OVER 34
Madhevere to Hashmatullah Shahidi, FOUR: Pushed on a length and makes it turn across off, he stays low and unfurls a delectable late cut and it just had enough legs to get acquainted with the rope as Afghanistan win their first-ever tri-nation series win and beat Zimbabwe by seven wickets. They keep going from strength to strength in this format and their preparations seem pitch-perfect for next year's ODI World Cup. They remain unbeaten in this series and have been head and shoulders above the rest
Madhevere to Hashmatullah Shahidi, 2 runs: Landed full just outside off, goes hard at it and gets a thick edge and sends the ball trundling away to third man
Madhevere to Hashmatullah Shahidi, no run: Around the wicket, floated in from wide of off, blocked to cover
OVER 33
Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, no run: Short of a length just outside off, quicker delivery, cross-batted shot to cover
Burl to Hashmatullah Shahidi, 1 run: Plays with the spin towards deep square
Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run: Spinning in at middle, pings an on-drive to long-on
Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, no run: Legbreak on middle and off, pushed to bowler's right, quick acrobatic stop
Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, no run: Tossed up and very tight at stumps, blocked off the backfoot
Burl to Ibrahim Zadran, no run: Waits for it to come on the bat before pulling it to midwicket in the ring
OVER 32
Madhevere to Hashmatullah Shahidi, no run: Around the wicket, drags it short and turns it across off, cuts it but could not get it past the man stationed at point
Madhevere to Rahmat Shah, OUT: Fraction short and it veers in at middle, sticks in the surface, tries to lift it up and over midwicket but finds Burl who TAKES AN ABSOLUTE SCREAMER at midwicket, jumped full-stretch and instinctively lifted his hands up and the ball stuck in as well, that is an unbelievable catch!!! Zimbabwe are all smiles and have something to cheer for. It was a one-handed left hand catch. Jumped like superman and plucked it out of thin air
Madhevere to Rahmat Shah, no run: Good length and turns back at off, follows the path and defends it back to the bowler
Madhevere to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run: Lots of flight and keeps it stumps-to-stumps, plonks it out to long-on
Madhevere to Rahmat Shah, 1 run: Drops it a touch short and it turns in from outside off, slapped into the covers
