Pathum Nissanka was sent by Naveen-ul-Haq at 3 runs while Fazalhaq Farooqi went on to attempt a hattrick event but unfortunately couldn’t conclude with 3 wickets. However, the two back-to-back wickets taken by the pacer have benefited team Afghanistan as he sent Asalanka, and Kusal Mendis, back to the pavilion.

Afghanistan scored 41 runs in the power play as the duo Rajapaksha and Gunathilaka manage to come back in the game as they smashed 20 runs in the 6th over.
