He handed it back 10 overs later having produced his best bowling figures - in his entire competitive career - and with the Black Caps superbly set up for a victory which keeps them on top of the Cricket World Cup ladder. Zazai – who has a 12-ball 50, six sixes in an over, and an unbeaten 162 in a Twenty20 international to his name - lived incredibly dangerously in an agricultural knock, giving the Black Caps four chances. From 66-0, Afghanistan had collapsed to 70-4, and their realistic hopes of troubling the Black Caps were over. Another box impressively ticked for the Black Caps bowling unit, and the batsmen will be largely pleased as well, despite another shaky moment or two.
