It hasn’t gone with the script at all for Zimbabwe in the ongoing white-ball series at home against Afghanistan. Having lost the three-match ODI series 3-0, the hosts came second in the first of the three-match T20I series and stare at a second consecutive series loss.

Afghanistan batters helped the visitors win a last-over thriller chasing down a score of 160. The two southpaws Hazratullah Zazai and Najibullah Zadran were the heroes for the Mohammad Nabi-led side as the duo played quickfire knocks of 45 and 44* respectively to take their side home.

Ryal Burl took three wickets for Zimbabwe, however, Zadran’s hitting at the end proved to be too good for the hosts.

Afghanistan will be looking to seal the series in the second game while Zimbabwe will eye their first win in the ongoing tour and give some tough competition to their opponents.
