Inn Break
Right then, we witnessed an exciting chase here in Pune where Afghanistan has come out to be the more dominant team. Their campaign gets better and better with every match and we might just see them qualify for the semi-finals of this tournament. We have another exciting match on Tuesday, the 31st of October at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata where Pakistan will go up against Bangladesh. The game will begin at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT) but our build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Hashmatullah Shahidi, the skipper of Afghanistan starts by saying that he is very happy and proud of the team as they performed well in all three departments. Adds that the win over Pakistan gave them a lot of confidence to chase down any target and the way they started with the ball was excellent and it was a professional performance. Mentions that all the coaching staff and managing staff push them hard and rally them on and especially Jonathan Trott gave them a lot of confidence in the last game. On his knock, adds that he is the captain and he has to play his role well and is happy to have done that. On Rashid Khan playing his 100th ODI, he says that Rashid Khan is a special player and he brings joy to the team as well. Ends by thanking the people of Afghanistan for their support and applauds the Indian crowd as well for backing them throughout.
Sri Lanka's skipper Kusal Mendis says they were short of runs in the first innings and that 280 to 300 would have been a competitive score to put on the board. He adds that in the second innings, the bowlers bowled really well, especially in the first 10 overs, but after that, the dew started forming and it became tougher to bowl. He also adds that later in the match the pitch started to favour the Afghanistan batters as the ball came on to the bat much better. Ends by saying that Dilshan Madushanka has bowled well in recent times and he is young and learning day by day.
Fazalhaq Farooqi is the Player of the Match for his sensational spell of bowling. He starts by thanking the almighty and says that it is pretty good to get three wins in the tournament and it feels good to contribute to the win. Adds that he was looking for the swing but he didn't get that and hence got away from attacking the stumps and just looked to bowl in good areas. Mentions that they have struggled in the past in the death overs and he tried to use the variations and worked on the death overs in the off days.
The Presentation ceremony…
Earlier in the game we saw Pathum Nissanka give a strong start to the Lankan innings followed by some solid knocks from Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama but no batter could play a big innings and Sri Lanka leap-frogged to the 240-run mark. It was Fazalhaq Farooqi who impressed everyone with his bowling performance as he clinched four wickets for 34 runs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan weaved their spin magic and troubled the batters taking a wicket each along with one wicket from Azmatullah Omarzai. Afghanistan was the dominant team from the first innings itself with their strong bowling performance.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, will have a win to rejoice as an amazing performance by the batters has kept them alive in this tournament. It is a story of success for the Afghans from the last ODI World Cup where they were placed last on the table to this one where they have a chance to finish in the top 4. After an early setback with Rahmanullah Gurbaz getting dismissed pretty early it seemed a very difficult chase for the batters. Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah took things into their own hands and built a steady partnership and stabilized the innings. Afterwards, the skipper played a captain's knock as he kept the runs coming and didn't allow his team to face the pressure. In the end, Hashmatullah Shahidi along with a pumped-up Azmatullah Omarzai finished the innings in just over 45 overs and helped the team secure another victory. Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, and Azmatullah Omarzai all contributed with the bat, scoring half-centuries but not to take credit from Ibrahim Zadran who played a steady innings under pressure. It was an all-round performance from the Afghans and they will take home a lot of confidence for their next match to come.
Sri Lanka had to defend a meager score of 241 to clinch another win. Dilshan Madushanka gave them a very important breakthrough in the first over itself and put them on the strong foot but after that, the game started slipping out of their hands. They failed to bowl to their strength and allowed the Afghan batters to get used to the pitch and build strong partnerships. It was Dilshan Madushanka again providing them with another wicket and breaking the partnership as he dismissed Ibrahim Zadran. Kasun Rajitha got his first wicket in this match by dismissing Rahmat Shah but not after the latter had done the damage. After that none of the bowlers managed to take wickets and a lack of invention hurt them. Afghanistan managed to chase down the target in just over 45 overs and has put Sri Lanka in a tough spot and almost spoiled their chance to qualify in the top 4.
It was an amazing run-chase here in Pune. Afghanistan have powered their way to their third win and have registered back-to-back wins in any World Cup for the first time by beating the Lankans. Some very strong partnerships and sensible game style have helped the Afghans have a chance to finish in the top 4 and qualify for the semi-finals. The Lankan bowlers tried hard but were short of taking a few wickets. One dropped chance and some poor bowling didn’t go in their favor either. It was a day for the pacers as they proved strong on this surface. Overall, it was a good display of cricket from both the sides but Afghanistan were simply the better team.

This is pitched up on middle and leg, attacking the toes, Azmatullah Omarzai clears the front leg and looks to end proceedings with a bang as he heaves it away toward mid-wicket. The connection isn't great and the ball goes straight to Charith Asalanka at the fence and he spills it. The batters cross for a single and Afghanistan win by 7 wickets!

Kasun Rajitha To Azmatullah Omarzai
Overthrows and they do get the single eventually. Back of a length outside off, Azmatullah Omarzai stays back and dabs it to the left of backward point looking for the single but the fielder makes a good stop. The ball is flicked back at the striker's end but the throw is wide and both batters are alive to the situation as they cross over for a run.

Kasun Rajitha To Azmatullah Omarzai
The timing on that is sublime. Slightly back of a length and outside off, Azmatullah Omarzai stands tall and firms it on the up wide of deep cover. Pathum Nissanka is quick to run around to his right and keeps it down to a couple of runs.
Drinks are on the field as some saw dust is requested by the fielding team. It is anyone's game from here on. Afghanistan have done well to build steady partnerships but they are losing wickets during crucial times which may put them under pressure later in the innings. Sri Lanka too will want to take a few more wickets to strengthen their hold on this game. The game can turn in anyone's favour and both teams will need to play carefully and not let the pressure come back on them.

Kasun Rajitha To Rahmat Shah OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Kasun Rajitha provides the breakthrough and Sadeera Samarawickrama will be a very relieved man. Rajitha bowls a cross-seamed delivery on length and on the pads and the ball holds up a touch in the pitch. Rahmat Shah tries to play it across the line on the leg side but the leading edge sends the ball straight up in the air. Dimuth Karunaratne the fielder at mid on completes a safe catch and the drop on the previous ball did not prove fatal for the Lankans as a set Rahmat Shah is dismissed the very next ball.

Wide! Attempted bumper at the body from over the wicket but this is pushed well down leg for a wide.
It is time for drinks as the players get a breather. Sri Lanka had started well after taking an important wicket in the first over but the partnership between Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah stabilized the game in the favour of Afghanistan. Now Sri Lanka have a chance to bounce back as they have dismissed Ibrahim Zadran. Afghanistan on the other hand needs a few more strong partnerships to chase down the target. Hashmatullah Shahidi is the new batter to walk in.

OUT! CAUGHT! Something had to give and Dilshan Madushanka has got the breakthrough for his side. A well-directed short ball, over off and angled in, cramping the batter for room. Ibrahim Zadran bends his back and lets the ball come on before attempting the ramp. There's not much pace on the bat and Zadran doesn't quite get it off the middle of the bat as well. The ball flies down to third man where Dimuth Karunaratne comes in and takes a good low catch in front of him. Sri Lanka right back in it now.
