Qais Ahmad to Kamindu Mendis

Qais Ahmad to Kamindu Mendis
Slides it on the middle and off on a fuller length, Kamindu Mendis clears his front foot and lifts it over the mid-wicket and scampers quickly for a second. He reaches home in time. Good fielding there by Gurbaz in the deep.

Qais Ahmad to Kamindu Mendis
Only a single this time. Full and on off, Kamindu Mendis drives it along the ground to long off for just one.

Qais Ahmad to Sadeera Samarawickrama
Well bowled. This is clever bowling. Qais does not provide any room to Sadeera and bowls on fuller on the middle and leg, he carves it back to the bowler.

Qais Ahmad to Sadeera Samarawickrama
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A crucial, crucial wicket and Qais Ahmed has just dismissed the man in-form Sadeera Samarawickrama on 23 off 12. Qais Ahmad flattens the trajectory this time and bowls a quicker one slightly outside off on a tad fuller length, Sadeera Samarawickrama with no real foot movement looks to clear the infield over the covers but he plays over the line of the ball and takes a faint inside edge off his blade. The ball magnets to the keeper's gloves in the end, who takes a good reaction catch behind the wickets. Qais Ahmad was brought in as the concussion sub and he did the job quite well for his team and has put Afghanistan in a commanding position now. A few dot balls created more pressure on Sadeera Samarawickrama and he tries to release it  with the big shot but fails dramatically and walks back to the hut.

Qais Ahmad to Angelo Mathews
On a dragged length around middle, Angelo Mathews tucks it across to mid-wicket for a single and gets off the mark. A sensational over from Qais as he concedes just 4 runs from it and also picks an important wicket of Sadeera Samarawickrama.

Mohammad Nabi to Angelo Mathews
OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! The bat change did not work fro Angelo Mathews and he holes out now. This is floated, full and around middle, Angelo Mathews goes down to slog-sweep it, connects well but fails to get the elevation and hits it flat and straight into the hands of Qais Ahmad at deep mid-wicket who makes no mistake. Sri Lanka loses half their side now and still needs 59 runs off 25 balls now!

Mohammad Nabi to Dasun Shanaka
Slower through the air, full and on middle, Dasun Shanaka tucks it straight short mid-wicket. Just 3 runs and a big wicket of Mathews from the over.

Noor Ahmad to Kamindu Mendis
DROPPED! It is all happening here in Dambulla! Noor Ahmad bowls this quicker, short and on middle, Kamindu Mendis tries to heave it away but gets a top edge high in the air, Wafadar Momand at short fine leg never really looked comfortable and spills it out. They cross. Sri Lanka needs 46 runs in the last three overs.

Karim Janat to Dasun Shanaka
Back of a length and on middle, slower too, Dasun Shanaka is early through his heave and misses, the ball goes off his pads to the leg side. A lge bye is taken.

FOUR! FIFTY FOR MENDIS! Sri Lanka gets 10 off the over! Karim Janat pitches this one up and around middle, Kamindu Mendis once again goes down across and scoops it towards the fine leg fence for another boundary. Mendis gets his maiden T20I half-century, but will he be able to take the Lankans home here?

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dasun Shanaka
Right in the blockhole, on middle, Dasun Shanaka digs it out towards extra covers for just a single. Sri Lanka needs 35 runs off 11 balls now.

FOUR! A boundary now! The crowd is up on their feet here. Azmatullah Omarzai pitches this one up and around off, Dasun Shanaka takes a couple of steps forward and thrashes it over extra covers for four more runs. Sri Lanka needs 24 runs in 8 balls now!

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dasun Shanaka
OUT! RUN OUT! Excellent piece of fielding from the President and the crowd goes absolutely silent here. Azmatullah Omarzai bangs in a sharp short ball here, in the middle, Dasun Shanaka gets hurried and miscues his pull shot in front of deep mid-wicket, he turns around for the second run, but Mohammad Nabi is quick to pounce on the ball and delivers a rocket throw at the batter's end where Mohammad Ishaq does the rest. Shanaka puts in a dive in but that does not save him and the replay confirms it as well. He has to walk back just when he was starting to get going.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Akila Dananjaya
FOUR! Akila Dananjaya hits a crucial boundary here! Azmatullah Omarzai lands this back of a length and around off, Akila Dananjaya backs away a bit and swats it over and wide of mid off for four runs. Sri Lanka needs 19 runs in the last over!

Wafadar Momand to Kamindu Mendis
MISFIELD AND FOUR! Not what Afghanistan needed at this time. Wafadar Momand lands this on a good length and on middle, Kamindu Mendis swings across the line but gets an inside edge toward short fine leg, Karim Janat tries to rush to the ball but lets it through for a boundary. 15 in 5 now!

Wafadar Momand to Kamindu Mendis
An appeal for LBW, but turned down! Wafadar Momand nails the yorker this time, on leg, Kamindu Mendis tries to heave it away but misses and the ball hits his pads on the full. Afghanistan take the review. UltraEdge shows no bat involved and Ball Tracking indicates the impact is outside leg. The Afghans lose a review but it is a previous dot for them. Sri Lanka needs 15 in 4 now!

Wafadar Momand to Kamindu Mendis
FOUR! Kamindu Mendis finds the fence with his go-to shot again! Wafadar Momand takes pace off this time, and pitches it up, on middle, Kamindu Mendis once again shuffles across and nails his scoop past short fine leg for another boundary. He has played this shot to perfection in this game.

Wafadar Momand to Kamindu Mendis
Oh..wow! That is a close call! Wafadar Momand loses his grip and bowls a very high full toss, on off, Kamindu Mendis tries to slog it away but misses. It looks above the waist height to the naked eye but the umpires do not think so. Mendis is not happy and wants to take a review but that is not how it works.

Wafadar Momand to Kamindu Mendis
Wafadar Momand bangs in a slower bouncer, but this one is too high, Kusal Mendis leaves it alone. Wided. Still 10 needed in 2 ball snow!

SIX! BANG! Kamindu Mendis finishes with a maximum but that will not be enough. Wafadar Momand lands this back of a length and on middle, Kamindu Mendis clears his front leg away and whacks it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. AFGHANISTAN WIN BY 3 RUNS!
