39.1 OUT! RUN OUT! That is such an unlucky way to get out for Kusal Mendis! He looked all set for a ton but now falls. First it was a dropped catch! On middle, this is hit back towards the bowler. Rashid Khan spills it, it hits his hand and hits the stumps at his end. Kusal Mendis is short. Is the fortune changing now? 226/6

Lands it on a length and around off, it pitches and moves away. Sadeera Samarawickrama looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge and the keeper takes it. 86/3

A big wicket for Sri Lanka as the dangerous Rahmanullah Gurbaz goes back for a low score Rajitha serves this full again and around off, shaping away this time, Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks to slash at it but only manages to get an outside edge behind where Kusal Mendis pouches it safely.

Afghanistan lose both their openers now! 27/2

8.1 OUT! LBW! Matheesha Pathirana strikes straightaway! Gulbadin Naib's short cameo comes to an end now. Pathirana begins with a good-length delivery, around middle and leg, skids through too, Gulbadin Naib is stuck in his crease and is late into his flick shot and misses to get hit on the pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Naib takes the review though but it looks plumb unless he has hit it. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates three reds. Afghanistan lose Naib and the review as well! 50/3

18.4 OUT! TAKEN! The slower ball does the trick and Rajitha gets the big fish! Bowls it on a length, pace off. Shah looks to loft it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. It lobs straight in the hands of Pathirana at mid on who makes no mistake. The partnership is finally broken. 121/4

26.3 OUT! TAKEN! Maheesh Theekshana gets a major breakthrough for Sri Lanka. They needed it desperately and are happy to see the back of Mohammad Nabi. This is flatter, short and around middle, Mohammad Nabi backs away and tries to heave it away but gets a bit hurried and mistimes it in the air wide of long on where Dhananjaya de Silva runs to his right and takes a fine running catch under pressure. Nabi goes back after a brilliant knock but Afghanistan will need to finish the job without him now. 201/5

35.4 OUT! TAKEN! Kasun Rajitha has the last laugh! This is a huge wicket for Sri Lanka and could be the turning point in this game.

37.4 OUT! LBW! THAT IS IT! DDS HAS DONE IT! This is tossed up, full and on middle, turns away a bit, Fazalhaq Farooqi stays back to defend but plays down the wrong line to get hit on the pads.

SRI LANKA WIN BY 2 RUNS & QUALIFY! 289/10
