New Zealand Vs Afghanistan Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, Match 14 - Full Scorecard

Trent Boult to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! CASTLED! Cracking yorker and it had to take something special to get rid of Gurbaz. End of a special knock from the Afghan opener. Trent Boult executes the yorker an the base of the off stump, Rahmanullah Gurbaz plays inside the line of the ball and pays the price as the ball zips through to crash into the off stump.

Matt Henry to Ibrahim Zadran, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Finally, somethings goes New Zealand's way! Matt Henry keeps it short and it climbs off the deck, this is outside off. Ibrahim Zadran tries to upper-cut but bottom edges and it deflects back onto the stumps. Can New Zealand build on this ?

Matt Henry to Azmatullah Omarzai, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Matt Henry has the last laugh but it was a useful hand from Omarzai. Rolls his fingers over the ball and lands it full, on middle, Azmatullah Omarzai moves leg side and shapes up to go big on the off side. He does not have any pace to work with and ends up slicing it in the air towards deep cover where Lockie Ferguson takes it.

Lockie Ferguson to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! TAKEN! Golden duck for Mohammad Nabi and finally, Lockie Ferguson gets the reward. Ferguson misses his mark again as he dishes out a full toss, on off, Mohammad Nabi was better off playing this one straight but closes the bat face to work it across the line. Gets a leading edge that lobs tamely towards mid off where Kane Williamson does the rest. A soft dismissal.

Trent Boult to Rashid Khan, OUT! RUN OUT! Rahmanullah Gurbaz needs the strike and Rashid Khan has to sacrifice! Digs it out on a fullish length, angling away, on off, Rashid Khan jams his bat down but fials to dig it out. Rahmanullah Gurbaz sets off but Rashid is late to react. Devon Conway releases the throw back to Boult who does the rest by taking the bails off at the bowling end.

Trent Boult to Gulbadin Naib, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! It has been all New Zealand in this last over! Second wicket of the night for Boult! Takes pace off and bangs it into the deck, over middle, Gulbadin Naib takes the short ball on but fails to get the power and distance to clear the man in the deep. Holes out to Glenn Phillips at deep mid-wicket who takes an easy catch.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Finn Allen, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! What a start for Fazalhaq Farooqi and Afghanistan! Farooqi picking up from where he left off in the game against Uganda. A golden duck for Finn Allen. Charges in from over the wicket and goes full, attacking the stumps. Gets the ball to tail back in sharply, Finn Allen clears his front leg and has an ugly hoick across the line. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and shatters the woodwork.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Devon Conway, OUT! TAKEN! A soft dismissal and Fazalhaq Farooqi has now sent both Kiwi openers back in the hut in his opening spell. New Zealand up against it early on. Farooqi bowls it on a good length, on off, Devon Conway gets a stride in as he looks to push it through the off side. The ball stops in the surface, resulting in Conway going through the shot early. Plays it well in front of his body and chips it straight to Ibrahim Zadran at cover.

Rashid Khan to Kane Williamson, OUT! TAKEN! One skipper gets another one! Rashid Khan, the magician has arrived with a bang! Flatter, slower and around off, Williamson goes back and tries to dab it away but knowing there is a slip, that was a risky shot, still goes for it but edges it straight to Gulbadin Naib who makes no mistake. Hard one for Naib as he takes it to his left.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Daryl Mitchell, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Fazalhaq Farooqi gets the third over in his opening spell and he makes it count! New Zealand in all sorts of trouble. Farooqi angles it in from around the wicket and this is on a hard length, over middle, Daryl Mitchell hangs on the back foot to defend it with a straight bat. The ball nips away off the deck and catches the outside edge. Rahmanullah Gurbaz behind the wicket makes no mistake and sends Mitchell packing.

Mohammad Nabi to Glenn Phillips, OUT! TAKEN! This is the wicket Afghanistan needed! They have one foot over the line. Two points closer are the Afghan boys! Too full and on middle, Glenn Phillips looks to go downtown but toe ends his shot to long on where Rashid Khan judges it well near the ropes at long on. 

Rashid Khan to Mark Chapman, OUT! BOWLED! The middle stump is uprooted! A scramled seam, leg-breaker bowled on the shorter side and on middle, just skids through and Chapman rocks back to pull but misses as the ball stays low. It goes past the blade and crashes the stumps. Two in two for Rashid Khan.

Rashid Khan to Michael Bracewell, OUT! LBW! Rashid Khan is on a hat-trick! Michael Bracewell looked bamboozled here. He has taken it upstairs though! No bat involved clearly. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS! It is all Afghanistan at the moment! Flatter delivery, around off, again it skids through the surface. Michael Bracewell was clearly not ready here, he goes back to flick but misses and gets wrapped on the pads. Takes the review but more in hope.

Mohammad Nabi to Mitchell Santner, OUT! STRAIGHT THROUGH THE GATE! Mohammad Nabi has his second and the Kiwis slip further. Gets the ball to come back in with the angle from around the wicket, on a length, on middle, Mitchell Santner gets half-forward and plays for the turn as he looks to push it to the right of the bowler. It is the arm-ball from Nabi and it slides on to brush the front pad before going on to crash into the stumps.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Matt Henry, OUT! TAKEN! Fazalhaq Farooqi ends with a four-fer. Short of a length and on top of off. Henry looks to pull but top edges it to deep backward square leg. Karim Janat runs in and holds onto it. Afghanistan win by 84 runs and close to 5 overs to spare. Huge boost to their net run-rate.

Rashid Khan to Lockie Ferguson, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! As easy as you like! Rashid Khan strikes on the final ball off his spell and Afghanistan are one just a wicket away from a famous win. Rashid gives the ball air and bowls it on a nagging length, on off, Lockie Ferguson prods forward to smother the spin but it comes off the upper half of the bat and it lobs tamely back towards the bowler. Rashid Khan runs a few steps forward and takes the simplest of catches.
