Rashid Khan also took four wickets, cleaning the entire Scotland tail. George Munsey top-scored for Scotland with an 18-ball 25. Earlier, Afghanistan had managed to stitch a total of 190/4, thanks largely to Najibullah Zadran's well-crafted fifty.

T20 World Cup 2021: Afghanistan vs Scotland, Highlights From Sharjah Cricket Stadium
Josh Davey becomes Rashid Khan's third victim. Goes for a reverse sweep but completely misses his shot and the ball hits the pad. Umpire raises his finger. The batsman reviews it but the umpire's decision was the correct one.
That's a fifer for Mujeeb Ur Rahman. He is enjoying this. Mark Watt gets undone by a sharp turn. Brilliant bowling from the Afghanistan spinner. Scotland now 7 wickets down.
Rashid Khan joins the party. Traps Leask plumb in front of the stumps. Scotland now six down with less than 40 runs on the board. Afghanistan are now in the driving seat.
Richie Berrington survives the hattrick but falls on the next ball. He reviews it straight away but he has to go. Mujeeb is on a roll. Three wickets in the same over. Scotland in trouble.
IT'S GONE OUT OF THE GROUND, AGAIN! Zadran has looked like a man on a mission. Afghanistan are upto 190/3. That's their highest total in T20Is. Amazing!!!
Gurbaz departs after a fine knock. The bowler misses the yorker but the batsman couldn't make the most it and puts it straight up. The Scotland skipper, Kyle Coetzer, takes a easy catch.
That's a big hit. Probably the shot of the night so far. The bowler pitches it short and Najib Zadran makes the most of it. He absoultely middled that. 106 metres and hit the roof of the stand. WOW!
Zazai makes room after Sharif bowled it full and on a fifth stump line. Clever shot from the southpaw. Afghanistan look threatening with Zazai firing on all cylinders.
Zazai takes the aerial route. Davey misses his length and the Afghanistan batsman tries to go over midwicket, but edges it over towards the third man boundary.
