0.6
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, no run, flat delivery outside off, jammed out
0.5
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, SIX, big, in the slot and comes down the track to get close to the pitch. Chandimal flicks the stroke with a lot of ease and it clears the midwicket boundary by a few rows
0.4
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, FOUR, good shot. Picked his spot well, got down low and uppishly swept over square leg. Safe stroke
0.3
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, no run, flat on middle and leg, worked to square leg
0.2
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, no run, big appeal, but that pitched well outside leg. Skids onto Chandimal's inside edge
0.1
Karim Sadiq to Chandimal, no run, flat on middle and leg to start, defended back. Not much turn
 

Out come the umpires. Inzi has a chat with his charges in a huddle. Dilshan and Chandimal walk out. Spin to start - Karim Sadiq

Gnaneshwar: "I think the calm yet charismatic presence of Inzy made a world of good to Afghan team. This Afghan team is here to stay!! Mark my words.."

Jmani: "Dilshan, Chandimal, Mathews & Co. My gut feeling is SL shld chase this down"

Mark: "If Sri Lanka make a poor start, this could be a testing chase. If it is 60-1 after the Power Play, it could finish quickly. The first overs will be interesting."
