19.6

Ziaur Rahman to Jaskarandeep Singh

out, OUT! lbw b Ziaur Rahman.

19.5

Ziaur Rahman to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Pace off again, this time on a fuller length. On leg stump, angling down, Singh is early into his swing and nearly goes through with the shot, but at the last moment, manages to stab it down the deck.

19.4

Ziaur Rahman to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Pace off, short in length outside off, Jaskarandeep Singh looks to cut but is early into his shot and misses.

19.3

Ziaur Rahman to Ansh Patel

1 run, A run out chance, missed! Slower one, fuller on the pads, Patel works it to short mid-wicket and sets off for the single. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.

19.2

Ziaur Rahman to Ansh Patel

no run, Oh, that's right on the money from Rahman. A straight yorker, lands it right on the popping crease around middle stump, Ansh Patel does well to di it out towards cover.

End of over 20 ( 0 Runs )

CAN 117/8

Ansh Patel* 1(3)

Jaskarandeep Singh 11(10)

19.1

Ziaur Rahman to Ansh Patel

no run, Just back of a length, over off and middle, Patel camps back and just nudges it down to point.

Final over of the contest. Ziaur Rahman to bowl. 2-0-23-0 so far.

18.6

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Almost a yorker, following the batter down the leg side, Singh looks to swing hard but misses. The ball goes beneath his legs through to the keeper.

18.5

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

SIX, SIX! SPANKED! And that is why Jaskarandeep Singh refused the single on the previous ball. On a length, around off, Jaskarandeep Singh gets deep in his crease and swings it powerfully over mid-wicket. The ball travels flat but crosses the ropes.

18.4

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Around off, swung down towards long on and this is interesting. Number 9 denies the strike to a number 10!

18.3

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

leg byes, 4 runs, FOUR LEG BYES! Oh, unlucky for the bowler. Another yorker, tailing back into the legs. Jaskarandeep Singh gets the front leg out of the way and squeezes it past the keeper, into the fine leg fence. Hang on, Afghanistan have reviewed this one for LBW. There wasn't much of an appeal to begin with, but the third umpire is called in. Initial replays suggest that the ball missed the inside edge and came right off the pads. Ball Tracking shows that the ball actually pitched outside the line of leg stump. It stays Not Out and it will be leg byes instead of runs.

18.2

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Another one from Ahmadzai, right around the toes. Jaskarandeep Singh fails to dig it out again and gets nutmegged as well.

End of over 19 ( 0 Runs )

CAN 107/8

Jaskarandeep Singh* 1(5)

Ansh Patel 1(2)

18.1

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, A yorker aimed in at the toes, Jaskarandeep Singh gives the charge but fails to dig it out and the ball goes through to the keeper.

Back to pace. Abdullah Ahmadzai returns to bowl the 19th over. 2-0-16-0 so far.

17.6

Mohammad Nabi to Jaskarandeep Singh

1 run, Short, around middle, Singh gets down and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. 2 runs and a wicket from the over and Jaskarandeep Singh goes across to congratulate Nabi for his outstanding bowling spell - 4-0-7-4! Excellent spirit of cricket. Also, these are the best bowling figures in a T20 World Cup for Nabi.

17.5

Mohammad Nabi to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, On middle and leg, holds on the surface, Jaskarandeep looks to flick, but gets a leading edge towards cover.

17.4

Mohammad Nabi to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, DROPPED! Rahmanullah Gurbaz, of all the people, has denied the President a fifer. And everyone is seeing the funny side of it, except Gurbaz. In fact, he is so furious that he has taken his helmet off and furiously flung it onto the ground. Full, around middle and leg, Jaskarandeep Singh looked to play the slog sweep but was early into the shot. The ball came on slowly and took the top edge. Went straight up and behind the sticks. The keeper, Gurbaz charged back towards the ball, while short fine leg got across to his right for the catch as well. In the end, Gurbaz called for the catch and the short fine leg fielder backed off. However, despite getting to the ball, Gurbaz could not hang on!

17.3

Mohammad Nabi to Ansh Patel

1 run, Slightly short on middle, worked away from inside the crease andthrough backward square leg for a single.

Now, batting out becomes a serious challenge.

17.2

Mohammad Nabi to Ansh Patel

no run, Flatter one on the pads, tapped across to mid-wicket.

End of over 18 ( 0 Runs )

CAN 105/8

Dilon Heyliger* 3(8)

Jaskarandeep Singh 0(1)

17.1

Mohammad Nabi to Dilon Heyliger

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh dear... nearly a big collision but all's well that ends well. Mohammad Nabi stays around the wicket to the right-hander and floats it up on a nagging length on leg. Dilon Heyliger stays deep in the crease, looks for the slog but miscues it badly. The ball gets sliced up high towards backward point where Abdullah Ahmadzai seems to be settling under it. However, the keeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz calls for it and runs after it. Ahmadzai doesn't hear his call, or didn't want to hear it and snatches the catch just before Gurbaz can pouch it in his gloves. Gurbaz is down on the deck and Ahmadzai is looking perplexed at him. Nabi has his fourth and everyone else can see the funny side of Gurbaz's fall.

16.6

Rashid Khan to Jaskarandeep Singh

no run, Full and around off, Jaskarandeep Singh lunges to defend. A wicket and 3 runs from the over, Rashid Khan finishes with bowling figures of 4-0-19-2.

19 balls left. 3 wickets in hand for Canada to try and play out their 20 overs. Jaskarandeep Singh walks in next, at number 9, replacing Saad Bin Zafar.

16.5

Rashid Khan to Saad Bin Zafar

out, OUT! BOWLED! Simple as you like. Tossed up, outside off, Saad Bin Zafar looks to hit it through the off side but the ball lands and then spins back in viciously, to go past the bat and hit the timber. Second wicket for the champion and Zafar's fight ends. 101/5 becomes 105/7 in the span of 11 balls.

16.4

Rashid Khan to Dilon Heyliger

1 run, A short ball, outside off, Dilon Heyliger pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.

End of over 17 ( 0 Runs )

16.1

Rashid Khan to Dilon Heyliger

no run, Drags the length back and darts the googly into the pads, does Rashid. Dilon Heyliger fails to pull it away as the ball stays a touch low.

We will have a bowling change from this end as Mujeeb has bowled out. Rashid Khan to bowl out now. 3-0-16-1 so far.

15.6

Mohammad Nabi to Saad Bin Zafar

no run, GONE DOWN THE LEG SIDE? No, says the umpire. Review not taken. Down the leg side, Saad Bin Zafar looked to flick but missed. There was a noise as the ball went past the bat and the keeper celebrated with an appeal. Later on, smiled while talking to the batter. A run and a wicket from the over, Mohammad Nabi's bowling figures read 3-0-5-3 so far.

15.5

15.2

Mohammad Nabi to Dilon Heyliger

no run, Pushed through quicker on middle and leg, Dilon Heyliger blocks it down the pitch.

A little bit of fightback shown. The 53-run stand gives some respectability to the Canadian total. Next aim - play out the 20 overs. Dilon Heyliger walks in next, at number 8, replacing Harsh Thaker.

End of over 16 ( 0 Runs )

CAN 101/6

Harsh Thaker* 30(24)

Saad Bin Zafar 27(23)

15.1

Mohammad Nabi to Harsh Thaker

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammad Nabi is showing he's still got it, a third wicket for him in this game. Nabi comes around the wicket and bowls it bit round-arm, creating an angle from wide of the crease. This is floated up around leg stump and Harsh Thaker looks to sweep it away. The ball comes slower off the deck and the top edge is found. The ball lobs up behind short fine leg, where Mujeeb Ur Rahman back-pedals and reverse-cups it over his head. 100 more needed off 29 balls.

3 wickets for Mohammad Nabi. Mohammad Nabi is on a roll.

The match is dying a slow death. 100 runs in 30 balls does not sound even remotely possible. With how many ever wickets in hand. Mohammad Nabi returns. 2-0-4-2 so far.

Saad Bin Zafar* 23(20)

Harsh Thaker 28(21)

14.1

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Saad Bin Zafar

FOUR, FOUR! Gets it in the gap, does Saad Bin Zafar. Mujeeb drags it down over off and middle, Zafar goes deep in the crease and muscles it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

DRINKS! Time for a breather and Canada are currently 91/5 after 14 overs. 110 runs needed off just 36 balls and the match seems to be going further away from them. However, Harsh Thaker and Saad Bin Zafar have done well to build a bit of a partnership here, finding the fence every now and then as well. They will now look to push as much as possible and have a bit of fun out there in the middle as well. With that said, Mujeeb Ur Rahman (3-0-13-1) returns to the attack.

13.6

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Saad Bin Zafar

1 run, Ahmadzai hits the length hard, bowling it on off, Zafar jams it out to mid off for a single.

13.4

Abdullah Ahmadzai to Saad Bin Zafar

13.3

no run, Dug in short and angled in from outside off, Saad Bin Zafar backs away to club it leg side but is beaten for pace and bounce.

Saad Bin Zafar* 8(10)

Harsh Thaker 25(19)

12.1

Rashid Khan to Saad Bin Zafar

no run, Another appeal for LBW, a meek one this time, turned down again. Oh, they have gone for the review. This one does't look much close but the third umpire will have a look. Shorter leg-break, turning into the pads, sharply too. Saad Bin Zafar gets caught on the back foot and wears it on the pads. Ball Tracking quickly confirms that the ball is pitching outside the line of leg stump. NOT OUT and a review lost for Afghanistan.

11.6

Ziaur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

no run, An appeal for caught behind, turned down. Rahmanullah Gurbaz seems confident but doesn't get much support and Rashid Khan opts against the review. Fullish length around off, slides back in sharply. Harsh Thaker looks to cut close to the body but the ball whizzes past the outside edge.

11.5

Ziaur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

FOUR, FOUR! Oh, oopsie! Short and wide outside off, slapped away square through the off side. Abdullah Ahmadzai at deep point runs to his right and slides in to make a half stop but the ball rolls off his body and goes into the fence.

11.4

Ziaur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

FOUR, FOUR! Not where Thaker intended that to go. Short of a length, angled into the batter. Harsh Thaker looks to swivel and pull but ends up completely miscontrolling the shot. The ball gets spliced away over the keeper and rolls into the deep third fence.

11.4

Ziaur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

1^wd

wide, 1 run, WIDE. Slower bumper, in and around off, Thaker hops up to ramp it away but misses. Wide called for being too high.

11.2

10.5

no run, Dragged length around off, punched off the back foot to short extra cover.

10.4

Rashid Khan to Saad Bin Zafar

no run, Oh, sharp turn here. There's an appeal for LBW as well, turned down. Rashid Khan does review it, though. Good length on middle, this one is bowled from the front of the hand. Saad Bin Zafar gets a big stried out but almost gets cut in half as the ball pings him on the front pad. The replays roll in and there's clearly no bat involved. However, Ball Tracking shows the wickets as 'umpire's call.' It stays Not Out.

10.3

Rashid Khan to Saad Bin Zafar

SIX, SIX! Well struck! Full and on off, Saad Bin Zafar clears the front leg and swats it flat over long on for a biggie. Canada plenty more of these.

10.2

End of over 11 ( 0 Runs )

Canada have lost half their side now. Saad Bin Zafar walks in at number 7 now.

8.6

Rashid Khan to Shreyas Movva

out, OUT! CAUGHT! That's a fine catch in the deep and a clever bit of bowling this from Rashid Khan. Rashid delivers this one from behind the stumps, bowling it flat and full around middle. Shreyas Movva shovels the sweep flat and hard over square leg and Ziaur Rahman charges in from the deep, diving forward to take a fine catch.

5 wickets down for CAN. Out batsman is Shreyas Movva

CAN 45/4

Harsh Thaker* 3(8)

Shreyas Movva 1(3)

8.1

Rashid Khan to Harsh Thaker

no run, Oh, how has that missed the stumps? Even the keeper is perplexed. Rashid starts with a googly, bowling it flatter and around off. Harsh Thaker looks to block down the line but the ball turns past the inside edge and goes a couple of inches over the middle stump.

No respite for Canada as Rashid Khan now brings himself into the attack. Rashid gets a rousing welcome from the Chepauk crowd.

7.2

Mohammad Nabi to Nicholas Kirton

out, OUT! CAUGHT! You cannot keep Ibrahim Zadran out of the game. Mohammad Nabi bowls it a bit more round arm and around middle. Nicholas Kirton goes for the big heave but ends up mistiming it high and over the mid on region. Zadran comes in from the deep, settles under it and pouches it safely. A second wicket for 'Mr. President.' Canada are now 43/4, needing 158 more off just 76 balls.

End of over 8 ( 0 Runs )

5.3

Mohammad Nabi to Nicholas Kirton

no run, Fuller, around middle and off, pushed towards cover.

DRINKS BREAK. What seemed like a promising start, is going all haywire now for Canada. They seem to be wanting to make the most of the Powerplay, but that over intent has cost them 3 wickets in the span of 19 balls. Afghanistan started off poorly with the ball, but have come back strongly. Time for a bit of a rebuild. Nicholas Kirton walks in next, at number 5, replacing Yuvraj Samra.

5.2

Mohammad Nabi to Yuvraj Samra

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket for spin. Canada seem to be imploding here. Landed outside off, Yuvraj Samra comes down the track and looks to swing it to the leg side. But he is not to the pitch of the ball and only suceeds in getting a leading edge which goes towards cover. Easy catch for Azmatullah Omarzai there. CANADA ARE 33/3 NOW. EQUATION - 168 RUNS, 88 BALLS.

3 wickets down for CAN. Out batsman is Yuvraj Samra

Yuvraj Samra 17(13)

5.1

Mohammad Nabi to Harsh Thaker

1 run, Short, outside off, Harsh Thaker punches it through the covers for a single. Direct hit at the bowler's end might have been harsh for Thaker.

The President, Mohammad Nabi, will bowl the final over of the Powerplay.

4.6

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

1 run, RUN OUT CHANCE MISSED! Short, outside off, Harsh dragged the ball through square leg. He set off for the single but the fielder got to the ball quickly. When he was ready to throw, Harsh was halfway. Should have been an easy run out but the fielder returns a wild throw which goes well past the bowler towards long off.

4.5

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

no run, On middle and leg, worked towards short mid-wicket.

4.4

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Harsh Thaker

no run, On a length, around off, skids through, Harsh stays back to block.

4.2

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Yuvraj Samra

1^lb

leg byes, 1 run, Short, around middle, Samra goes for the pull but misses. The ball hits his front thigh and the Afghans appeal, but the umpire shakes his head. Possibly going down leg. The ball deflects past the off stump and the batters take a leg bye.

Early jitters for Canada again. Harsh Thaker walks in next, at number 4, replacing Navneet Dhaliwal. A bit of a problem for Yuvraj Samra with his right palm and the physio is treating him. All in readiness now.

3.5

Azmatullah Omarzai to Navneet Dhaliwal

out, OUT! CAUGHT! Navneet Dhaliwal's final innings in international cricket ends pretty quickly. A knock which lasted just 5 balls and could not see any run being scored. A short ball, outside off, Dhaliwal rocks back and cuts it pretty hard. But he cannot keep it down and the ball goes straight to Darwish Rasooli at deep backward point, who takes it gracefully. Dhaliwal walks back but Rashid Khan runs upto him and pats him on the back. Great sportsmanship. The entire Canadian dugout stands up as one to applaud its champion. But the side is in deep trouble. 30/2 AFTER 3.5 OVERS. EQUATION - 171 RUNS, 97 BALLS!

3.4

Azmatullah Omarzai to Yuvraj Samra

1 run, Outside off, steered behind point for a single.

2.2

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Dilpreet Bajwa

out, OUT! BOWLED! Not what Canada needed. The carrom ball, outside off, Dilpreet Bajwa goes back to cut but just does not pick the carrom ball. Misses it and the ball hits the leg stump. The quickfire opening stand is broken. CANADA ARE 25/1. EQUATION - 177 RUNS, 106 BALLS.

End of over 3 ( 2 Runs )

CAN 25/0

Yuvraj Samra* 12(7)

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Yuvraj Samra

1 run, Full, around middle and off, Yuvraj Samra drills it straight, down to long on for a single.

1.6

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dilpreet Bajwa

SIX, SIX! That's good as the one on the off side earlier in the over. On a length, outside off, Dilpreet Bajwa comes down the track and nonchalantly flicks it over mid-wicket! 13 from the over and Canada need another 177 RUNS IN 108 BALLS!

1.5

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dilpreet Bajwa

no run, YUVRAJ SAMRA ESCAPES A CLOSE CALL. That would have been a horrible way to get out. On a length, around off, Bajwa hit it straight back. The bowler tried to get across to his right and managed to deflect it to the stumps behind.

Third umpire time! Now then. Do we have a wicket here? Azmatullah Omarzai is confident and reckons that Yuvraj Samra might be run out here! It is referred upstairs. Oohh... touch and go. Has the ball just bounced in? Yes!

1.4

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dilpreet Bajwa

no run, Full and straight, Dilpreet pushes it towards mid on.

1.3

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dilpreet Bajwa

no run, A quicker bumper, outside off, angling in, Bajwa arches back and looks to play the upper cut but is beaten by pace.

1.2

Azmatullah Omarzai to Dilpreet Bajwa

SIX, SIX! Ho ho ho! Canada are up for this, alright! What a handsome stroke by the skipper. On a length, outside off, Dilpreet Bajwa stands tall, rises with the bounce and lofts it with grace over cover. However, so sweet is the timing that the ball flies over the ropes!

End of over 2 ( 2 Runs )

CAN 12/0

Yuvraj Samra* 11(6)

Dilpreet Bajwa 1(1)

1.1

Azmatullah Omarzai to Yuvraj Samra

0.2

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Yuvraj Samra

no run, On middle and leg, Samra looks to flick but plays all around it and is hit on the pads. A mild appeal for LBW goes unheeded. Missing leg comfortably.
