SCO 11/0 after 1 over: Scotland are off and running thanks to two reverse hits by Munsey off Nabi in the first over. The first was a four... all along the ground and the second was a top edge that went for six!

AFG 190/3 after 20 overs: WICKET! At the end of their 20 overs, Afghanistan have reached 190/4. Scotland missed their lengths all too often and they sure were punished. Najib was dismissed off the last ball but by then, the damage was done. Najibullah c Wheal b Safyaan Sharif 59(34)

AFG 169/3 after 18.3 overs: WICKET! Gurbaz falls after making 46. A fine innings that has helped Afghanistan take control of the match. Najib is the dangerman though. Gurbaz c Coetzer b Davey 46(37)

AFG 79/1 after 9 overs: Zazai has moved on to 42 off just 27 balls and he is playing smart cricket too. Not going for the big shots towards the longer side. Rather, he is waiting and picking his spots.

AFG 67/1 after 8 overs: When Zazai gets his timing right, the sound of the ball hitting the bat is incredibly sweet. Another six for the left-hander and another big hit.

AFG 57/1 after 7 overs: Gurbaz has joined Zazai in the middle but the Powerplay overs are over too. This will allow the Scots to cover more areas now.

AFG 54/1 after 5.5 overs: WICKET! Sharif gets Scotland the breakthrough. Shahzad doesn’t get the distance he was looking for and holes out in the deep. A fine short innings that has got the Afghans got off to a fine start. Mohammad Shahzad c Leask b Safyaan Sharif 22(15)

AFG 46/0 after 5 overs: Wheal got hammered. 16 runs off the over and Afghanistan are flying. Shahzad and Zazai playing with a lot of confidence.

AFG 30/0 after 4 overs: Steady over by Davey. But Afghanistan manage to get right runs off the over.

AFG 20/0 after 2 overs: Big over for Afghanistan as Shahzad and Zazai both hit a six off Leask.

AFG 2/0 after 1 over: Nice over by Wheal to start the innings. On target and some swing on offer too.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the match between Afghanistan and Scotland at Sharjah. The Afghan team will fancy its chances in this one but Scotland will also believe that they have a chance. But the conditions might have a big role to play in this one. Shot-making has not been easy and spinners have generally ruled the roost at the venue and that should give Afghanistan with its experienced spinners an edge. In the first match in Group 2 yesterday, Pakistan had defeated India by 10 wickets.
