Match over
1.1 : 1.1: Mohammad Nabi to Tony Ura, FOUR! Tony Ura with the first boundary for Papua New Guinea. Gets the ball to drift away does Nabi, on a nagging length, outside off, Tony Ura rocks back and cuts it nicely through cover-point for a boundary.
1.5 : 1.5: Mohammad Nabi to Assad Vala, OUT! RUN OUT! Casual running from the Papua New Guinea skipper and he pays the ultimate price.
2.1 : 2.1: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Lega Siaka, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the thick of action again! A golden duck for Lega Siaka.
2.2 : 2.2: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Sese Bau, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in two for Fazalhaq Farooqi! Papua New Guinea have been rocked early.
3.1 : 3.1: Naveen-ul-Haq to Hiri Hiri, OUT! b Naveen-ul-Haq.
5.4 : 5.4: Naveen-ul-Haq to Tony Ura, OUT! BOWLED'EM! 50th T20I wicket for Naveen-ul-Haq! And PNG lose half of their side now.
9.4: Noor Ahmad to Chad Soper, OUT! RUN OUT! Massive miscommunication between the two batters and PNG are in an absolute nightmare here!
12.1 : 12.1: Azmatullah Omarzai to Norman Vanua, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, no! So unfortunate for Norman Vanua and Papua New Guinea.
12.4 : 12.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Alei Nao, FOUR! Nicely done by Nao! Azmatullah Omarzai angles it on the leg stump line, on a fuller length, Alei Nao clips it with soft hands towards deep fine for a boundary.
13.6 : 13.6: Karim Janat to Alei Nao, FOUR! Good strike to end the most productive over of the innings for PNG. 12 runs off it. Janat errs in length as this is too full, on middle, Alei Nao clears his front leg and swings through the line to smack it past the bowler and to the left of mid on for a boundary.
14.5 : 14.5: Rashid Khan to Kipling Doriga, FOUR! Nicely hit!
17.3 : 17.3: Noor Ahmad to Kipling Doriga, FOUR! These are important runs for PNG! Tossed up on off, Kipling Doriga walks down a couple of steps and spanks it over mid-wicket for a boundary.
17.5 : 17.5: Noor Ahmad to Kipling Doriga, OUT! LBW! Noor breaks a brewing partnership here and gets his first wicket. A gem of a delivery!
18.2 : 18.2: Fazalhaq Farooqi to Alei Nao, OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Fazalhaq Farooqi gets his third and he is on a roll here.
18.6 : 18.6: Fazalhaq Farooqi to John Kariko, FOUR! Nicely placed! First boundary conceded by Fazalhaq Farooqi in this game. Pitches it on the back of a length, angling in on off, John Kariko moves leg side of the ball to open up the off side, and simply places the ball through the vacant backward point region for a boundary.
19.5 : 19.5: Naveen-ul-Haq to John Kariko, OUT! RUN OUT! That's the fourth run out for PNG and they get bundled up just before the triple figures.
1.4 : 1.4: Semo Kamea to Ibrahim Zadran, OUT! YOU MISS I HIT! Afghanistan lose the first wicket and Semo Kamea and all the PNG players are ecstatic. And again, a beautiful seam position, tailing into the leg stump line from middle, on a fuller length, Ibrahim Zadran stays leg side of the ball and goes for a heave across the line but the ball stays a bit low on the bounce and skids through quickly beating the batter's inside edge and dismantles the furniture. A duck for Ibrahim Zadran.
1.6 : 1.6: Semo Kamea to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR! Poor line and rightly punished! Angles it into the leg stump line, pitching fuller in length, Rahmanullah Gurbaz plants his front foot in line and clips it through backward square leg for a boundary.
2.3 : 2.3: Alei Nao to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX! Didn't time it perfectly but it has got enough fire to sail through the fence. Lands it on a length, at the stumps, Rahmanullah Gurbaz uses his feet to get to the length of the ball and swipes it across the line, getting the inner half of the bat. He powerfully hits it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. The first one of the game.
2.5 : 2.5: Alei Nao to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Swing and a miss and Gurbaz falls too.
3.6 : 3.6: Semo Kamea to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR! What a glorious on drive! Aims the toes but serves a half-volley, Gulbadin Naib knocks it solidly through mid-wicket for a cracking boundary.
5.4 : 5.4: Chad Soper to Gulbadin Naib, Four!
6.5 : 6.5: Norman Vanua to Gulbadin Naib, Four!
7.3 : 7.3: John Kariko to Azmatullah Omarzai, FOUR! Slashes and slashes hard does Omarzai! Quicker and shorter, on off, Azmatullah Omarzai goes for the cut but gets a thickish outside edge that flies through the vacant short third region for a boundary.
8.4 : 8.4: Norman Vanua to Azmatullah Omarzai, OUT! CASTLED! Not much Azmatullah Omarzai could have done there.
12.1 : 12.1: Norman Vanua to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR! Good shot! Short in length, on the top of off, sets up nicely for the batter, Gulbadin Naib readies himself on the back foot, rolls his wrists and pulls it nicely through deep mid-wicket for a boundary.
13.1: John Kariko to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! Magnificent shot! John Kariko lands it right on the off stump, a half-volley, Mohammad Nabi clears his front leg and drives it inside out over covers for a boundary.
14.1: Alei Nao to Gulbadin Naib, SIX! Absolutely smoked! Alei Nao comes back into the attack and serves it with an upright seam, on a length, around off, Gulbadin Naib clears his front leg nice and early and swats it flat and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.
15.1: Chad Soper to Gulbadin Naib, SIX! Gulbadin Naib finishes the game off in style! Afghanistan are through to the Super 8 stage! Chad Soper serves it right in the slot, on off, Gulbadin Naib picks up the length early and goes down town. Gets more height than distance but gets enough bat on to clear the long on fielder who ran across to his left.
