| 1.1 : 1.1: Josh Hazlewood to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR! Streaky! Josh Hazlewood begins with a hard-length delivery, on middle, nips back in sharply, Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks to play at it but gets an inside edge just past the stumps and to the fine leg fence for a boundary. First runs off the bat! |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Pat Cummins to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX! BANG! That should release some pressure! Pat Cummins goes fuller this time and on middle, Rahmanullah Gurbaz backs away a bit, swings through the line to tonk it over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Josh Hazlewood to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX! BOOM! Rahmanullah Gurbaz showing good intent now! Back of a length and on middle, Rahmanullah Gurbaz picks up the length early, skips down the track and whacks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 4.5 : 4.5: Josh Hazlewood to Ibrahim Zadran, Four! |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Pat Cummins to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Oh, that is sloppy from Ashton Agar in the deep. Just short of a good length but in the hitting arc, Ibrahim Zadran swings it away aerially and in front of deep backward square leg where Agar runs across to his left and lets it through for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Pat Cummins to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Oh, what an effort in the deep from Adam Zampa and he almost pulled off a stunner there. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Adam Zampa to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Four! |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Glenn Maxwell to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR! A lovely shot to end the over and Afghanistan are 64/0 at the halfway mark. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Ashton Agar to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Fine shot! Ashton Agar goes a bit short and on off, Ibrahim Zadran goes inside out, extends his arms and punches it sweetly over extra covers for a boundary this time. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Marcus Stoinis to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR! Nicely played! |
| 12.1: Adam Zampa to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX! Great shot! |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Adam Zampa to Ibrahim Zadran, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Oh dear! It is Ashton Agar once again! |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Josh Hazlewood to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR! Clever batting! |
| 15.3 : 15.3: Marcus Stoinis to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX! Rahmanullah Gurbaz is relentless! A nothing delivery really from Marcus Stoinis, halfway down the pitch and with not much pace on it. Gurbnaz stands tall and clobbers it over cow corner for a biggie. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Marcus Stoinis to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! c David Warner b Marcus Stoinis. |

| 18.4 : 18.4: Josh Hazlewood to Karim Janat, SIX! Oh, that has traveled all the way! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Josh Hazlewood to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Oh, that's a bit unlucky but a very fruitful over for Afghanistan as 15 runs come off it. Pitched up in the slot and around off, Mohammad Nabi hangs back and hammers it away flat and wide of long off where Cameron Green gets a hand on it but the ball trickles to the fence. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Pat Cummins to Karim Janat, OUT! c Tim David b Pat Cummins. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Pat Cummins to Gulbadin Naib, OUT! c Glenn Maxwell b Pat Cummins. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Pat Cummins to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! 'The President,' Mohammad Nabi manages to end the innings in style for Afghanistan and sets a target of 149 for the Aussies. Just short of a good length, a bit more pace on it and angled in from the middle stump line. Nabi stays back in the crease and backs away before swiping it across and smashing the ball into the mid-wicket fence. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Travis Head, OUT! BOWLED'EM! That is fantastic bowling and fantastic captaincy to give the first over to Naveen-ul-Haq instead of Fazalhaq Farooqi. |
| 1.3: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Top shot! |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Naveen-ul-Haq to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! This is good counter-attacking cricket from Mitchell Marsh here. Full and wide of the off stump, looking to angle it back in, Marsh gets on the front foot and gets to the pitch of the ball before lifting it away square over covers for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Naveen-ul-Haq to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent change of pace from Naveen-ul-Haq and Mitchell Marsh has to walk back after a promising start. Smart cricket from Naveen as he knows Marsh is eager to get on the front foot and drive and Naveen takes pace off, bowling it fuller and around off stump. Marsh goes through with the shot and ends up lifting it high but only towards mid on. Mohammad Nabi there settles under it and snaffles it with the reverse cup. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Too straight from Azmat and that's easy pickings for Glenn Maxwell. Good length but angled into the pads, Maxwell tickles it past the diving keeper and the ball rolls away into the fine leg fence. |

| 5.1 : 5.1: Mohammad Nabi to David Warner, OUT! TAKEN! 'The President gets rid of the Bull here'! |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Nangeyalia Kharote to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Gets it through! Tossed up, full and on off, Glenn Maxwell goes down, almost loses his balance but still manages to execute the reverse sweep towards the third man fence for a boundary. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Nangeyalia Kharote to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! BANG! Maxi goes big now! Nangeyalia Kharote gives this one some more air, full and on middle, Glenn Maxwell goes down on one knee, uses his wrists excellently, and slog-sweeps way over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Noor Ahmad to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! Glorious shot! Flighted, full and on off, Marcus Stoinis goes down quickly, fetches it, and nails his sweep as the ball zips through to the outfield and to the deep square leg fence for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Rashid Khan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! My god, what a shot! |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Gulbadin Naib to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Going back to seam has worked right away for Afghanistan. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Gulbadin Naib to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Well waited by Glenn Maxwell and he has powered that away to the fence. Slower one into the pitch around off and sitting up for the batter, Maxwell gets on the front foot and pulls it in between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: Rashid Khan to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Ominous signs for Afghanistan and they have seen this movie before. Floated full on the stumps and turning away, Glenn Maxwell just clears the front leg and whacks the ball 92-meters and over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Gulbadin Naib to Tim David, OUT! LBW! A huge shout for LBW from the bowler and eventually, the finger goes up. Tim David has a chat with Glenn Maxwell and takes the review. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Gulbadin Naib to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Glenn Maxwell chancing his arm every now and then and he brings up a FIFTY as well, what a knock this has been so far! Pitched up a bit and around off stump, not all that full, Maxwell goes deep in the crease and whacks it high over the bowler's head and just ball just clears the fence. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Naveen-ul-Haq to Glenn Maxwell, MISFIELD AND FOUR! That is catastrophic from Nangeyalia Kharote in the deep and Glenn Maxwell is enjoying it. Short of a length and outside off, Maxwell waits back and slaps the ball through point. The fielder charges in to save the second run but lets it through the hands for a boundary instead. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Gulbadin Naib to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! c Noor Ahmad b Gulbadin Naib. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Rashid Khan to Matthew Wade, OUT! c Karim Janat b Rashid Khan. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Gulbadin Naib to Pat Cummins, OUT! b Gulbadin Naib. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Naveen-ul-Haq to Ashton Agar, OUT! TAKEN! You just cannot keep Gulbadin Naib out of this game as he takes a blinder now. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Adam Zampa, FOUR! Streaky but Australia won't mind that! |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Adam Zampa, OUT! TAKEN! HISTORY FOR AFGHANISTAN! |
