AFG vs NED Live Cricket Score

2.3 OUT! BOWLED! GONE! A wicket against the run of play and Gurbaz will be very disappointed with that. Back of a length, on off. Gurbaz goes for the mighty pull but the ball is quite close to his body. All he gets is the inside edge on it and the ball goes back onto the stumps. Gurbaz is down on his knees as the umpires are checking if Vivian Kingma has overstepped. The replays roll in a couple of times and Gurbaz is asked to walk back to the hut. 16/1

18.3 OUT! TAKEN! Ghani loses the wicket and Philippe Boissevain is rewarded for his good bowling. He sees Ghani dancing down the track so tosses it up, on middle but drags his length back a bit. Ghani still goes for the heave but doesn't middle it. The ball goes high and straight down the ground. Colin Ackermann runs across from long on and takes an easy catch. 75/2

36 OUT! LBW! GONE! Colin Ackermann with the golden arm gets the big wicket of Rahmat Shah. He was the mainstay for Afghanistan so far and his wicket would provide the Dutch with an important opening. This is plumb though. Flatter, lands around off and turns back in. It stays low too as Shah looks to work it away. The ball hits the pads and there is a 'celebrappeal' from the bowler and the keeper. They are certain that this is out and the umpire raises the finger! A slow 70 from Rahmat, when the time to accelerate is about to arrive, he exits the floor. 141/3

50 OUT! Another wicket for Glover! A top final over by him. Bowls this short and wide outside off, Shahidi top-edges his attempted pull shot to the left of mid on. Philippe Boissevain moves across in that direction and grabs the catch safely. Afghanistan finish on 222/8. 222/8

40.3 OUT! GIVEN LBW! Body blow to Afghanistan as they lose their biggest hitter at the wrong time. Fred Klaassen slants in a length ball around off, the angle takes it into the left-hander as Najibullah Zadran sticks back to work it around. He fails in his attempt and is pinged on the front pad. They appeal and the finger goes up after some time. Netherlands continue to maintain a firm grip. 161/4

42 OUT! Caught and bowled - A soft dismissal! Shahidullah Kamal gets out cheaply in his debut game. Brandon Glover slants in a length ball around middle, it lands and stops a bit onto the batsman who is early into his attempted flick shot. As a result, Kamal closes the face of his bat early and the ball bobbles up off the leading edge. A simple return catch for Brandon Glover and Afghanistan are struggling at the moment. 168/5

48.2 OUT! Stunning presence of mind by Musa Ahmed as he takes the catch! Fuller in length and around off, angling in, Naib targets the fence at long on and powers it towards there with the full swing of his bat. It flies near the rope where Musa Ahmed jumps to collect the catch over his head. He then loses his balance and is quick to release the ball. Goes outside the fence and then returns to safely grab the ball again. The two umpires get together and then refer the decision upstairs. The soft signal is out. The third umpire also feels the same after watching the replays. Fantastic effort. 214/6

49.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Fractionally short and around middle, Rashid steps back to make room and force it over the infield on the off side. But the batter is still cramped for room and only chips a straightforward catch to Bas de Leede at covers. 222/7

31 OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Mujeeb hits the jackpot and this is a massive wicket in the context of this match. This is nicely tossed up, landing around off and not turning much as Scott Edwards leans forward to work it around the corner. The angle made Scott play at it but the ball straightens to beat the edge of his bat and tickles the off pole. A big celebration from Afghanistan as a set batsman in Edwards departs. 102 needed off 114 balls. 121/4

7.5 OUT! TAKEN! Gone! A wicket against the run of play for Afghanistan! The solid stand is broken and this is just what Afghanistan needed. Yamin Ahmadzai bowls a length ball and throws it wider this time. Musa Ahmed goes for the drive but doesn't reach the pitch of the ball. He ends up punching it aerially and straight to the man at cover. Shahidullah Kamal takes an easy catch to end the 32-run opening partnership. 32/1

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT! A sensational reflex catch by Gulbadin Naib. That ball was travelling. Mujeeb dishes out a full delivery outside off, Colin Ackermann rocks back to play the defensive shot but gets a thick outside edge. It rushes to the left of first slip where Gulbadin Naib reacts and gobbles it with both hands. This is a big breakthrough as Colin is the most experienced batter in Netherlands' ranks. 173 needed off 235 balls. 50/2

16.4 OUT! Given lbw! Rashid comes into the attack and does what's expected from him! Quicker through the air, flat and around middle, skidding off the surface, Bas de Leede is caught on the back foot as he attempts to keep it out. He fails to do so and is rapped on the pads. The appeal is made and the finger has gone up as well. Afghanistan continue to chip away at the wickets after the stand for the opening wicket. 153 needed more. 70/3

39.5 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! A much-needed breakthrough for Afghanistan. Yamin delivers it on a length around middle, it skids on with the angle, Pieter Seelaar doesn't cover the line and leaves a big gap as he attempts to work it on the leg side. He misses the ball goes through to shatter the stumps. 71 needed off 61 balls and the task gets tougher for the Dutch team. 152/5

41.5 OUT! RUN OUT! That is brilliant by Rahmanullah Gurbaz! Length ball, on middle and leg. Saqib looks to flick it away but gets hit on the pads. There is an ambitious appeal by the bowler for LBW but the umpire is not interested. They look to sneak in a leg bye but Gurbaz charges in from behind the stumps and dives forward to take the bails off. The TV umpire is called in and the replay shows that Gorlee is miles out. 154/6

44.1 OUT! CASTLED! Rashid Khan takes his team a step closer to the victory line! Flatter, on middle and leg. Saqib Zulfiqar goes for the pull but is hurried by the pace of the ball. It sneaks under his bat and hits the stumps. 170/7

46.3 OUT! BOWLED! Through the gate! Googly, lands on off and comes back in. Philippe Boissevain looks to block but it sneaks through the gate and hits the stumps. 184/8

48 OUT! RUN OUT! There it is! The final wicket to end what has been a brilliant game for Afghanistan. Back of a length, around off. Fred Klaassen looks to heave it away but gets the inside edge on the pads. It rolls to the off side and they look for a single. Najibullah Zadran though runs in from point and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. Fred Klaassen is short and that is the last wicket. Afghanistan win by 36 runs! 186/10

47.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Easy decision for the TV umpire this time! Fullish and around off, Vivian Kingma forces it out on the off side. He crosses for a risky single as the bowler misses his shy at the non-striker's end. Vivian Kingma wants the second but is sent back. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan fires a direct hit at the bowler's end from long on as Vivian Kingma tries to drag his bat inside the safety crease. They appeal and the TV umpire is called. Kingma though is seen to be walking off. The replays find him short. 186/9
