Afghanistan A have already won the first two games and that too comprehensively. Zimbabwe A have been no match so far. I am pretty sure given the state Zimbabwe cricket is Afghanistan and Ireland will surpass them in all form.

Go Men in Blue .

Time for Zimbabwe to come back and have a decent knock. They played few good matches against us. And maybe one or two good innings against NZ maybe ? But this is their time for redemption. Although I am a fan of Afghanistan cricket, I hope Zimbabwe pull off a series victory. Hope it won't be one sided.

A good fight back from Zimbabwe this is. 234/5 in 47 overs from 13/3. 18 balls 46 required. Seems like chase-able given Kaia & Waller are in the middle.

Well not a complete victory but victory it is in first ODI for Afghanistan. The batting should have scored 30-40 runs more. I am telling you Moor is a key for Zimbabwe, he is an awesome talent

Nice match today... Watched it in Afghani :P

What do you like about him? He's not been in great form recently.

Ryan Burl is the one to watch.

Fantastic .. Men in blue 2 go 2 -0. This is a complete performance. The batting with few good contribution posted a semi par score. 250 and I think you are good. The bowling was fantastic. Well played boys. Lets win the next match and wrap the series up.[DOUBLEPOST=1487533006][/DOUBLEPOST]

I do not know what I like, but he is a refreshing player in this current lot. My instinct says he will go on to have a bright future if he is persisted and continues playing for Zimbabwe. Off late he is out of form agreed but which player does not face this? Correct?

If they manage to clean sweep this series, forget about sending a strong message, they will tear down the door of the ICC headquarters.

What a match!!! Zimbabwe have just defended 129! Unbelieveable.

Really, Afghanistan should've won this match, but it's cricket so anything can happen. I think the problem was the Afghans were not rotating the strike much.

Nevertheless well played Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe you beauty!

Any link for highlights?

That was a horrendous batting performance from both the side but Afghanistan a little bit more. Losing 5 for 5 is not what you see normally that too chasing 130 runs. One thing that might not be related to this but the IPL money should not go into the heads of the smaller upcoming cricketing nation players. Men in Blue need to buckle up and not give away opportunities like this. Go Men in Blue conquer the series in the next match

They have a young inexperienced team, which I'd say was the reason for not reaching the target. Playing Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will strengthen them also they will play West Indies, and if they beat WI, they should play Test cricket.

Any idea why Donald Tiripano wasn't in the team?
