44.4 Samiullah Shenwari to Chigumbura, 6 wides

Afghanistan making sure Raza won't get a half century.

Convincing win. Well done Zim. I am hoping for a complete sweep.

[Jemisi]

Good team batting performance led by Williams.

Similar for the bowling too, I suppose, led by Chatara.

Decent first up win.

Overthrows?

I can't think of any other explanation.

Wide down leg side. Keeper gets a hand on it and deflects it, batsmen go for a quick single, keeper shies at the stumps and misses. Goes for four, plus the single, plus the wide.

Guess Williams for player of the match ??

Decent win without being spectacular ......

So Chigs actually hit a 4 to finish things off, not just a trundling single. Cricinfo corrects itself. Typical of Chigs

So Chigumbura only the 7th Player in Zim ODI history to score 3000 career runs. Flower brothers, Campbell, BRMT, Masakadza and Taibu ahead of him. Streak missed out by 99 runs.

Actually Streak was only 57 short. He made some ODI runs for Africa.
