    Afghanistan have been very impressive today and a Najibullah Zadran four is enough to seal the win with two overs to spare.

    It means on Saturday, Afghanistan meet Zimbabwe in a winner-takes-all game to see who qualifies from Group B, while Scotland and Hong Kong battle for the wooden spoon.

  10. 6 runs

    Mohammad Shahzad smashes a sixpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2016

    What a huge hit that is. It's high and long, 88 metres in fact and goes for six. The crowd are loving it.

  11. Mohammad Shahzad hits it for fourpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2016

    The gap is found again and it goes for four. Shahzad’s 61 secured him man of the match in the last game against Scotland and he looks to be continuing his fine form.

    Ball bowled outside off stump and it's a free hit for Noor Ali Zadran who strikes it cleanly for the second four of the innings. Early boundary in the over for Afghanistan.

  13. Noor Ali Zadran with well-timed fourpublished at 15:57 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2016

    Afghanistan are under way in their run chase and it's a great start from Noor Ali Zadran who hits a four past mid-on. Perfectly timed.

    Mohammad Nabi finishes with an excellent 4-20 from his four overs.

    Mohammad Nabi at it again. Kinchit Shah goes for the switch but it's poorly timed and goes high. Nabi then covers the ground and catches comfortably. Shah gone for 11.

  16. Four for Anshuman Rathpublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2016

    Hong Kong's batsmen have hit some lovely shots in this game and here's another. Anshuman Rath powerfully drills for four.

    HK 61-4 (9.5 overs)

    A perfect yorker from Gulbadin Naib and danger man Mark Chapman is gone. The speed has done him quite simply. Big trouble now for Hong Kong.
