    What's the story

    Afghanistan leveled the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe at 1-1, with a comprehensive 50-run victory.

    The match took place at Harare Sports Club, Harare.

    Darwish Rasooli was named Player of the Match for his maiden T20I fifty. He scored 58 from 42 balls.

    Afghanistan managed 153/6 in 20 overs. Zimbabwe ended up with 103/10 in 17.4 overs.

    Here's more.

    Batting performance

    Afghanistan's batting line-up was tested early as Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal, and Zubaid Akbari fell cheaply.

    However, Rasooli steadied the ship with a responsible 58 off 42 balls. He hit six fours and a six.

    He found support in Azmatullah Omarzai who scored a brisk 28 and Gulbadin Naib who contributed a quickfire 26*.

    This collective effort helped Afghanistan post a competitive 153/6.

    For Zimbabwe, Trevor Gwandu claimed 2/29 from his 4 overs. Ryan Burl bowled three overs (2/16).
