SCO VS AFG - 2nd ODI, Afghanistan tour of Scotland, 2019

18:59 Local Time, 17:59 GMT, 23:29 IST: And we have news. Good for Afghanistan not so much for the Scottish fans. The rains have had the last laugh and the match won't resume. The DL par score after 44.5 overs was 267 and Afghanistan were ahead. Thus, they win and take the 2-match series 1-0. That is it from this game. We will come back with more cricketing action.

18:52 Local Time, 17:52 GMT, 23:22 IST: Cricket Scotland have tweeted again and they say that the game has to be completed by 19:30 Local time. So we have close to 40 minutes of waiting to go.

18:30 Local Time, 17:30 GMT, 23:00 IST: Before the rain gods intervened, Afghanistan had made progress, although lucky at times, to ensure the required rate never reached out of bound proportions.

18:26 Local Time, 17:26 GMT, 22:56 IST: 57 off 31 balls, 7 wickets in hand and the players went off. Disappointing! Cricket Scotland have tweeted that Afghanistan are 2 runs ahead as per DLS. The scenes are pretty gloomy as most of the ground is being covered up. Lot of rain it seems. Our wait will continue. They are bringing in every possible sheet to cover the ground. And the rains are gushing down with full glory.

And they are going off! Can you believe it? The DL score would be pretty close for Afghanistan. We will get it confirmed whether they have enough or not. This will be such a pity if we don't restart. Most likely Afghanistan are ahead as per DLS.
