5.6
Panyangara to Gulbadin Naib, 1 run, that's better. Goes full and straight and Gulbadin flicks, misses but takes a leg bye
5.5
Panyangara to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR, they just keep coming! This is, at best, medium pace from Panyangara. He really can't drop short, but he does. Just a bit, mind you. Gulbadin, sitting on his front foot, pulls hard and pulls over the legside field
5.4
Panyangara to Gulbadin Naib, no run, good length ball outside off, pushed back at the bowler
Gulbadin Naib is the new batsman.
Nilesh: "Shehzad is actually B Mac. for Afghanistan.. fire in the beginning which keeps warming the team for the whole innings..."
5.3
Panyangara to Asghar Stanikzai, OUT, runs down the track and his big old mow finds midwicket. But Zimbabwe will have to wait for their celebrations. The front foot is being checked, and Panyangara is fine. This one was dug in to counter the batsman's intentions. Stanikzai decided to give it an old tonk anyway, the sound off the bat was a dull clunk and Sikandar Raza moves to his right to hold on and then bellows in glee
Asghar Stanikzai c Sikandar Raza b Panyangara 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
5.2
Panyangara to Noor Ali Zadran, 1 run, whip off the legs, very stylish is Noor Ali playing on the leg side. There is protection at deep midwicket though
5.1
Panyangara to Noor Ali Zadran, no run, the "no" came just early enough for Noor Ali to get to safety. A back of a length ball was dropped into the covers, but the fielder came in too quickly for Stanikzai's liking
Tinashe Panyangara to round off the powerplay
