Toss Zimbabwe opt to bowl vs Afghanistan
Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field first against Afghanistan in the second of the three-match ODI series in Harare, after the first game was washed out.
Unlike Tuesday, Thursday offered sunny conditions, and there was a bit of green on the surface which was also used for the previous game.
Only 9.2 overs were possible in the opening ODI due to persistent rain. But even in that period, Zimbabwe were reduced to five down, thanks to Azmatullah Omarzai, who picked up four wickets with his swing and seam movement.
Zimbabwe: 1 Ben Curran, 2 Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), 3 Dion Myers, 4 Craig Ervine (capt), 5 Sean Williams, 6 Sikandar Raza, 7 Brian Bennet, 8 Newman Nyamhuri, 9 Richard Ngarava, 10 Tinotenda Maposa, 11 Trevor Gwandu
Afghanistan: 1 Sediqullah Atal, 2 Abdul Malik, 3 Rahmat Shah, 4 Hashmatullah Shahidi (capt), 5 Azmatullah Omarzai, 6 Mohammad Nabi, 7 Ikram Alikhil (wk), 8 Rashid Khan, 9 AM Ghazanfar, 10 Fazalhaq Farooqi, 11 Naveed Zadran
