FOUR! Richard Ngarava to Azmatullah Omarzai. Length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs. Afghanistan have clinched victory in the second T20I against Zimbabwe by seven wickets, successfully chasing down the target. Ibrahim Zadran anchored the innings with a solid 57 not out, supported by Azmatullah Omarzai's explosive 25 off 16 balls. Despite some early wickets, including Gurbaz and Atal, Afghanistan maintained control of the chase. Brad Evans was the standout bowler for Zimbabwe, taking two wickets, but ultimately, the Afghanistan batting unit proved too strong. With this victory, Afghanistan secure a series win with the captain, Rashid Khan, being awarded Player of the Match for his bowling performance earlier in the day.
