| 0.4 : 0.4: Tendai Chatara to Michael Jones, FOUR! SHOT! That is a lovely stroke! Fuller and on off, Michael Jones steps out and hits it firmly past mid off and into the fence. That is some shot to get off the mark. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: Tendai Chatara to Michael Jones, OUT! TAKEN! That is a stunner of a catch! Wow! Take a bow, Sikandar Raza. He does it with the bat, does it with the ball and now doing it in the field. Perfect start for Zimbabwe as they get rid of the dangerous Michael Jones! Length and on off, Michael Jones yet again steps out and looks to go big, this one shapes away nicely. Jones swings but it goes off the top edge over covers. Raza runs back and takes it. Never easy when it is over your shoulder like th |
| 1.2 : 1.2: Richard Ngarava to George Munsey, FOUR! Have to feel sorry for Wesley Madhevere! He was done in by the spin. Munsey bags his first boundary! This is shorter and on middle, this is pulled towards deep square leg. It lands and then spins in the opposite direction to which the fielder was running, he stops and then dives to stop it but fails to do so. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Blessing Muzarabani to George Munsey, FOUR! Thumped down the ground! Fuller and on middle, this is hit hard down the ground and this time it races away. Welcome boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Blessing Muzarabani to George Munsey, FOUR! Thumped down the ground! A slower one, fuller and on off, Munsey waits and then slams it down to long off for a boundary. This is a really good over so far for Scotland. Something they needed. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Richard Ngarava to Matthew Cross, OUT! TAKEN! That is a stunner! Top notch! The first two catches just show how much Zimbabwe want this. They are up for this game and have begun brilliantly by taking two in the Powerplay! This is short and on middle, Matthew Cross stands tall and pulls it hard but uppishly to the left of mid-wicket. Wesley Madhevere dives to his left and plucks it out of thin air. Scotland in trouble. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Richard Ngarava to George Munsey, FOUR! Nice and fine! Just wide of the keeper! Shorter and on the body, George Munsey looks to pull, this goes off the glove and just wide of the keeper and into the fine leg fence. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Richard Ngarava to George Munsey, FOUR! That is a beautiful stroke! Amazing timing! Fuller and on off, George Munsey strokes it through covers and this one races away to the fence. Beautiful timing. |
| 5.6: Blessing Muzarabani to George Munsey, FOUR! Fails to end it well and Scotland have recovered well after the Powerplay! This is short and around off, George Munsey cuts it past point and this races away to the fence. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Sean Williams to George Munsey, FOUR! Just over! That is a poor delivery and put away! Munsey is dealing in boundaries here! On the pads, this is whipped over the fine leg fielder and into the fence. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Sikandar Raza to Richie Berrington, OUT! TAKEN! The pressure of not scoring boundaries has got to Richie Berrington as he falls. He got away with a couple of sweep shots in the last over but not this time. Raza strikes, like he always does. On middle, Richie Berrington gets the slog sweep out, it is a little too full to play that shot and hence, it goes flat and straight to deep mid-wicket. Milton Shumba makes no mistake. Zimbabwe continue to remain on top. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Richard Ngarava to George Munsey, OUT! TAKEN! That is another superb catch! Zimbabwe have been brilliant in the field and that is the reason why they are in a good position in this game. The well-set Munsey is out of here and now 140 looks far away. On the pads, Munsey whips it but uppishly. The ball goes towards deep square leg. It is dying on him. Milton Shumba dives and takes it inches above the ground. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: Richard Ngarava to Calum MacLeod, FOUR! Calum MacLeod takes full toll of it! A welcome, welcome boundary and the last two balls spoils the over. This is short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. This is pulled hard through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Michael Leask, FOUR! Finds the gap! All of a sudden, one can sense a shift in momentum here! Shorter and outside off, this is slapped past cover and the diving mid off fielder and into the fence. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Blessing Muzarabani to Michael Leask, FOUR! That is brutally hit! Powerful shot! On middle, this is thumped down he ground. The fielder at long on runs to his left, dives but fails to stop it. Second boundary in the over. Blessing Muzarabani is under pressure here. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Blessing Muzarabani to Michael Leask, OUT! TIMBER! Blessing Muzarabani strikes! He gets his revenge and a timely wicket as the momentum just was starting to shift! Goes full and angles it into the pads. Michael Leask clears his front leg and looks to heave it on the leg side but misses, the ball hits the pad and then the stumps. Can Zimbabwe keep Scotland below 140? |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Tendai Chatara to Calum MacLeod, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder! Another sharp catch! Zimbabwe have been brilliant in the field! Fuller and outside off, this is carved away. It is hit well but to the man at point. Luke Jongwe makes no mistake. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Brad Wheal to Regis Chakabva, OUT! LBW! A perfect start for Scotland! A big break through as Regis Chakabva could have been very dangerous. This is on a length and around off, extra bounce on offer. Regis Chakabva gets on his toes as he looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An LBW appeal and up goes the finger. That looked very close but Regis Chakabva takes the review. Ultra Edge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows umpire's call on wickets hitting and Regis Chakabv |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Brad Wheal to Regis Chakabva, FOUR! Zimbabwe are off the mark. Short of a length and outside off. Regis Chakabva pulls it nice and to deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Josh Davey to Wesley Madhevere, OUT! TIMBER! Two in two overs for Zimbabwe! Another low score for Wesley Madhevere! This is full and way outside off. Wesley Madhevere looks to drive but gets an inside edge and it hits the stumps. Unfortunate dismiss but Scotland won't mind. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Safyaan Sharif to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Not a good start! Straight on the pads. Craig Ervine flicks it past square leg for a boundary. More trouble as Safyaan Sharif has overstepped. A free-hit to follow. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Brad Wheal to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Well played! Pitched up, outside off. Ervine drives it through covers, beats the fielder for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Brad Wheal to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Two in a row! Much better shot from the captain! Pitched up again. Ervine drives it straight down past mid off for four. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Michael Leask to Craig Ervine, FOUR! through the gap! This is full and around off. Ervine reverse hits it well through point, in the gap for four runs. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Michael Leask to Sean Williams, OUT! TAKEN! Brad Wheal with an excellent catch! Sean Williams is livid with himself. This is dragged down and Sean Williams tries to pull this away. The ball goes to deep square leg where Brad Wheal runs in and plucks it right in front of him. Another timely wicket for Scotland and they are not giving away the game easily. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Safyaan Sharif to Sikandar Raza, FOUR! Raza will play with the intent! This is full and outside off. Raza lofts it over covers. The fielder gives a chase but to no avail. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Calum MacLeod to Sikandar Raza, SIX! Boundary just makes the over perfect for Zimbabwe. Tad short and outside off. Raza rocks back and pulls it all the way over mid-wicket for a biggie. 57 runs needed now in 48 balls. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Mark Watt to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Cleverly played! Short and outside off, slows it up. Ervine reverse hits and clears the infield and the ball goes to point for a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Michael Leask to Sikandar Raza, SIX! What a shot! Sikandar Raza only knows one way to play! This is a hard shot to play! Flat and outside off. Raza stays back and hammers it over covers for a biggie. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Michael Leask to Sikandar Raza, FOUR! Sikandar Raza is in hurry now! This is full and outside off. Raza swings across, he splices and the ball goes over point for a boundary. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Josh Davey to Sikandar Raza, FOUR! Another fine shot from Raza! Overpitched and going down the leg side. Raza sweeps it over square leg for a couple of bounces and four. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Josh Davey to Sikandar Raza, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Raza goes! Is there a twist in the tale? A slower bouncer, Josh Davey rolls his finger on this one on middle. Raza looks to pull but gloves it to the keeper. The finger goes up and Raza walks without reviewing it. There was a big deflection. What a moment in the game. Zimbabwe need 27 runs in 30 balls. Scotland need 6 wickets. |
