The captain of Mohammad Rizwan, who is also the opener, tried his best to stay in the game but he was not supported by any other Pakistan batsmen. He himself made 74 runs but the difference here was that he used 61 balls scoring this score. Had he played a bit faster, Pakistan could have win the match too.

Pakistan needs to do some quick changes in the batting order. I think Muhammad Rizwan needs to check with Babar Azam that if he will perform well today good as an opener then well in good otherwise he needs to place him on the third number, one down. I think it might be more frequent for him because Siam Ayub is playing much better and he is in very good form. If Muhammad Rizwan and Saim Ayub will open the game then from both ends Pakistan will smash the runs. Siam Ayub plays modern cricket while Muhammad Rizwan uses strategy. In easy words, they both can hit a lot of boundaries and are able to give a lot of advantages to the team as an opener.

Yes, You are right Siam Ayub is aggressive bastman while Muhammad Rizwan captain of Pakistan team is play slow. if Pakistan wants to make itself strong and better in T20 then it has to send power hitter Saim Ayub in power play followed by Usman Khan batting Babar Azam at number three. This is the reason why the top teams like Australia, England using this formula, then have power hitter bastman for powerplay over and the last over of T20 match from 16 to 20. South Africa have power hitter bastman in opening pair and middle order like David Miller. Pakistan needs to changes batting order and result will be different i hope Pakistan team strong comeback in second T20 match and win it.

I do not know if the Pakistan team have the sense to change this batting order or will they stick to their original plan. Many times we see that that captain and team management is reluctant to make changes in the middle of the series. We will see today how Mohammad Rizwan will handle this game today.

Some changes expected in the South Africa squad. I was wondering why Anrich Nortje not be playing further in the series so came to know that he is having a toe injury in his left foot. I think Dayyaan Galiem will playing for this replacement.

Afghanistan, who lost last ball to Zimbabwe in the first match, will play the second T20 match of the series today against Zimbabwe where Afghanistan will look to win this match to level the series. On the other hand, since Zimbabwe won the first match, their only aim will be to win the second ODI match anyway. If Zimbabwe can somehow win in the second T20 match, they will secure the T20 series against Afghanistan with one match in hand.

In the first match, we saw that Zimbabwe got a good advantage by batting first, so their target will be to bat first in the second T20 match as well. We always know that the batting line is quite weak compared to the bowling line of Afghanistan, so if Afghanistan can be batted at the target then there is more chance of getting success there maybe Zimbabwe will want to take that opportunity.

Yeah Afghanistan lost the first match but that match was very close. Due to this, we cannot say which team would be favorite today. As far as Afghanistan is concerned they would be more aggressive today as they have not only to take the revenge of the last game but at the same time they can’t afford to lose because losing today means that they will lost the T20 Series.

Sikandar Raza , the captain of Zimbabwe team would be hoping that his batsmen play a better game today. Brian Bennett made a 49 in the first match and a lot would be expected of him. Dion Myers looked in good touch, hope he can again perform too.

I strongly agree with you that Pakistan needs some changes in their batting order. When Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam perform as opener and one of their two prominent players falls, it keeps pressure on the team. If someone else is selected along with Rizwan and if they can start well, then it is good and if they cannot, then if Babar Azam comes at that position, then the team will have a chance to recover. That is why it is better not to keep Babar Azam as an opener.

Pakistan's performance in the last match is not good because there was no good result from anyone except Rizwan and Saim Ayub. Although Rizwan batted well, he could not play according to the required run. Even though they came close to victory, they could not achieve. They collected very low score in 14,15,18 and 20 over those were the reasons to loss this match.

South Africa lost the first match but the big question is can Pakistan come back in this 2nd T20 game and make a win ? Is this even possible ?

It won’t be easy for the Pakistan to beat South Africa especially when SA have already won the first match and they would be high morale. The first match was a high scoring game so again we can expect the same in this match too. A lot of hopes are with Mohammad Rizwan and his team. If somehow Pakistan can win today, it will be a big boost for them.

I don't think that it was a one bad over that made the Afghanistan loss. In fact it was a poor batting performance that lead to this situation. The top order batsmen Rahmanullah Gurbaz , Sediqullah Atal and Mohammad Ishaq weren't able to make runs. The middle order batsmen played well to reach to a 140+ total but if these top order players had scored good too, then Afganistan could have managed to reach a total of 160 runs.

Afghanistan have a strong bowling attack and that is the reason they can defend even small totals. However, it is always better to make more than over par targets, so that the other team find it more difficult to chase.

Ngarava, Bennett and Musekiwa set up thrilling Zimbabwe win

With this win Zimbabwe are now 1-0 up in this series. 11 runs came in the last over that was bowled by Azmatullah Omarzai and it's Zimbabwe first win over Afghanistan in five years. Afghanistan started playing cricket much later as compared to Zimbabwe but they are now way ahead of Zimbabwe in performance as they have beaten top cricket teams. It's a moral boosting win for Zimbabwe and they now have chance to grab the T20 series.

Afghanistan has made a habit of losing close matches recently. But losing to Zimbabwe is going to hurt them a lot. Afghanistan need to prove that they are not at the same level as Zimbabwe. That said, losing the series will be even more disastrous. And after this series, they have an ODI series coming up, and after that there are two test matches scheduled at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Now the last one is the most important. If Afghanistan lose that one, then they will be in second division for some time to come.

Your post isn't clear here as you have misplaced the modifier. Anyway, it wasn't an easy victory for Zimbabwe. They were going to loss the match, but some dramatic changes happened in the last few overs. Afghanistan actually lost the match for the 15th over, Naveen-ul-Haq had given 19 runs in that over. Both Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan bowling was good in the match. The target wasn't big, one bad over had completely turned the game yesterday.

By the way, Afghanistan's target was not very big, because the target was not very big, Zimbabwe easily won the match against Afghanistan. Despite having the best spin bowlers like Mujibur Rahman and Rashid Khan, Zimbabwe cricket team managed to defeat Afghanistan.

Afghanistan team tried hard but they did not win against Zimbabwe but it was not their luck. Although Afghanistan team was able to bowl well towards the end but Zimbabwe team, and the game was very tough and Zimbabwe was under a lot of pressure at the last minute. But Afghanistan still could not beat Zimbabwe, it was mainly their misfortune but Zimbabwe team won because of their luck. Zimbabwe team was able to win by one run in the last ball which was really a very competitive game. Zimbabwe team won the first T20 match and they moved ahead in the series so Afghanistan must prepare well for the next match so that they can score more runs and win.

Afghanistan loss to Zimbabwe was very disappointing because they tried very hard but lost by just one run. Even though Afghanistan bowled very well at end they could not take advantage of pressure they put on Zimbabwe. Match was extremely competitive and Zimbabwe stayed calm to win on very last ball. Even though luck helped Zimbabwe win Afghanistan should focus on making their game plan and strategy better for next match. By learning from their mistakes and making changes Afghanistan can do better and tie series.

As zimbabwe batting and wicket keeping was at its best in this match, afghanistan disappointment was that they failed to take wickets. Initially, there was a lot of pressure on the bowling side of afghanistan due to which they could not stop the run side. In this match, afghanistan batting did not generate many runs due to which zimbabwe managed to win easily with a small target. It is true that the afghanistan team is constantly looking better than before but there will be losses and wins in the game. So don't be disappointed with this and have to correct your mistakes from this match.

Afghanistan's defeat in the first T20 match against Zimbabwe was really disappointing for Afghanistan. Zimbabwe may have been able to beat Afghanistan with their home ground advantage.

Zimbabwe International T20 cricket team won the first match by 4 wickets. That match was exciting match and both teams are of same level and we know that Afghanistan bowling is top class. Afghanistan batters could not do well in this match and they made 15 runs short and that is big reason of their loss in this match. Brian Bennett was awarded as player of match because he gave good effort in this match and he made 49 runs in 49 balls . Afghanistan openers could not give good start in this match and after that Karim Janat made important runs in this match . Mohammad Nabi also gave good effort in this match and he made 44 runs in 27 balls . The score was not big and that is big reason of Afghanistan International team lose in this match.

T20 format requires a balance between the ball and the runs. Afghanistan would not have been at this stage if their batsmen had been able to score a little more. Hazratullah Zazai made only 20 runs off 15 balls and Azmatullah made only 13 runs off 12 balls. These issues are now being blamed for the loss in the match. Not only that, if they could have done better on the bowling side, it would have been possible to prevent this score but they failed there too. They needed 11 runs in the last over which was difficult for the Zimbabwe team but they made that difficult task easy. If the good team cannot play well, then it cannot be said that the bad teams will not do well there. Zimbabwe has been performing well recently due to which they won the match against Pakistan and started their new series fight with a win against Afghanistan.

There should be some balance in the performance. When you mention the term balance it also suits the team batting second or the team chasing the target. They will also make plans according to the target and make a initial take off as well as move through out the match. Little more runs doesn't make any big change in the match result. Maybe something as 160+ runs could pressure the team chasing the target and cause loss of wickets.

Even Afghanistan batting were out of touch but still we have good balance into their performance which allow them to have from 58 for 5 to 144 in 20 over Mohammad Nabi and Karim Janat partnership give them good comeback with their bowlers also create good problems for the Zimbabwe in their chase even match was in control of the Afghanistan, but sadly we have 15th over from Naveen-UL-Haq bowled 6 wide and 1 no ball give good advantage to Zimbabwe, and they were able to secure their first win after 5 years against Afghanistan in this format.

As we have no good scorer from Zimbabwe all gone cheaply but Brian Bennett inning were good enough for having win but again 19th over from Naveen-UL-Haq end all hopes for the visitors to have win in this game.

Zimbabwe had the home advantage working for them. On top of that, nowadays batsmen have learnt how to deal with the Afghan spinners, such as Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan. This is the reason why Naveen-ul-Haq picked three wickets yesterday and Mujeeb went wicketless in four overs. Anyway, Afghanistan has two more matches, so there is a good chance that they can bounce back. Also, let's not downplay the contribution from Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani. These two bowled beautifully.

In such close matches, we cannot blame the loser team because the match could have gone either way. It was just not the Afghanistan day. Also it is hard on the players too that after giving full stretched performance, they lose by a one run margin.

Both teams should look for the short comings in this match. Afghanistan opening wasn’t so strong in the beginning but later in the middle order they played well. Karim Janat scored 50 and Mohammad Nabi was also able to make 44 runs. But Afghanistan would ideally want the runs from the top order batsmen. A lot was expected from Rahmanullah Gurbaz but he failed to deliver.

The exciting match between Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe is going on, Afghanistan has given a target of 144 runs to the Zimbabwe team. The Zimbabwe team is very close to winning at the moment, they have lost 6 wickets and need 3 runs from 3 balls at the moment. If the Zimbabwe team can play well, then they will definitely win the first T20 match against Afghanistan. At the moment, both the teams are very hopeful for victory, but I think the Zimbabwe team will be able to beat Afghanistan in this match, because scoring 3 runs from 3 balls will not be that difficult.

Afghanistan eventually needed 11 runs from an over but could not prevent these 11 runs from being completed and defeated Zimbabwe by four wickets. Of course, he completed 11 runs easily with a total of six runs from three balls twice, although if the first ball could have been prevented from hitting a boundary, Afghanistan could have won, but that did not happen, instead he completed 11 runs with a boundary on the first and last ball.

There are enough reasons why the Afghanistan team lost in this match, because they could not perform well in terms of bowling. Because Azmatullah could not do well in bowling, because in the 20th over, the first ball was a little boundary and later he could not give a dot ball even after dividing five consecutive balls. However, today's game was quite competitive, although the Zimbabwe team won but after a lot of hard work.
However, the Afghanistan team had enough chances to win, if they could have given only 2 more balls as dots, the players of the Afghanistan team could have ensured the victory, but this Afghanistan team failed in this place.

It's really nice to win like that. Afghanistan's target was not very big and the Zimbabwe team was slowly moving forward with the target in mind but it never looked like Afghanistan would win this match by a big margin or Zimbabwe would win easily. Last-ball runs were as important for Zimbabwe as last-ball wickets or dot balls were important for Afghanistan, but in the end the win went to Zimbabwe. Pakistan toured Zimbabwe a few days back and lost in T20 and ODI matches, I discussed earlier that Afghanistan would lose even in one match against Zimbabwe and it happened. Anyway, congratulations to the Zimbabwean team and best of luck for the upcoming matches. Hope they do better against Afghanistan.

Well, it was an entertaining match to watch and it went right down to the end. I thought Afghanistan would defend those 11 runs. Musekiwa hit four on the first ball of the over and it eased the pressure. After that Musekiwa played with mind and got two's and one on the next five balls and eventually took Zimbabwe home.

Azmatullah Omarzai bowled well but nothing could be done at that stage. A wicket would have helped him and Afghanistan but it was not his day. I think Afghanistan will call themselves unlucky in this game but i am sure they will come back strongly in the next game.

Zimbabwe's bowlers have undoubtedly performed well. I would say that Zimbabwe won because of the controlled bowling of their bowlers. If the bowlers had not done well, Afghanistan would have given a target of at least 180+ in today's match. Zimbabwe would not have been able to win by batting against a big target against Afghanistan.

Zimbabwe won the first match. However, I think Afghanistan will win this series. Zimbabwe also won the first match of the series against Pakistan. However, Zimbabwe lost continuously after that. Afghanistan will probably win the next two matches against Zimbabwe.

You are right, bowlers contributed more to Zimbabwe's win yesterday. The Zimbabwean bowlers bowled brilliantly early on, dismissing two of Afghanistan's opening batsmen early on which put Afghanistan under pressure. In the end, Afghanistan managed to score 144 runs. A target of 145 runs is not a big enough target in the T20 format. In the end Zimbabwe surprised everyone and won by four wickets.

Afghanistan's bowlers also tried their best, bowling brilliantly to take the game to the last ball. But ultimately failed as the target was low. Afghanistan still has a chance. If Afghanistan can perform well in the next two matches, they will win the series. I also think Afghanistan lost the first match, but will turn around in the next 2 matches and win the series.

Good bowling by Zimbabwean bowlers will win them the match today as their bowlers have taken control of Afghanistan batsmen, making them score more runs. The Zimbabwean bowler has not focused on taking wickets but has focused more on runs due to which the Afghanistan batsmen have not played well and they will give very easy targets. Their batsmen should have played well and given a strong target, their bowling could have good too. The way their batsmen have played, their bowlers should change the direction of the match and win the match after giving them an easy target. Afghanistan batsmen have been put under a lot of pressure due to which they will definitely lose this match as Zimbabwe batsmen can also play well and achieve this target in few overs.Afghanistan batsmen have scored just 144 runs in 20 overs which is a very low total and Zimbabwe can easily win.

In today's match, Afghanistan did not score as high as I expected but 144 is an average score. But I think it will be easy for them to defend it because they have Naveen Ul Haq, Rashid Khan and I should not mention others because these two are enough on Zimbabwe's poor team. The innings has just started for Zimbabwe. Tadiwanashe Marumani scored a boundary in the start but never mind because it is an impossible task for Zimbabwe to beat Afghanistan. It is a dream for them to win and this dream will remain a dream forever for them. Zimbabwe's batting does not have the depth to chase this score.

Afghanistan have played a big game in this one which will lead them to lose the match. Their batsmen scored very few runs which would have given the opposition an easy win. Looking at the way the Zimbabwean team played, the Afghanistan bowler stopped a lot of runs and took 6 wickets, but they still did not succeed, if they worked harder, they could have won the match by 1 run. But due to luck and their not performing well, they will lose the match. The Zimbabwean batsmen were also under pressure due to which they were scoring runs at a very slow pace but they will win the match. Both these teams should score more runs in the next match as their batsmen have not been able to score as many runs and their pace is not that good.

Afghanistan team tried hard but they did not win against Zimbabwe but it was not their luck. Although Afghanistan team was able to bowl well towards the end but Zimbabwe team, and the game was very tough and Zimbabwe was under a lot of pressure at the last minute. But Afghanistan still could not beat Zimbabwe, it was mainly their misfortune but Zimbabwe team won because of their luck. Zimbabwe team was able to win by one run in the last ball which was really a very competitive game. Zimbabwe team won the first T20 match and they moved ahead in the series so Afghanistan must prepare well for the next match so that they can score more runs and win.
