| Rahmanullah Gurbaz Wk | 84 | 45 | 4 | 6 | 186.66 |
|
15.3 OUT! TAKEN! Gurbaz goes! End of an excellent knock from Rahmanullah Gurbaz! A timely wicket for Sri Lanka! This is full and outside off, probably a slower ball. Gurbaz tries to heave it across but toe-ends his shot to deep mid-wicket. Wanindu Hasaranga takes the skier there. The 93-run stand has been broken and Sri Lanka will look to capitalize from here and limit the damage in the end overs. 139/2

| Ibrahim Zadran | 40 | 38 | 2 | 1 | 105.26 |
|
17.2 OUT! TAKEN! The slower ball does the trick! This one is at 93 clicks, the back of the hand delivery. Fuller and outside off. Ibrahim Zadran shuffles across and tries to paddle it away but miscues and Asitha Fernando at short fine leg takes it with ease. Both the set batters are dismissed in the end overs. 151/3

18.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Two in two for Sri Lanka! The set batter goes! Maheesh Theekshana serves a full toss, quicker and outside off. Rashid Khan drives it to extra cover and tries to steal a single but Wanindu Hasaranga is quick to the ball. He throws it to the keeper, Kusal Mendis, who whips the bails off in a flash. The replay shows Najibullah Zadran is short and he has to walk back. 166/5

20 OUT! RUN OUT! A wicket off the final delivery! Too full and outside off. Khan swings his bat and hits it to deep backward point. Pathum Nissanka runs in from deep and throws it to the keeper who removes the bails off. Rashid Khan was always running for two but loses his bat in the process and fails to reach his ground despite a dive. Just a single. Afghanistan finish with 175/6 on the board. 175/6

9 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The set batter goes and Afghanistan get back in the game! A carrom ball, shorter and outside off, there is extra bounce as well. Pathum Nissanka looks to cut but gets a faint outside edge and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the keeper, pouches a sharp catch. 80/2

6.3 OUT! FINDS THE FIELDER! Afghanistan break the opening stand! Short in length and outside off, Kusal Mendis stands tall and pulls it cleanly but hits it flat and Ibrahim Zadran at deep mid-wicket holds onto the catch safely. Kusal Mendis will be delighted with this knock but he would have loved to carry on. Sri Lanka need 114 runs in 81 balls. 62/1

11.3 OUT! Drags it on! Charith Asalanka's poor run continues... Smart bowling from the Afghan skipper. It's a seam-up delivery, darted in around off, Charith Asalanka goes down for the slog sweep but only manages to drag it off the inner edge. The ball cannons onto the stumps and Sri Lanka lose their third over. 82 needed off 51 balls. 94/3

16.4 OUT! TIMBER! Rashid Khan gets the better of Danushka Gunathilaka! He wins the small battle! A huge moment in the game! Khan serves it slow, shorter and around off, it skids through. Danushka Gunathilaka looks to swing across the line but misses and the stumps are disturbed. 151/5

| Dasun Shanaka C | 10 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 111.11 |
|
14.1 OUT! IT'S A CLEAN CATCH! Mujeeb serves a full toss around middle, Shanaka stays back and tries to pump it over long on. He doesn't get enough distance behind his shot and Najibullah Zadran jumps near the fence to take the catch over his head. He then releases the ball as he steps out and then returns to claim the catch again. The third umpire is referred and after watching numerous replays, Dasun is given the marching orders. 57 needed off 35 balls and this game is going right down to the wire. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is on a hat-trick... 119/4

18.3 OUT! BOWLED! Bhanuka Rajapaksa goes but he has done the job! On a length, around off and it's the slower one. Bhanuka Rajapaksa tries to heave but is early into the shot and misses. The ball hits the stumps. Is it too little too late though? 174/6
