Match Centre

What a wonderful game today we had, despite the rain delays. Afghanistan A finish as victors, but there's a lot of cricket left in this tri-nation one-dayer series. See you again soon for more action.

Imran, Afghanistan A captain and Player of the Match (winning side): "It was our first match, and we played natural cricket. Believed in myself and the team for the run chase."

Tilak, India A captain (losing side): "We batted well. But unfortunately, the way DLS works...Afghanistan A batted well but at the same time we thought chasing 294 in 38 overs was going to be tough. Bowling isn't a concern, but we'll go back to the drawing board. Our goal is to win the next couple of games and make the final."

6.05pm Afghanistan A win by 4 runs (by DLS method) and that's a massive victory for them over a star-studded India A.

haroon: "if Afghans win this.. it's a huge win!! "

Ranesh: "Tilak and Ruthraj innings will be criticized. India must have been out of sight with the bat."

5.25pm The covers are coming on because it is drizzling, and Afghanistan A are three runs ahead of the DLS par as it stands. India A are walking out, looking disappointed, but officially the game is still not over. However, if there's no more play possible, then that run-out shout at 25.5, where the TV umpire felt Imran was in in a decision that needed checking "frame by frame" for evidence, turned out to be as important a moment as all the other brilliant spells of cricket we saw today - earlier from Prabhsimran, Tilak, Gaikwad, Sooryavanshi and Shedge. And later from Imran and Bahir. Will their 108-run unbeaten partnership be the difference maker between the two sides today? Sure looks so with time in the day also running out.

25.5
0
Nigam to Imran, no run, full on off. Tapped to the off side and they think of taking a single. Imran begins running but is sent back. Meanwhile a throw comes in from point to the keeper, and he whips the bails off in one straight followthrough. This will be close and could tilt the DLS equations India's way with light fading. The TV umpire sees it "frame by frame"... and he decides that the batter is safe! India A fielders aren't very pleased and it's drizzling now too!
