Karim Janat stars in big win for Afghanistan

Resistance came through Malakai Cokovaki, who took charge and put away four fours and a six, with Tikoisuva dead batting at the other end. The two associated for a ball short of ten overs, putting on a fine 50 for the sixth wicket; the stand was ended when Rashid was introduced and he had Tikoisuva dismissed for a 38-ball 18.

In the next over, Cokovaki was deceived by Zakir Khan, the chinaman bowler, the batsman falling for a 28-ball 25. Josaia Baleicikoibia then hung around to add 29 in 40 balls, but for all their effort, Rashid ran through the tail to end the innings.
