Scorer: Binoy George | Commentator: Venkat Raghav

Thanks for your company today and please do join for the final game of the series. Till then, good night from all of us here

Ibrahim Zadran is the Player of the match: The wicket was much better for batting today and I decided that I would play my natural game. I really enjoy batting with Rahmat Shah. I can play my shots with him around me.

Hashmatullah Shahidi, Afghanistan captain: The team is playing very well and I am very happy with that. We are trying to get 30 points from this series. We got 20 points. If we get 10 more we can move to the second position in the table

Craig Ervine, Zimbabwe captain: We know that the conditions become better in the afternoon session. We got starts but couldn't kick on. We knew that 260-270 was going to be par. We knew that facing the new ball would be a challenge. A match can change in 5 overs, we have shown that today

Zimbabwe would've noticed how the Afghanistan batters went about their job. The middle-order batters of Zimbabwe, all of them, got a start but couldn't quite kick on. While Ryan Burl got a half-century, it was in the company of the last two batters. He could've probably done better with one of the batters from the middle-order

Afghanistan, through the partnership of Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah, show to Zimbabwe what might have been! Though they were a wicket down, Ibrahim Zadran went after the bowlers in the powerplay. While Rahmat Shah settled in, Ibrahim Zadran was the aggressor and when Ibrahim Zadran slowed down a touch in sight of a milestone, Rahmat Shah attacked the bowlers. Rahmat Shah got within touching distance of a century, but fell before getting one, like in the first game

Farhad: "Might be Afghanistan's first ever inning without a SIX "This is the list of their innings wihout a six, Farhad
