2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 13 England v Afghanistan 15/10 1900hrs @ Arun Jaitley Stadium

[NYRB]

Nabi in at 7, there is a reason why the Melbourne Renegades let go of him. Afghanistan probably battling now to bat the full 50 overs one senses.

 

[NYRB]

Mujeeb batting at 9 tells you probably all you need to know.

 

[NYRB]

Nabi goes at 7 with a soft shot, and Rashid Khan has to look to bat a bit of time now.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Nabi reminds me of Sloane at the Crows who just doesn't know when his time is up despite performances suggesting otherwise.

 

[Plugger35]

A nice start from Rashid Khan with a boundary.

They could do with a good knock from him here.

 

[NYRB]

Mark Wood bowling close to 150 km/hr here.

 

[Cleavy]

Wood causing some problems with his extra pace.

wouldn't be the first time that Wood caused a guy problems

 

[Moonwatcher]

wouldn't be the first time that Wood caused a guy problems

eyy this guy

 

[NYRB]

whats the penalty for running down the wicket, if you keep running down the wicket? Afghanistan have done it repeatedly tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Good 3rd over from Sam Curran just the 2 off.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Mujeeb getting into it.

250 up..

 

[corbies]

Whatever the opposite of a captains knock is Hashmatullah played it today. Absolutely butchered Gurbaz when he was flying and then played one of the worst 35 ball innings you will ever see in an ODI.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Seven for two seven two

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good innings from Mujeeb

EDIT: Great innings from Ikram

 

[Moonwatcher]

If they can bat out the last few overs the Afghans should get close to 300.

Alas might not make it

 

[Moonwatcher]

49.5 almost

 

[Moonwatcher]

England will have a job to do to win this.

 

[Torz]

That bloke always has a shocking strike rate.

 

[largebus]

Probably 75/25 England, if Afghanistan don't get wickets early it's over.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Afghans have some match winners in their bowling attck, like others have said early wickets and they could be in with a real sniff

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hard to see Australia beating Afghanistan

 

[Moonwatcher]

Must have hit it to review

 

[Moonwatcher]

or maybe just going down leg

 

[Moonwatcher]

2 umpire's call is harsh

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Haha... * off Bairstow
