First up, the Zimbabwe skipper Hamilton Masakadza gets a memento for his contribution for the relations between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. He also gets a memento from Zimbabwe Cricket for his contribution to the game.

Earlier in the day, the Zimbabwe bowlers did extremely well to pull things back after they were taken to the cleaners in the first half of their innings with the ball. That effort in the second half kept Zimbabwe in check and the Rhodesian side bagged their first win of the tournament. Stay tuned for the presentation.

The Afghanistan bowling looked off color today. Maybe they were a touch complacent. None of their bowlers looked at their best. When only one of their spinners takes a wicket, you probably know they haven't been at their best. Overall, not something Rashid Khan will be happy with.

Chasing a total which we thought would be tricky on a wicket which is slightly slow, the Zimbabwe team have done it quite easily. Right from the word go they looked in control of the chase. First, it was the openers who got them off to a brisk start. Then, Chakabva and Masakadza continued the good work with another excellent stand. The skipper got to his fifty, he would have wanted to stay there till the end but could not do so. Chakabva also perished but till then, the game was completely in Zimbabwe's favor. Williams and Mutombodzi ensured there were no more wickets to fall and they took the team over the line.

What a way to end your career! It is under his captaincy, Zimbabwe beat Afghanistan for the first time in T20Is. It is under his captaincy, the long winning streak in T20Is for Afghanistan has been broken and majority of the credit has to be given to Masakadza as he is the hero for his side in this chase.
