4.2 to BKG Mendis, does him all ends up! Another change-up, this time on a length outside off. Mendis does not quite pick it and is extraordinarily early into the stroke. Hangs out his bat and spoons it straight to Noor at backward point. Might have held in the surface too, and Afghanistan have two wickets in quick succession!. 49/2
4040210.0092300
3.5 to P Nissanka, huge appeal, and the finger goes up! Much fuller on middle and off. Nissanka, trying to work to leg, falls across and fails to make contact. Gers pinned right in front and Nissanka, after a brief chat with Mendis, decides to not bother with the review. Massive wicket for Afghanistan!. 45/1
14.2 to KIC Asalanka, Asalanka falls! Change-up on a length outside off. Asalanka tries to go inside out but does not pick the variation. He has to reach out and loses control of the stroke in the process. Slices it ultimately and Naveen, stationed at deep cover point, holds on!. 121/5
4046111.5088100
19.6 to S Samarawickrama, a hit wicket to end the innings! Slower delivery dug into the track outside off. Grips in the surface and comes off much slower than Samarawickrama expects. He swings wildly and misses. Knocks over the bails as well in the process, and Afghanistan finish their bowling innings with two dots!. 187/6
2020010.0022000
402526.2581110
9.5 to DM de Silva, goes straight up, and caught by the Afghanistan skipper at long on! Hung up on a length outside off and de Silva cannot resist the temptation to have a pop at it. Steps out but is too far away from the ball. Swings at it anyway and clinks it off the toe-end. Ibrahim settles himself and does the rest!. 86/3
11.4 to PW Hasaranga, gone this time! Nabi has the big fish! Hard length and the ball seems to bounce a smidgen more than Hasaranga expects. He tries to muscle it over long on nonetheless but cannot get enough behind it. Ibrahim Zadran uses his height to perfection and takes the overhead catch cleanly, while also maintaining the requisite distance from the boundary cushion!. 110/4

0.5 to Hazratullah Zazai, edged and taken! Mathews' sensational evening continues! Back of a length delivery slanted across the batter outside off. Zazai goes feeling for it without any footwork and feathers it through to the keeper. No conviction in the stroke, and Zazai has to walk back!. 6/1
2.2 to Ibrahim Zadran, straight to mid off! Mathews has two! Change-up on a length outside off. Ibrahim's eyes light up and he thinks he can smash this. Does not go over mid off, though, and he does not keep it down either. Arrows it towards Theekshana, who stoops down low and completes the catch!. 19/2
201829.0053010
4.1 to Gulbadin Naib, Afghanistan lose their fourth inside the powerplay! Beautifully-disguised slower ball on a length outside off. Naib looks at the length and thinks he can cash in. He has no clue about the variation, though, and plays too early. Lobs it up to Hasaranga at mid on, who back-pedals and snaffles up a smart overhead chance!. 30/4
4.3 to Azmatullah Omarzai, Binura has two in the over, and Afghanistan are all over the place! Fullish delivery that starts just outside off before coming in a smidgen. Omarzai looks for the expansive drive on the up but his feet are stuck to the turf. Gets a bit of an inside edge, although that does not stop the ball from crashing into off stump!. 31/5
403017.50112120
3.6 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Theekshana has the last laugh! Fired in full on middle and off. Gurbaz, down on one knee, swipes across the line and misses it completely. Gets pinned in front of middle and off, and the umpire raises his finger. Gurbaz, though, reviews quickly. Was there bat involved? If there wasn't, this could be a futile review. Clear gap between bat and ball. Ball Tracking coming up now...and it shows the ball hitting the middle of middle stump. A pretty ordinary review, it must be said, and Afghanistan are three down!. 30/3
401924.75130100
13.2 to Najibullah Zadran, hot knife through butter! Slows it up beautifully on a length outside off. Najib does not get to the pitch of the ball and swings wildly. The ball goes through the gap between bat and ball and strikes the stumps. Hasaranga is elated and why shouldn't he be. He is now the second fastest to 100 T20I wickets in history, only behind Rashid Khan!. 100/7
13.4 to Karim Janat, Janat falls too! Marginally short outside off. Janat waits back and thinks he can carve it past extra cover. Fails to keep his stroke down, though, and hits it uppishly in Shanaka's general direction. The former Sri Lanka skipper lunges forward and snares it, inches off the turf! What a catch, and Hasaranga has T20I wicket No. 101!. 101/8
302227.3392050
16.3 to Naveen-ul-Haq, no need for a review this time! Searing yorker that tails into leg stump very late. Naveen, more in hope than anything else, dangles his bat, only to see the ball whistle past the inside edge. Hears the death rattle soon after, and Sri Lanka are one wicket away from a convincing win!. 111/9
16.6 to Fazalhaq Farooqi, that will be that! Sri Lanka win by 72 runs and take an unassailable lead in this T20I series! Length delivery outside off. Farooqi, with his feet stuck to concrete, wafts at it. Does not get it anywhere near the middle and chips it to Shanaka at extra cover, who times his jump to perfection and makes no mistake!. 115/10
201718.5051110
9.2 to Mohammad Nabi, Shanaka breaks through! Length outside off and Nabi, looking at the width, cannot resist the urge to have a pop at it. The feet go nowhere, though, and all he manages is a healthy outside edge that Mendis gobbles up sharply to his right!. 70/6
