Match Ended   
123/9 (20.0/20)
178/8 (20.0/20)
Afghanistan beat Scotland by 55 runs
That is all from this game. Now all eyes on India as they take on Bangladesh in their warm up match. Join us on 1st of June at 8pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). Join us early for the coverage. Cheers.
Scotland will be gutted. They did well with the ball in the fag end of the innings and had the momentum with them while they came out to chase but did not showed enough intent and kept losing wickets. It never felt like they were in the chase to be honest. Watt influenced a bit in the fag end but it was too late. Scotland would have done a bit of more damage had the top order contributed a bit more. A comfortable win for Afghanistan.
An easy win for Afghanistan and they will be really happy with how they have played this match. They showed enough quality in all three departments to get over the line. Earlier it was the stand between Azmatullah Omarzai and Naib that took Afghanistan to a massive total. The latter put on a show, Naib was in surreal touch. Later, the spinners came up clutch. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan ran through the top order and never allowed Scotland to change gears in any moment.
