With the series perhaps unexpectedly tied up at 1-1, Afghanistan have won the toss in the third ODI and elected to bat. It has been a solid albeit slow start by the visitors as they are currently 136/4. After a second wicket stand of 73, Zimbabwe took three wickets for 8 runs and clawed their way back into a decent position. With 15 overs left, Afghanistan will surely be targeting a score of 240.

Amir Hamza to Chibhabha, what a way to get a wicket! Chamu backed away and chopped down on the ball, which bounced and
was headed back towards the stumps. He stuck his hand out to catch it, reflexively, and tossed it away.
Shahzad was alert to the error, appealing straight away, and Nigel Llong gives Chamu out for handling the ball.
Chamu is the first Zim batsman to be given out handling the ball
