AFG vs AUS Live Cricket Score

15.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Rahmanullah Gurbaz finally holes out and Marcus Stoinis gives him a bit of a send-off, not quite sure what that's about. Banged in short again but with a bit more intent and at the batter's body. Gurbaz hangs back to pull but doesn't get a hold of this one. David Warner at the square leg fence comes in a bit and takes a fine catch to bring Australia their first wicket. 118/1

17 OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan are self-exploding here but that's some smart bowling from Adam Zampa. Bowled much quicker at 98 clicks and it is the attempted bumper from the leg spinner that is bowled around off stump. Ibrahim Zadran hangs back and looks to pull but is rushed and ends up splicing the ball towards backward point. The Aussie skipper, Mitchell Marsh takes a simple catch and Adam Zampa picks up another wicket. 122/3

16.3 OUT! TIMBER! That quick wrong'un and as they say, 'one brings two.' Adam Zampa comes in from over the stumps and bowls it quicker and flatter on middle stump. The toppie slides through quickly and turns into the right-hander. Azmatullah Omarzai rocks back to pull but is beaten all ends up and the ball crashes into the stumps. 121/2

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Well taken in the end by Tim David as he almost misjudged that one completely. Pat Cummins goes into the surface a bit and bowls it at the batter, Karim Janat comes forward and looks to heave it away but gets it high on the bat and over wide mid on. David comes in a bit too much but adjusts and just takes it over his head. 141/5

18 OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Pat Cummins has outsmarted Rashid Khan here. Cummins drops the pace down to 109 clicks and bowls it a bit into the pitch and at the batter. Rashid Khan comes down the pitch and looks to swat it over long on but he hits it flat and straight to Tim David who takes a safe catch. 126/4

19.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Back-to-back T20 World Cup hat-tricks for Pat Cummins and unlike the last game, Cummins is well and truly aware of it this time, sensational stuff. This is bowled on a hard length around middle and angling in, Gulbadin Naib has a swipe across the line but doesn't get much distance on it and the ball travels over mid-wicket. Glenn Maxwell comes in from the deep and takes a simple catch. 141/6

0.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! That is fantastic bowling and fantastic captaincy to give the first over to Naveen-ul-Haq instead of Fazalhaq Farooqi. Naveen stays around the stumps and bowls it quite full on the leg peg, angling in and gets that magical outswinger going. Travis Head hangs back, clears his leg and looks to smash this across the line but plays all around it and he hears the death rattle behind him. What an electrifying start from Afghanistan! 0/1

5.1 OUT! TAKEN! 'The President gets rid of the Bull here'! A massive wicket for Afghanistan and they are on top here. Mohammad Nabi starts with a floated delivery, full and around middle, David Warner goes down to sweep it away, but only manages to get a top edge behind towards short fine leg where Noor Ahmad settles under it and pouches it safely. In-form Wanrer goes and Australia are in big trouble! 32/3

2.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent change of pace from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mitchell Marsh has to walk back after a promising start. Smart cricket from Naveen as he knows Marsh is eager to get on the front foot and drive and Naveen takes pace off, bowling it fuller and around off stump. Marsh goes through with the shot and ends up lifting it high but only towards mid on. Mohammad Nabi there settles under it and snaffles it with the reverse cup. 16/2

14.4 OUT! TAKEN! It would have required something special from Afghanistan to get rid of their 'boogeyman' Glenn Maxwell and Noor Ahmad has provided that moment of brilliance. Hard length outside off, enough width to go after it, Maxwell hangs back and slashes hard at it. The ball goes low and to the left of backward point where Noor Ahmad dives front and across to take a stellar catch with both hands. Gulbadin Naib has picked up another timely wicket and Maxwell departs after a fine knock. 106/6

10.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Going back to seam has worked right away for Afghanistan. Gulbadin Naib bangs it into the pitch and bowls a heavy short ball over the stumps. The height is perfect and Marcus Stoinis gets hurried on and gets a top edge that pops straight up over the keeper's head. The fielders from short third and short fine leg run after it but it is the keeper, Rahmanullah Gurbaz who calls for it and pouches it safely. Naib brings out those guns of his in celebration. 71/4

12.2 OUT! LBW! A huge shout for LBW from the bowler and eventually, the finger goes up. Tim David has a chat with Glenn Maxwell and takes the review. Gulbadin Naib goes wider on the crease and bowls it on a hard length around off and gets it to jag back in a long way off the deck. Tim David gets caught on the crease and gets rapped on the pads. The third umpire is called in and there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows that it is just clipping leg stump and the onfield decision of Out stands. 85/5

15.1 OUT! TAKEN! Rashid Khan strikes a crucial blow here! Matthew Wade goes cheaply and Karim Janat makes amends for his earlier mistake with a brilliant catch. Tossed up, full and on leg, Matthew Wade goes down to sweep it away, but only manages to glove it behind towards short fine leg, the ball is dying on him, but Janat dives forward and takes a fantastic catch. Australia seven down now! 108/7

16.3 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Gulbadin Naib is having the night of his life! He rolls his fingers on the ball and takes all the pace off again, on a length and on middle, Pat Cummins gets completely deceived by the lack of pace and is through his swipe way early, the ball goes through and rattles the stumps. Afghanistan are just two wickets away from a historic win! 111/8

17.2 OUT! TAKEN! You just cannot keep Gulbadin Naib out of this game as he takes a blinder now. Naveen-ul-Haq serves this full and around off, Ashton Agar drives it hard and aerially wide of extra covers, Gulbadin Naib dives low to his left and takes a splendid catch. Afghanistan one wicket away from the win now! 113/9

19.2 OUT! TAKEN! HISTORY FOR AFGHANISTAN! Azmatullah Omarzai bangs this into the pitch, takes pace off, on middle, Adam Zampa clears his front leg away to muscle it down the ground but fails to generate the power as the ball goes flat towards long on where Mohammad Nabi takes the catch with ease. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 21 RUNS! 127/10
