262 (47.5/50)
263/7 (49.4/50)
Afghanistan beat Pakistan by 3 wickets
So that is it from the first Warm Up game! A big win for Afghanistan but another loss for Pakistan. They have a lot to think about. However, there are two mouth-watering clashes on Saturday with Australia taking on England in Southampton and India taking on New Zealand at The Oval. Both the games begin at 1030 local (0930 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Afghanistan skipper, Gulbadin Naib, says it is a great victory for their team and their supporters. Reckons the wicket was flat and it looked like a 300-plus wicket. Credits the bowlers for how they bowled and he is pleased they restricted them to 260. States Pakistan is one of the best sides in the world and they can't take it easy, they have to give it their all. Ends by thanking the fans for their support.
Pakistan skipper, Sarfaraz Khan, says they did not have enough runs on the board. Mentions they did not bowl well too in the first 10 overs. Further adds it is very tough if they are losing games but then need to back themselves and he hopes they will do well very soon. States the mood in the dressing room is very fine, the batters are doing well but it is their bowling which they have to work on. Says Babar Azam is the best batsman in his team and Wahab Riaz was top notch today.
Hashmatullah Shahidi who is up for an interview says he feels amazing after this win against Pakistan. Mentions he wanted to stay there till the end and finish the game. Mentions there were wickets falling but he stayed calm and Nabi supported him and he finished the game. States the Pakistan pace attack is very good and he is pleased he did well. States this game was important for them and it is a good win for Afghanistan. Thanks the crowd for the support they gave them.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan elected to bat and it was Babar Azam's ton which powered them to 262. They could have got a lot more but Afghanistan bowled really well in the second half of the first innings and in the end, that proved to be the differential factor.
The Pakistan bowling was once again not at its best. The pacers early on took a real pounding, especially Shaheen Afridi. Shadab Khan did have a wicket to his name but was expensive. Although Imad Wasim and Wahab Riaz were the positives for Pakistan. The former was extremely accurate and the latter was exciting to watch. Had it not been for the two, Afghanistan would have had a stroll in the park.
It was always going to be a tricky chase and it turned out to be that way. Yes, Afghanistan got off to a flier, courtesy their openers but Shahzad then had to retire hurt and Zazai fell a run short of a half ton. The brakes were then applied but the good thing for Afghanistan was, they did not lose wickets. They stitched handy stands and Shahidi was the mainstay. He anchored the innings and the rest played around him. His 50-plus run stand with Nabi was the one which probably took Afghanistan to the brink of victory. However, there was drama in the end where they lost a few wickets quickly, Shahidi and Rashid Khan held their nerves and ensured they got home.
What a game that was in the end! What a win for Afghanistan. Yes, it is just a warm-up match, but this will be a morale booster for the minnows heading into just their 2nd World Cup.

Is that a drop catch? Well, Azam is in pain here. That was hit very hard but if it was a chance, it should have been taken. Replays though shows it was a chance. Has Azam just dropped the match here.

Imad Wasim To Asghar Afghan OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Two in two overs for Imad Wasim! Poor shot selection from Afghan. The big hit was just not needed. Afghan comes down the track and looks to go with the angle. He ends up yorking himself though. The ball goes under the bat and hits the stumps behind. Game very evenly poised now.

Shadab Khan To Hazratullah Zazai OUT!
OUT! In the air... and what a catch there by Malik. What a return for Shadab, he strikes on his very first ball in his comeback game. Zazai falls one short of a half ton. The googly probably, it is fuller and on middle. Zazai looks to go against the spin, in the area he loves, over mid-wicket. Gets a top edge, it goes high up in the air towards the deep there. Mailk makes good ground to his right and takes a sliding catch. End of an entertaining innings from Zazai. He has got Afghanistan to a very good start. It will be interesting to see which team capitalizes now.
Shadab Khan is on now!
