- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 slot ball hit straight to deep backward point! Full on off. Gurbaz looks to slash at it, but it's slightly sliced. The fielder is perfectly positioned as he miscues the shot owing to the outswing. Gurbaz falls early again 9/14.5 slower ball does the trick! Swings across the line, bit of a wild hack, and this cutter deceives him. Off stump pegged back! 37/216.4 swiped in the air and holes out to deep square leg. Forde celebrates and some relief for WI. Short and cramps Atal on the pull. He does not get it off the middle and rookie Sampson catches it near the boundary. End of a fine innings from Atal 152/317.2 Simmonds gets rid of Rasooli. Afg lose both their set batters in successive overs. Back of a length and on middle, Rasooli backs away and aims to go over mid-off but does not manufacture enough power or elevation to clear that infielder. Athanaze snags the catch to send Rasooli back for 68 off 39 balls 155/4Extras12 (b 1, lb 6, w 5)TOTAL189/4 (20 Overs, RR: 9.45)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 1.2 ov), 2-37 (Ibrahim Zadran, 4.5 ov), 3-152 (Sediqullah Atal, 16.4 ov), 4-155 (Darwish Rasooli, 17.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.1 Holes out to long-on! Mujeeb bags a hat-trick and wheels away in celebration. Bangs this into the middle of the Dhaka deck. Back of a length and turning into middle, King dares to charge at the mystery spinner but only skews it in the air to Rasooli at long-on 122/52.5 full on off and crunched to mid on. Athanaze scurries to the non-strikers' end but it's a direct hit from Ibrahim! This is close...and he's short by a few metres! 9/17.5 the finger has gone up! Lewis falls and that's a beauty from Mujeeb. Quick, length ball that skids right through and raps him on the pads 38/27.6 beauty! That's two in two. That's a carbon copy of how King fell in the first game. Length ball originating outside off and drifting into the stumps with the batter driving away from his body. Ball goes through the bat-body gap 38/313.3 No fifty for Hetmyer! He holes out for 46 off 17 balls. Slower short ball, Farooqi hides it away from the reach of Hetty. Hetmyer throws his hands at the ball and ends up slicing it to Zadran at sweeper cover. Game-changing strike from Farooqi? 106/415.3 seems like the googly from Mujeeb, flat and fast, skids in to smash the stumps. What an over from Mujeeb. He has tilted it Afghanistan's way 123/616.1 Caught at long-on! Not a great ball from Rashid. Dragged down on off, but Forde can't clear long-on. He heaves it in the air to Nabi 129/717.5 slowie, short and outside off, Pierre goes for the pull but ends up dragging a catch to deep midwicket. Afghanistan are two wickets away from sealing the series 143/817.6 Shamar backs away, Omarzai follows him with a full ball. Shamar can't get underneath it. He slices it in the air. Rashid moves swiftly to his right from cover and completes a diving catch 143/918.5 slowie on off, Simmonds swings and ends up picking out deep midwicket. The No.11 can't find enough elevation and that is that 150/10Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL150 all out (18.5 Overs, RR: 7.96)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Alick Athanaze, 2.5 ov), 2-38 (Evin Lewis, 7.5 ov), 3-38 (Johnson Charles, 7.6 ov), 4-106 (Shimron Hetmyer, 13.3 ov), 5-122 (Brandon King, 15.1 ov), 6-123 (Quentin Sampson, 15.3 ov), 7-129 (Matthew Forde, 16.1 ov), 8-143 (Khary Pierre, 17.5 ov), 9-143 (Shamar Joseph, 17.6 ov), 10-150 (Ramon Simmonds, 18.5 ov)
