1.5 to BA King, Knocked him over, Omarzai the King! Such a beauty to bowl early in the spell. Bowls it on a length with a wobble seam, King is unsure of coming forward or staying back. The ball goes straight on, King's half-stride works against him. He is still on the move as the ball ricochets off the inside edge to peg back middle. Afghanistan on the board early and Omarzai has his arms stretches as he runs in celebration. 22/1

7.6 to J Charles, Naveen strikes and Charles' charmed life ends. Another slower one around off, Charles is yet again early into the shot. Chips it towards cover, where Naib takes a good, low catch diving forward. 102/2

12.1 to SD Hope, Najibullah takes a screamer and Naib strikes with his first ball. Najib made good ground to his right from deep midwicket while running in a bit, dives full length then to grab this slog sweep to end Hope's stay. Naib begins with a legcutter outside off at 100.9kph, which Hope looks to hit with the wind. But it was the longer side and he pays the price. The signature biceps pose from Naib. 135/3
18.3 to R Powell, Skied high, taken safely! Naib's legcutter does the trick. Powell looks to tonk it long but gets a top edge. The substitute Kharoti is settled under it at backward point and makes no mistake. 199/4

0.3 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, scuffs it straight to mid-on! Hosein bowls a fullish ball and Gurbaz comes down the track. But the ball drifts in, dips late, and Gurbaz's aggressive shot only finds the bat's toe-end. Easy catch for Russell at mid-on. 0/1
12.3 to Azmatullah Omarzai, easy catch at cover as Omarzai is out in a soft manner. Full ball on middle, and sliding into leg. Omarzai closes his bat's face to work it towards the leg side, however, that brings about his demise for the night as the ball pops up high in the air in the opposite direction.. 89/6

16.2 to Rashid Khan, game, set, match. West Indies win by 104 runs. Full ball around off, and Rashid tried to helicopter a six down the ground. But he ends up slicing it, and Powell at long off takes a tricky catch. West Indies finish as Group C toppers, while Afghanistan finish second. Not that it matters for the Super Eight, but definitely does for bragging rights and team morale.. 114/10

15.4 to Naveen-ul-Haq, the bouncer does the trick! Joseph digs it in short, and Naveen tries to duck, but doesn't really. He tries to get his glove and bat in front of his face, and the ball kisses the glove before going towards Pooran. Pooran has to put in an acrobatic jump to ensure the grab is secure.. 107/9

6.2 to Gulbadin Naib, goes full on off stump, and Naib gets forward to defend, but the ball snakes past the inside-line of defense, and crashes into his pad. LBW appeal given out but Afghanistan review. The fans have already given their verdict with their fingers raised in the stands, but what does the TV umpire say? No edge, hits the back peg, and clipping the top of leg stump. Umpire's call on nicking the bail, and that's enough for Naib to continue walking back.. 45/2
14.1 to Noor Ahmad, holes out at long on. Full ball around leg and Noor backs away slightly before trying to launch a big shot down the V. He doesn't have the timing to find the distance and Rutherford runs square from wide long on to complete the formalities.. 98/8
301434.66900
7.4 to Ibrahim Zadran, full ball just outside leg stump. Ibrahim flicks it off his feel, but perhaps too languidly. Easy catch for the man lurking at deep backward square leg.. 59/3
7.6 to Najibullah Zadran, Johnson Charles, hello there! Makes acres of space by running in at rapid pace from deep point and smartly dives forward to take a sliding catch. Najibullah chases at this short and wide ball, and goes for the cut. But he can't keep it down. Duck for him and McCoy has two in his first over. 59/4
9.2 to Mohammad Nabi, McCoy making a strong case to be a permanent member of this World Cup XI! Fullish ball on off and middle. Ball jags in this time, instead of angling across the right-hander. Nabi is in no position to play any shot, and his late attempt at a cut is totally futile, chopping the ball onto his own stumps.. 63/5
