Highlights: The day belonged to Zimbabwe captain Hamilton Masakadza as he struck a quick-fire half century to win the match for his country.

Earlier, Chris Mpofu picked up four wickets to restrict Rashid Khan’s Afghanistan to 155-8 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. The defeat ended Afghanistan’s record 12-match winning streak in T20Is while Zimbabwe got their first win of the tournament after three successive losses.
