- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR16.1 Straight to deep cover! Tossed up full and wide, Gurbaz went inside out. He gets the height, but not the distance. Gurbaz looks frustrated. That is an odd innings, the value of which may only be truly apparent once both teams have batted! 88/310.4 The pressure tells! Tossed up full around off and Ibrahim looks to go down the ground. He ends up slicing it wide of long-off and Tanzim does well to get under it moving to his left. 59/115.5 Toe-ended to the keeper! Mustafizur goes short and across Omarzai who looks to cut. The keeper and bowler go up in appeal but the umpire is unmoved. They review immediately and there's a spike as the ball passes the bat. The Fizz strikes! 84/216.4 That's a brilliant catch running in from deep cover! Full outside off, it's another leg break. Naib was looking to go big over the leg side but gets a thick leading edge. The ball balloons up square on the off side. It looked like it would land sadly, but Soumya is having none of it. He sprints in from the boundary rope and snatches it just when it looked like a chance would go begging 89/417.4 And Taskin reaps the rewards! Another short ball outside off, Nabi again looks to cut but loses shape and gets a top edge. The ball goes high in the air and mid-off runs in, settles under it and makes no mistake. The experienced Nabi is gone 93/5Extras13 (b 5, w 8)TOTAL115/5 (20 Overs, RR: 5.75)Fall of wickets: 1-59 (Ibrahim Zadran, 10.4 ov), 2-84 (Azmatullah Omarzai, 15.5 ov), 3-88 (Rahmanullah Gurbaz, 16.1 ov), 4-89 (Gulbadin Naib, 16.4 ov), 5-93 (Mohammad Nabi, 17.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Sharp inswinger convinces the umpire! This was a good length and it tailed in late towards the left-hander, who looked to swing this away over mid-on. He's struck on the back thigh guard in front of off. Only question is height here, I think. But it's a great decision, crashing into the top of middle. 16/12.4 This time finds the man in the deep! Nabi had just been stationed at deep midwicket after that earlier boundary, but Shanto decides to take him on aerially with a similar leg side swing. He can't find the connection though and it's a simple catch 23/22.5 Two in two and Shakib is out for a golden duck! This was quick on middle and leg, but it straightened just enough to induce the leading edge as Shakib looks to work this onside. It pops straight back to Naveen who bobbles the chance but holds on in the end 23/36.3 Rashid with a lovely skidder! This one is quick and flat and just picks up steam after it pitches. Soumya goes back but is slow on the stroke, as this crashes into middle stump 48/48.2 Rashid has another! The dangerous Towhid is gone, as he finds the man at deep midwicket with this slog sweep. He's gone with the wind, but the connection just isn't good enough 64/510.5 Flights a full delivery that spins in sharply and stays under the bat as Mahmudullah swings. Rashid thinks there was an inside edge. Afghanistan review. And there's a small spike as the ball goes past bat! Rashid has a third! How big a moment has this been? Also, how big a performance is this from Rashid Khan today, playing probably the most important match of his career! 80/610.6 TIMBERRRRR! Rashid Khan knocks Rishad over with a wrong'un! Leggie gets leggie. Rishad went for a big swing and finds air and Rashid is on target. What a massive spell this is from Rashid Khan! Afghanistan are three away! 80/714.2 Naib takes Afghanistan closer! Banged in short, Tanzim goes for the pull but gets a thick top edge. Mohammad Nabi takes it easily at cover and Afghanistan inch towards that semi-final spot 92/817.4 Naveen gets him! Taskin chops on! Prods at a full slower ball outside off and gets an inside edge! And that takes the DLS par score to 108! And the rain is coming down again! 105/917.5 He traps him and UP GOES THE FINGER! Afghanistan players race off in celebration, but Bangladesh have reviewed. It looked plumb. Was there an inside edge though? Nope, and that's red on all three! Length ball angles in from outside off and raps him right in front of middle. Afghanistan are through to the semis! 105/10Extras11 (b 1, lb 7, w 3)TOTAL105 all out (17.5 Overs, RR: 5.88)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Tanzid Hasan, 1.3 ov), 2-23 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 2.4 ov), 3-23 (Shakib Al Hasan, 2.5 ov), 4-48 (Soumya Sarkar, 6.3 ov), 5-64 (Towhid Hridoy, 8.2 ov), 6-80 (Mahmudullah, 10.5 ov), 7-80 (Rishad Hossain, 10.6 ov), 8-92 (Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 14.2 ov), 9-105 (Taskin Ahmed, 17.4 ov), 10-105 (Mustafizur Rahman, 17.5 ov)
