Afghanistan vs Canada Live Updates
1 run.
Final over then. Afghanistan need 15 runs to reach the 200-mark. Ibrahim needs 14 for a century.
On a length, outside off, pace off, Zadran pulls it through mid-wicket for one. 10 from the over, 64 in the last 5!
SIX! My word. This guy is a real treat to watch. How has that gone all the way?
Another short ball, outside off, Rasooli pulls it through mid-wicket for one.
Excellent yorker, at the toes, Ibrahim Zadran manages to dig it out through square leg for a run.
A short ball, outside off, Darwish Rasooli pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.
11 balls left. Afghanistan need 25 more for the 200-mark. Darwish Rasooli walks in next, at number 6, replacing Azmatullah Omarzai.
OUT! CAUGHT! Another catch is taken. Azmat falls for an unlucky 13. A short ball, outside off, Azmatullah Omarzai goes for the pull and swings it pretty well. But the ball is at a good height and hence, he cannot find enough elevation. The ball goes flat and Harsh Thaker actually takes a smart catch near the ropes. A quickfire 31-run stand is broken.
Has Sana returned in time? He hobbled off the field after the 17th over. Don't think so. Dilon Heyliger will bowl the 19th over. 3-0-31-0 so far. The captain has a long chat with the umpire regarding something.
On a length, outside off, Zadran has a hack and the ball goes off the inner half of the bat through mid-wicket. Two more runs to the total. 15 from the over, 54 in the last 4!
Outside off, pushed through the covers for a run.
SIX! SMASH! Straight back down the ground! Full, outside off, Omarzai gets down on a knee and swings it cleanly over the bowler, for a biggie near the sightscreen!
On a length, outside off, Azmatullah Omarzai reaches out and slices it over point for a couple.
ANOTHER WIDE. Jaskaran goes fuller, but this is way too far outside off. Is left alone.
WIDE. A bumper outside off, too high and it is left alone.
A bit too straight, on the pads, Ibrahim Zadran flicks it behind square leg for a run.
On a good length, outside off, punched through the covers for a single.
Another one going off now. It is Kaleem Sana who is seen heading off the field. He still has an over left.
TOP EDGE, LANDS SAFELY! The run of the green is going the way of the Blue. A short ball, around off, hurrying the batter for pace, Ibrahim goes for the pull. But he gets a top edge which goes in the air. However, it lands in no human's land outside the 30-yard circle at mid-wicket! Two runs taken. 14 from the over, 39 in the last 3!
