The exciting match between Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe is going on, Afghanistan has given a target of 144 runs to the Zimbabwe team. The Zimbabwe team is very close to winning at the moment, they have lost 6 wickets and need 3 runs from 3 balls at the moment. If the Zimbabwe team can play well, then they will definitely win the first T20 match against Afghanistan. At the moment, both the teams are very hopeful for victory, but I think the Zimbabwe team will be able to beat Afghanistan in this match, because scoring 3 runs from 3 balls will not be that difficult.

Afghanistan eventually needed 11 runs from an over but could not prevent these 11 runs from being completed and defeated Zimbabwe by four wickets. Of course, he completed 11 runs easily with a total of six runs from three balls twice, although if the first ball could have been prevented from hitting a boundary, Afghanistan could have won, but that did not happen, instead he completed 11 runs with a boundary on the first and last ball.

There are enough reasons why the Afghanistan team lost in this match, because they could not perform well in terms of bowling. Because Azmatullah could not do well in bowling, because in the 20th over, the first ball was a little boundary and later he could not give a dot ball even after dividing five consecutive balls. However, today's game was quite competitive, although the Zimbabwe team won but after a lot of hard work.
However, the Afghanistan team had enough chances to win, if they could have given only 2 more balls as dots, the players of the Afghanistan team could have ensured the victory, but this Afghanistan team failed in this place.

T20 format requires a balance between the ball and the runs. Afghanistan would not have been at this stage if their batsmen had been able to score a little more. Hazratullah Zazai made only 20 runs off 15 balls and Azmatullah made only 13 runs off 12 balls. These issues are now being blamed for the loss in the match. Not only that, if they could have done better on the bowling side, it would have been possible to prevent this score but they failed there too. They needed 11 runs in the last over which was difficult for the Zimbabwe team but they made that difficult task easy. If the good team cannot play well, then it cannot be said that the bad teams will not do well there. Zimbabwe has been performing well recently due to which they won the match against Pakistan and started their new series fight with a win against Afghanistan.

There should be some balance in the performance. When you mention the term balance it also suits the team batting second or the team chasing the target. They will also make plans according to the target and make a initial take off as well as move through out the match. Little more runs doesn't make any big change in the match result. Maybe something as 160+ runs could pressure the team chasing the target and cause loss of wickets.
