Full commentary
Four sixes and three different balls in that over and Afghanistan have won this easily in the end. Authentic cricket shots from Nabi sealing the deal after their spinners had filleted Maldives earlier. Maldives have definitely improved over the years and made things difficult at times but in the end Afghanistan just had more strength in depth.
Man of the Match? Hard to say, but I'd give it to Nabi for sheer entertainment value on top of his quality bowling and batting.

Mohamed Mahfooz to M Nabi, SIX runs
And that one's on leg stump, and is swung over midwicket. Stays in the ground this time, bouncing off the railings back into the fielder's hands

Mohamed Mahfooz to M Nabi, SIX runs
Walks into that one, pitched on off, and sends it soaring, roaring, scorching onto the roof over long-off. MONSTER

Neesham Nasir to M Nabi, FOUR runs
CHANCE Nabi drives the full-length delivery hard, in the air all the way to mid-on's right-hand, moves to his right, catchable but goes through his hands to the boundary. Costly miss? One thinks so
