Avishka Fernando	88	88	8	3	100
c Ibrahim Zadran b Fareed Ahmad 26.2 OUT! GONE! Finally, the breakthrough is here. Afghanistan needed it badly. Short of a length and outside off, Avishka Fernando cuts on the up but straight to Ibrahim Zadran who takes a sharp catch. Avishka Fernando goes after a fine knock. 182/1 51.14% DotBall 48.86% Scoring Shots 8 Ball per Boundary
Kusal Mendis C Wk	16	31	1	0	51.61
c Gulbadin Naib b Mohammad Nabi 35.2 OUT! GONE! Mohammad Nabi gets a reward for his bowling. Very full and on middle, Mendis comes down the track and heaves across but gets too close to it and edges up hitting it high and to mid on. Gulbadin Naib runs to his right and takes it. 225/2 58.06% DotBall 41.94% Scoring Shots 31 Ball per Boundary
Sadeera Samarawickrama	45	36	4	1	125
c Azmatullah Omarzai b Fareed Ahmad 47.1 OUT! TAKEN! Slower ball into the pitch. Samarawickrama tries to pull it away but doesn't time well and Azmatullah Omarzai at deep mid-wicket takes it. A fine innings from Samarawickrama though! 345/3 27.78% DotBall 72.22% Scoring Shots 7 Ball per Boundary

b Pramod Madushan 1.1 OUT! BOWLED! First one goes. On a length and around off, hints of inward shape. Gurbaz looks to tuck this but misses and it goes through the small gap onto the stumps. Rahmanullah Gurbaz should have done better. 5/1 66.67% DotBall 33.33% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Ibrahim Zadran	4	7	1	0	57.14
c Pathum Nissanka b Pramod Madushan 3.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The other openers gone. Just what Afghanistan didn't want is happening.

Rahmat Shah	7	14	0	0	50
c Kusal Mendis b Dushmantha Chameera 6.2 OUT! GONE! Another one bites the dust! Dushmantha Chameera gets one now. Short of a length and outside off, swings away.

Hashmatullah Shahidi C	7	11	1	0	63.63
b Pramod Madushan 5.2 OUT! WOW! Pramod Madushan is in some rhythm! A length ball, around off, it lands and shapes in. Shahidi plays through the line but gets beaten on the inside edge and it clips the stumps. Afghanistan in deep trouble. 19/3 63.64% DotBall 36.36% Scoring Shots 11 Ball per Boundary
