What a cracking game we've had! A good crowd turned up for the first-ever international match to be played under lights in Zimbabwe, and they were treated to a thrilling win for the home team.
Raza, POTM: Nice to be part of history. Credit to the fans as well for coming out in numbers. They got maybe 5-8 too many. Credit to Delany for the way he batted in the last over. Some mistakes here and there, but most important thing is we've got over the line. I was upset that I didn't finish the game. Don't want to leave it to the tailenders.
Stirling: It was a brilliant game, hopefully we've entertained the spectators. Got a day off tomorrow to chat about it (where we lost the game).
22:11 Local Time, 20:11 GMT, 01:41 IST: It was the first time a game was played under floodlights in Zimbabwe, and the hosts have marked the occasion with a thrilling win.

McCarthy to Ngarava, out Caught by Mark Adair!! You're kidding me. No way he's caught that. Absolutely incredible from Mark Adair as he pulls off an unbelievable catch running back from short third. Ngarava c Mark Adair b McCarthy 5(4) [4s-1]
McCarthy to Ngarava, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Mid-off, mid-on both in the circle now. No, mid-on has been pushed back now

McCarthy to Trevor Gwandu, 2 runs, another slower short ball outside off, Gwandu flat-bats it over McCarthy's head, hasn't timed it that well and long-off will cut it off
19.1
McCarthy to Trevor Gwandu, no run, slower short ball outside off, Gwandu swings and misses, deceived by the lack of pace
Barry McCarthy [3.0-0-28-1] is back into the attack
