Gullycricketer: "I presume that is a tarot card predicting the outcome of NZ vs AFG."

Sanjeev: "Shami made his international debut in 2012. In close to 9 years, hard to believe he is just 15 matches old in T20Is!"

Venkatesh: "Sad to see Varun not among wicket takers. If India does not play him against Namibia, he will end the tournament with zero wickets."

Farhan: "its Akmal and any bowler who manages to get an edge..."

Atiqullah Atif: "@Vethoughts, Keep faith in Afghanistan!!"

7.24pm With that wicket, Bumrah becomes India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is. He's gone past Chahal's 63. India need 86 to win and you best bet they'll be trying to do this in quick time. I see someone running Hardik through a card. Presumably, that card has NRR values for different overs. Our stats man Rajesh says India need to chase in 8.5 overs to go past NZ's net run rate, and in 7.1 overs to go past Afghanistan's.

Bumrah to Watt, OUT, tonks leg stump on the half-volley. Watt jumps into the off side, a long long way, in an attempt to try and scoop this over short fine. This is full and fast and too much for him

MRJ Watt b Bumrah 14 (21m 13b 2x4 0x6) SR: 107.69

Bumrah to Wheal, 1 run, full and into middle and leg, looks to flick, gets a thick inside edge onto pad

Bumrah to Wheal, no run, good length and angled into the corridor, hangs leg side of that and tries to slash behind square on the off side. Beaten

vethoughts: "All this for naught if NZ beats AFG, am I right?! " ---- Yes

Saad: "Krishna you have no idea. Shoaib and Akmal..."

PoetOfTheWest: "@Krishna Akmal-Kaneria would top that category" --- I'm starting to see a trend here

Mohammed Shami to Watt, 1 run, full and just outside off, clears the front leg and drives through cover

David Bird: "I'll ask again - where is Josh Davey?He's a handy bat too. I don't understand his omission." --- He's out with a groin injury, was replaced by Michael Jones

Mohammed Shami to Evans, OUT, hits leg stump! What an absolute peach this is. The perfect yorker, landing on the crease at a leg stump line, and through Evan before he can get the bat down at it

AC Evans b Mohammed Shami 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
