The scores in this competition have been getting smaller (? reusing old strips?) so 209 might be more than it looks.

Three down for Afg at the crucial 30 over mark. Still a game on even if Afg are well placed.

This has been a good tournament. IMHO the top six rather than the top two should be advancing to the World cup. The ICC is shrinking world cricket instead of expanding it.

On the positive side, The light-hearted banter between the Afghans and the West Indies is in stark contrast with the confrontations we've been seeing from Australia recently....
