Slower one to end the over and it is a dot and a maiden as Gunathilaka defends it back to the bowler. Nissanka shimmied out again and looked to muscle that to the long-on fence but the ball moved away a bit and missed the blade. Full on middle and off and Rajapaksa stands and delivers and smashes this over the long-off boundary for a maximum. Rare loose ball on the pads and Rajapaksa flicks it through midwicket for a single and gets off the mark. Four dots and Gunathilaka almost chops on off the fifth delivery as he gets a thick inside edge. Boundary off the fifth ball of the over however, as Rajapaksa gets low and hammers it ovr cover for a boundary. Googly to end the over and Karunaratne goes deep in his crease and carves it behind point for a single. He gets off the mark with a single after two dot balls. A half-shout by the keeper but the umpire is unmoved. The fielder in the deep gets a hand to it but then ends up parrying it over the rope. Loud LBW appeal off the last ball of the over but the umpire is not convinced and Nabi goes upstairs for the review. Karunaratne just about squeezes out a single off the last ball to keep strike.

Theekshana is appealing for a run-out with a deflection at the bowler's end. A bunch of youngsters stepped up for them, and they have sent a loud and clear message to the rest of the competition - Afghanistan cricket has arrived at the 2022 Asia Cup! 9.2 M Theekshana to Hazratullah Zazai, out Ibrahim Zadran Run Out!! Fazalhaq Farooqi, Man of the Match: I was trying to make a breakthrough for my team, that was the simple plan today. There was too much grass, there wasn't too much in it for the spinners but still our world-class spinners should have done better. We’ll be ready nice and early for that one, hopefully the game lives up to that rivalry!
