Taylor's first ton after return levels series

Brendan Taylor's first century since coming back to Zimbabwe in September a year ago supported a devastating 154-run prevail upon Afghanistan in the second ODI in Sharjah. Taylor's 125 turbocharged Zimbabwe's innings as they piled on 333 for 5, having chosen to bat first. The pursuit was similarly disproportionate, with Afghanistan at one point in threat of losing by more than 200 runs, previously Dawlat Zadran chop the edge down with an unbeaten 47 at No. 10 - the most astounding score of the innings. It was as yet Afghanistan's second-heaviest ODI crush. 


The outcome, which brought the five-coordinate arrangement level one-all, was an immediate inversion of the primary ODI, which was chosen by a similar edge, with similar aggregates. On that event, Afghanistan had heaped on 333 for 5 preceding Zimbabwe collided with 179 hard and fast. 

Taylor's activity started as a repetitive one, as he arrived looking to balance the early loss of Solomon Mire. He put on 85 with Hamilton Masakadza (48), preceding miscommunication finished Masakadza's stay and gave Afghanistan some relief. At that point came the characterizing organization of the match - a 135-run relationship for the fourth wicket amongst Taylor and Sikandar Raza off only 110 balls. 

Taylor raised his hundred off his 110th ball - and the first of the 43rd over - with a drive to long-on, before Zimbabwe kicked into overdrive. The gore started with Taylor cutting legspinner Rashid Khan over midwicket for six, two balls in the wake of getting to his hundred. He lined it up with a six and a four off Dawlat Zadran in the following over. Taylor's last 25 runs took only 11 balls. 

At the opposite end, Raza moved at a stunning pace too, rushing from a run-a-ball 55 to 92 off 74 balls. He was out with seven balls staying in the innings, chipping a slower ball to cover. His 92 contained nine fours and four sixes. 

Taking all things together, Zimbabwe struck 14 sixes in their innings and slapped 101 keeps running in the last eight overs. Afghanistan did not help themselves with their undisciplined knocking down some pins, yielding six no-balls and nine wides, yet their rocking the bowling alley wasn't without positives. Their spinners stood their ground in the midst of the savagery. Rashid and Mohammad Nabi were miserly, returning joined figures of 2 for 69 out of 20 overs, while the offspinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman, who opened the knocking down some pins, took 1 for 47 of every 10 overs. 

The pursuit was a debacle as Afghanistan lost their fifth wicket not long after the Powerplay. Nabi at that point quickly enticed with a limit ridden 31 preceding Graeme Cremer burst through his resistances. Rahmat Shah, the No. 3, battled alone with 43 and was the ninth man rejected, in the 26th over. Dawlat at that point postponed Zimbabwe's triumph push with a last-wicket organization of 64 with Mujeeb. Dawlat scored at a strike rate of more than 160 and ravaged six sixes. In any case, it represented close to nothing. 


Zimbabwe's bowlers chased in a pack. The pacers Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarabani cut up the best and center request with five wickets between them, while Cremer wiped out the lower request to complete with four wickets.
