. That shapes back sharply back into Raza, who wanted to flick that away but is almost squared up and beaten on the inside edge

On a length well outside off, Raza shoulders arms

And another one! Omarzai is on a roll! Fuller-length ball around fourth stump shaping away late. Williams hangs his bat out, gets a thick outside edge and that's another easy catch for the keeper.

Fuller outside off, he digs this to point

Big, big appeal for lbw, not given. Omarzai can't believe it, but think that was sliding down leg. Was the inswinger that started from well outside off and came back in to rap Williams on the pad. Think that was doing too much

Two in two for Zimbabwe! Fuller in length around the fifth stump. Curran looks for an expansive drive but his feet don't go anywhere. Ends up getting a thick outside edge which is snapped up by the keeper with ease.

Huge appeal for lbw and the umpire agrees. Almost the perfect delivery from Ghazanfar. Was the carrom ball that goes on straight and catches Myers right in front of the stumps. He stayed back, and once he missed, that was always going to be plumb.

Again, quite short and wide, he cuts it this time straight to deep point

Good length ball on middle, Curran stays back and clips to short midwicket

Short and wide, he cuts this nicely to the right of deep point for a couple of runs

A touch short on off, he punches back to the bowler
