OUT! Run Out. Naveen-ul-Haq to John Kariko. Length ball, down leg side backing away Slog, missed, direct hit by Gurbaz. Afghanistan have restricted the opponent to below par score. PNG batters struggled to read the variations from the bowlers right from the start, and they lost their top five batters within the powerplay, putting them on the back foot. The only positive note is that PNG have almost completed their full quota of overs. Will Afghanistan's batters be able to do their job and reach the top of the table? Join us shortly for the chase.
