Afghanistan Crushed Scotland To Gain A Glorious Victory

Afghanistan crushed Scotland to gain a glorious victory. The Afghan bowlers showed no mercy while they knocked down all 10 wickets in a mere 10.2 overs. Scotland accepted defeat with just 60 runs in 10.2 overs after they lost all wickets.

Afghanistan opted to bat first after winning the toss to set up a score of 190-4 from 20 overs. The major scorers for Afghanistan were Najibullah(59), Gurbaz(46) and Hazratullah Zazai(44). Along with them, Mohammed Shahzad(22) and Nabi(11 not out) also contributed to the total score.

The Scotland bowlers were not able to harness the Afghan batsmen before they built up the total score.

The Afghan bowlers however, were very much successful in anchoring the Scotland batsmen and building pressure by taking wickets constantly. 

A short while after Scotland started batting, Afghanistan was able to build pressure and turn the game in their favour. The Scotland batsmen struggled under the Afghan bowlers, mainly Mujeeb Ur Rahman who took 5 wickets, earning the player of the match title. Along with that, Rashid Khan had 4 wickets to his name and Naveen-ul-Haq took the remaining one wicket.  

It was spectacular gameplay from Afghanistan and a well earned victory for them. Scotland was not in great form, 25 being their highest individual score. 5 of the Scotland batsmen did not manage to get any runs either. The Scotland team was all out for 60 runs within 10.2 overs.

Afghanistan bowlers did a commendable job restricting runs and getting wickets. It could be said that the Scotland team were not so fortunate. 

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match was dominated by Afghanistan rather than Scotland. Afghanistan did a great job at keeping the game in their hands and building pressure for the Scotland fans and the team. Afghanistan crushed Scotland to gain a glorious victory.
