79/2 from 23 overs, Jongwe a bit expensive but good tight stuff from John Nyumbu who must have a chance of replacing Utseya if the rumours of his injury are true.

Lots of bowling but batting looks week in the Zim A side.

Some interesting bowling changes by Regis, not sure why he needed to give Roy Kia an over.

Afghanistan 173/5 going into the last 6 overs.

So glad this is a List A match and not a stupid XIV v XV

Yes a very good match for the "A" side, the Afghans are a good enough side to make performances against them hold a fair degree of value
