T20 World Cup 2021 Live Score, AFG vs SCO: Afghanistan set 191-run target for Scotland

Runs galore here at Sharjah. A wonderful batting performance from Afghanistan but mind you Sri Lanka chased down a big total pretty comfortably against Bangladesh yesterday. So, Scotland will keep that in mind and fancy their chance. Nonetheless, we saw some serious power-hitting displays from the Afghan players and they will be very happy going into the break. 

Safyaan Sharif to Najibullah Zadran, SIX! Zadran is making sure his side finishes on a high. Full and on off. Zadran hangs back, gets under the ball and muscles it over the long on fence for a biggie. In fact, the ball is outside the ground yet again. Why bother running for these shots. 190 is up for Afghanistan. What a start to their campaign.

Safyaan Sharif to Najibullah Zadran, OUT! CAUGHT! And 190 is what Afghanistan end with. This is their best ever tally in T20 World Cup. A length ball, around off. Zadran looks to go big again, but this time he finds the fielder in the deep. He heaves it across the line towards deep square leg. Brad Wheal moves to his right and takes a sharp catch. Safyaan Sharif bags his second wicket. AFGHANISTAN END THEIR INNINGS AT 190/4.

Josh Davey to Mohammad Nabi, Full and outside off. Nabi guides it above the point fielder. The fielder leaps but the ball goes over him. The batters get a couple.

Josh Davey to Najibullah Zadran, Short and on off. Zadran pulls it through mid-wicket and gets a single. This also brings up his FIFTY. What an innings by the man.

The skipper, Mohammad Nabi is in at number 5.

Josh Davey to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! CAUGHT! Josh Davey gets himself into the wicket's column. The leading wicket-taker for Scotland has struck at the biggest stage. He would be relieved after leaking a few too many runs. A full-length ball, outside off. Gurbaz comes across and throws his bat on it. The ball skies in the air and goes towards extra cover. Kyle Coetzer comes forward and pouches it comfortably.

Josh Davey (3-0-31-0) to bowl the nineteenth over.

Josh Davey to Najibullah Zadran, A length ball, on the pads. Zadran clips it through square leg for a single.

After much convincing from the bowler, Kyle Coetzer does go for the review for an LBW decision. UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows the impact is in line but it's going down leg. Rahmanullah Gurbaz survives and Scotland lose a review.

Mark Watt to Najibullah Zadran, SIX! All the way. Full and on off. Zadran powers it over the long off fence for a maximum.

Mark Watt to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, LEG BYE! NOT OUT! Scotland took the review in hope, but it goes against them. Loopy ball, full and on leg. Gurbaz looks to sweep it away but misses. The ball goes towards fine leg off the pads. The batters sneak a leg bye. Although, Mark Watt wants his skipper to take it upstairs even though the keeper mentioned it is going down leg. In the end, the skipper, goes with the bowler. The Ultra Edge shows the bat was absent. The Ball Tracker showed the ball was missing the wickets. Scotland lose a review here.
