    W
    Dhananjaya to Fazalhaq Farooqi
    pinned on the back leg, and it's given leg before wicket! And for what it's worth, Farooqi reviews. The ball was loopy and full on middle and off, and barely moved back in to beat his defence. There's no bat involved, and ball-tracking shows the ball hitting the middle of middle stump. So Sri Lanka qualify for Super Fours with this two-run win
    37.3
    0
    Dhananjaya to Fazalhaq Farooqi
    full and dipping on off, and tucked to cover
    37.2
    0
    Dhananjaya to Fazalhaq Farooqi
    high full toss on off, and pushed back to the bowler
    37.1
    W
    Dhananjaya to Mujeeb
    lofted straight to long-on! But wait, Afghanistan still have a chance to qualify. If they get to 295 off the next three balls, they can still make it. He bowled a seam-up ball, which was quite full and flat on off. Mujeeb got his front leg out of the way, and ended up giving the fielder a comfortable catch
    36.6
    4
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    inside edge for four! Ah, this is getting tastier by the second. Full length just outside off, as he went hoicking across the line but got one past the off stump for four behind the wicket
    36.5
    4
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    skips down, and swats over extra cover! Makes room too, and gets the ideal length - short and outside off - which he thrashes away
    36.4
    0
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    backs away, and the bowler follows by going shortish and angling into leg. Hacked to cover-point
    36.3
    4
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    pulled to deep square leg! Short and quick on off, as Rashid went slamming from deep in the crease
    36.2
    0
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    looks to heave across the line, but is beaten by this full ball just outside off
    36.1
    0
    Wellalage to Rashid Khan
    ah, fires in a quick yorker just outside off, as Rashid looks to sweep but is beaten
    35.6
    0
    Rajitha to Mujeeb
    yorker length on fifth stump, and jammed to deep extra cover, but they don't run. Rashid wants strike next over, and rightly so
    35.6
    1
    Rajitha to Mujeeb
    bowls quite full, and wide of off. Left alone, and it is called wide
    35.5
    0
    Rajitha to Mujeeb
    There was potentially a single there, but Mujeeb was sent back. He sliced this length ball outside off to point, and took off, and the throw was wide of the stumps at his end, so there was no run-out too
    35.4
    W
    Rajitha to Zadran
    taken by fine leg moving and tumbling to his right! Some late twist here, especially with this over having already gone for quite a few runs. It was the sub fielder Hemantha there. Length ball angled in by Rajitha, as the ball finished around leg stump. Zadran went with the line, and had a big swing, only for the ball to land into the fielder's hands. Big moment in the game
    35.3
    6
    Rajitha to Zadran
    six over long-off! Rajitha serves up a full toss, and Afghanistan can smell qualification now. Angled across, and ending outside off, as Zadran went lofting away from his body
    35.2
    1
    Rajitha to Rashid Khan
    on the bounce to deep third! Looked to hoick this length ball outside off but going across the line and over the on side, but a leading edge flew behind the wicket. The ball, luckily for Rashid, landed between point, deep third and short third
    35.1
    4
    Rajitha to Rashid Khan
    just wide of long-off! Rajitha offered Rashid some length, while angling it away. But the line was pretty wide, and allowed Rashid to loft with a free swing of his arms
    34.6
    0
    Pathirana to Zadran
    ah, nice bowling. Bowls short on leg stump - and with a change of pace - as Zadran ducks. Trott, Afghanistan's coach, looks surprised perhaps because he expected it to be a wide
    34.5
    4
    Pathirana to Zadran
    absolutely crunched to deep extra cover! That flew off his bat, as he lifted this length ball landing just outside off. Attacked it with a flat bat, and got his share of runs
    34.4
    0
    Pathirana to Zadran
    full on off, and he drills it right to mid-off. Crucial dot ball
