AFG VS NED - 2nd ODI, Afghanistan v Netherlands in Qatar, 2022

17:19 Local Time, 14:19 GMT, 19:49 IST: Afghanistan always knew that they will make life difficult for the chasing unit and that is exactly what they have done. They stifled the chase and did it with elan. There were plenty of near misses and near edges but Afghanistan continued to be disciplined. Edwards and de Leede did show some resistance but that was never enough as they fell behind with the run rate. The task kept getting stiffer and towards the end, Netherlands had left themselves too much to achieve. With this win, Afghanistan grab vital 10 points and a series win. That is it from this game. Switch tabs and enjoy some more cricketing action.

Mujeeb to Kingma, out Bowled!! And that is it. Afghanistan grab 10 points and take a 2-0 lead. They win by 48 runs. Was a well tossed up delivery and Kingma missed the slog sweep for his wood work to be disturbed. That wasn't a great delivery but the ugly swipe didn't help. Kingma b Mujeeb 0(2)

Mujeeb to Kingma, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Mujeeb to Kingma, no run, goes for the slog and misses. That was pretty close to the sticks indeed

Vivian Kingma, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Mujeeb to Fred Klaassen, out Caught by Gulbadin!! Falling like a pack of cards now. Looks for a slog across the line, gets an outside edge and the man at short third takes it by running a few steps back. The ninth wicket has gone down. That was a quicker one and Fred Klaassen wanted to flog that across the line. Fred Klaassen c Gulbadin b Mujeeb 0(1)

Mujeeb to Fred Klaassen, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Mujeeb to Philippe Boissevain, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Comes back and strikes. Went for the slog sweep and got an edge for the keeper to do the rest. The end is pretty near. Philippe Boissevain c Gurbaz b Mujeeb 1(2)

Fareed Ahmad to Ryan Klein, out Saqib Zulfiqar Run Out!! 1 run completed. The communication break down had to happen. That was flogged across the line and they called for a double. Saqib Zulfiqar had to pay the price and was miles short as he was sent back late by his partner. The keeper had a lot of time on his hands and he took that to whip the bails off. Saqib Zulfiqar run out (Rahmat/Gurbaz) 12(20) [4s-1]

Fareed Ahmad to Ryan Klein, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Fareed Ahmad to Ryan Klein, 2 runs, pushes that away into the off-side and they get an overthrow after a direct hit at the batter's end had the ball ricocheting away. The batter had made it and the ricochet allowed them to get the second

Fareed Ahmad to Ryan Klein, 2 runs, swings across the line and they get a brace. Two more added to the tally

Fareed Ahmad to Saqib Zulfiqar, 1 run, had there been a direct hit at the bowler's end, Saqib Zulfiqar was a goner as he was running to the bowler's end. He stood tall and drove it on the up to find the man at extra cover

Fareed Ahmad to Saqib Zulfiqar, 2 runs, gets that away past cover and they get a brace. Two more added to the tally as the man at deep cover was slow to start off the blocks. 57 needed off 23 balls
