Harare, June 6 (AFP\/APP):Opening batsman Ibrahim Zadran scored an unbeaten 120 as Afghanistan defeated Zimbabwe by eight wickets on Monday to take a winning 2-0 lead in a three-match one-day international series.<\/p>\n

Atoning for scoring only five runs when the tourists won the first match by 60 runs last Saturday, Zadran faced 142 deliveries and struck 16 fours at Harare Sports Club.<\/p>\n

He was well supported by Rahmat Shah — the 94-run star of the first victory — who contributed 88 and was an able partner to Zadran in a second-wicket stand that produced 195 runs.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan made 229-2 to win with 33 balls remaining.<\/p>\n

Put in to bat after Afghanistan won the toss, Zimbabwe were all out for 228 with Innocent Kaia (63) and Ryan Burl (51) contributing half centuries.<\/p>\n

Making only his second ODI appearance, Kaia hit six fours and one six off 74 balls before being caught by wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz off the bowling of Fareed Ahmad, whose 3-56 were the best Afghan figures.<\/p>\n

Burl was unbeaten after facing 61 deliveries and his total included two fours and one six in the Zimbabwean capital.<\/p>\n

After opener Gurbaz was out having scored only four runs, Zadran and Shah took control while Zimbabwe used eight bowlers.<\/p>\n

Apart from winning the series and taking a 17-10 lead over Zimbabwe in ODI matches, third-placed Afghanistan added another 10 points to their World Cup Super League total.<\/p>\n

The two victories in Zimbabwe have lifted them to 90 points, five less than second-placed England, who have played four more matches.<\/p>\n

After the final ODI match on Thursday, the countries will play three Twenty20 internationals on June 11, 12 and 14, also in Harare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
