19.6: Shivam Dube to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, FOUR! Banged away. Afghanistan finish with a flourish. 21 runs off the final over help Afghanistan finish on 156/8. Dube goes into the deck but fails to get it short enough to trouble the batter. Mujeeb cashes in on the width as he stands tall and smacks it up and over extra cover for four more.

19.5: Shivam Dube to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, FOUR! Mujeeb Ur Rahman flashes and flashes hard. The 150 is up for Afghanistan. Dube sticks to the plan of bowling it full and wide on off. Mujeeb shuffles across to get closer to the line of the ball and swings with all his might. The outside edge flies fine of the short third fielder and races away.

19.4: Shivam Dube to Azmatullah Omarzai, This is even slower, full and wide on off. Omarzai swings a bit too hard and loses his shape. He mishits it off the inner half towards wide mid on and takes the single this time.

19.3: Shivam Dube to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX! Up, up and away! That is a shot and a half. Scrambled seam ball, near the tramline on off, on a length. Omarzai reaches out and is able to get under the ball by getting low on the stance. Slams it over cover for another maximum.

19.2: Shivam Dube to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX! Azmatullah Omarzai needed no second invitation there. Dube goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a juicy low full toss, on off. Omarzai gets behind the line and tonks it over long on for a maximum.

19.1: Shivam Dube to Azmatullah Omarzai, Dube keeps it away from the batter's arc, on a length. Omarzai throws his hands at the ball but mistimes it down to long off. He turns down the single on offer and understandably so.

18.6: Arshdeep Singh to Azmatullah Omarzai, Not in control but safe. Pushed across the right-hander from over the wicket, on a length. Omarzai clears the front leg and swings for the hills. The ball leaves him to catch the outer half and it is sliced towards deep cover. Ishan Kishan moves to his right but the ball drops out of his reach. Single taken by Azmat to keep the strike.

18.5: Arshdeep Singh to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, On a hard length, tucking the batter up for room. Mujeeb rises with the bounce and nurdles it square on the leg side for a single.

18.5: Arshdeep Singh to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Wide! Full and down leg. Mujeeb misses out on the tickle.

18.4: Arshdeep Singh to Azmatullah Omarzai, FIFTY FOR OMARZAI, only his 2nd in T20Is. Time and time again, Azmatullah continues to prove his worth to the Afghan side as an all-rounder. Fuller in length, angled in at the stumps. Azmat brings his wrists into play and clips it towards deep square leg for a single to reach his landmark.

18.3: Arshdeep Singh to Noor Ahmad, OUT! NOOR AHMAD IS RUN OUT! Excellent work in the field by the Indian captain. Skidding through, in and around the off stump, on a back of a length. Noor taps it wide of cover from the crease before setting off for a quick single. Shreyas Iyer moves swiftly to his right, and the ball bounces nicely for him. He picks it up with one hand and while being on the move, he scores a direct hit at the bowling end. Noor is caught short of the crease, and being on the back foot to begin with did not help his cause either.

18.2: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan's scratchy stay comes to an end. This was in the slot for Rashid, and he will be disappointed to have missed out on putting it away. Around the off stump. Rashid gets the front leg out of the way and has a swing at it. The bat turns in his hand as the ball goes back over the bowler's head. Axar Patel moves to his right from long off and gobbles it up with ease.

18.1: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, At 134 kph, a bumper, which is directed at the body of the batter. Rashid sinks underneath the ball.

18.1: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, Wide! Sprays a full ball, down leg. Rashid tries to swing it away with the angle by getting low but misses.

17.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, Bumrah finishes just as well. Spears in a yorker, tailing back in on middle and leg. Khan drops his bat down on the ball and squeezes it out to short third for just a single. The momentum is being sucked out of this Afghan innings after that surge of 4 overs. 10 runs off the last 12 balls.

17.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Azmatullah Omarzai, Takes pace off, keeping it away from the batter's arc, on a short of a good length. Azmat slaps it to deep point for just a single. So far, so good from Bumrah. Just 2 runs off the over so far.

17.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Azmatullah Omarzai, Bumrah goes wide on the crease and nails the yorker, right at the base of the middle stump. Omarzai gets his bat down and digs it out back to the bowler.

17.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, Another slower, short ball, on middle. Rashid has a flash at the ball this time but fails to make any connection. It bounces awkwardly in front of Sanju Samson, who cannot make a clean stop. It is parried away off the keeper's pad towards short fine leg for a bye.

17.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, Rashid is yet to get off the mark. It has been 7 balls since Azmatullah Omarzai faced a delivery.  Bumrah dishes out the slower bumper, over middle. Rashid arches back to play the upper cut but misses.

17.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Rashid Khan, Starts with the off-cutter, into the surface, on middle. Rashid hangs back to deal with it but the ball spins back sharply and jumps on the batter, catching him on the glove.
