9.00pm Fantastic bowling from Afghanistan has kept HK to just 116. The openers gave Hong Kong a great start, and at one stage, it looked like 150 was on. However, the introduction of spin on a slow pitch changed the game completely. Wickets fell regularly and no batsman was able to get going. 'Twas a real struggle to execute the big hits. Will 116 be enough though? We'll find out soon enough.

Nabi: "Wicket was a bit slow. We put good pressure on the opposition. Happy about 100 T20 wickets. Simple batting, and we'll chase it easily"
