Wicket apiece for Reuben Wilson, Tom Ford and Olly Riley as Afghanistan build a decent platform on 149 for 3 at the 30-over mark. The fourth wicket stand passes 100 and at the 40 overs mark Afghanistan are on 209 for 3 with Faisal Khan unbeaten on 118. The last ten overs could get messy. Indeed they did with a further 106 added in a final total of 315 for 7. Fourth wicket stand was worth 188 with Faisal Khan making a superb 142-ball 163 (18 fours, 1 six) while skipper Mahboob Khan made 89. A flurry of wickets in the last few overs meant little as runs haemoraged, Reuben Wilson and Olly Riley finishing with three apiece. Tough chase in prospect for Ireland, quickly becomes No prospect of a chase from Ireland as Ogilby, Leckey and West depart inside the first Powerplay. Marco Bates, with just a single off fifteen deliveries pushes into the covers and sets off, and O'Brien pays the price for the speculative run. A missed sweep sees Dijkstra lbw to Arab. Ireland in survival mode slipping further and further behind, just taking what's on offer, 83-5 the score at the halfway stage. Wilson gives Aqil the charge but only slices gently to point before Riley goes third ball for a single caught and bowled, two in the over. Ireland totally becalmed, just 6 runs in the next 7 overs, going down with a whimper. Bates' vigil ends on 34 off 77 pulling seamer Omarzai to mid on, his partnership of 55 off 77 with Reuben Wilson for the sixth wicket the high point of an otherwise disappointing team effort on the day and throughout the Tournament that ends with just that single Group win over Japan.

Tournament top scorer Ben Mayes leading the way again for England as the spinning pitch in Bulawayo put a brake on their normal free scoring style. New Zealand battling back after losing early wickets, Manny Lumsden with a pair. England glad to see the back of Snehith Reddy caught by Alphie Albert off Alex Green. Reddy was looking composed and looked like taking New Zealand into a good position. Manny Lumsden returns and mops up the tail, three wickets in an over that sees him complete a five-for. England unbeaten destined for the semi-finals, whether as group winners or runner-up is yet to be decided when India face Pakistan on Sunday.

Two wickets with big googlies from Vigneshwaran Akash after an opening partnership of 96 for Sourth Africa. Jason Rowles comes down the pitch but holes out at long-on to give Chamika Heentigala his first wicket. A magnificent century from Jorich van Schalkwyk the highlight of what South Africa hope will be a winning score. Akash finishes with four wickets no one reading his mixture of legspin and googlies. Sri Lanka going full stem ahead in the chase, almost half way there in just twenty overs for the loss of only one wicket. Wekunagada chops on to end a partnership worth 143. Just a glimmer of hope for South Africa as Corne Botha finds the inside edge of Chamunditha's bat and a flying Phahlamohlaka holds a juggling catch. That will slow things up a bit, but Sri Lanka are well ahead of the asking rate. South Africa nibble another wicket, anothr diving catch behind and a second wicket for Michael Kruiskamp. Sri Lanka cruising to the win with just 30 runs required off the final 10 overs and end it with four overs to spare. South Africa finish a disappointing campaign with just the single win over Tanzania in the Group stage. Sri Lanka move into second place in the table but a win for Afghanistan over Ireland will see them into the semi-finals on NRR.

Aussie skipper Ollie Peake who plays for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash, run out off the last ball of the innings for 109, but the 300+ total should be more than enough for the win. West Indies have other plans and the top order all getting in and keeping the rate manageable but so far only Zachary Carter has passed 50. It will take someone to push things along in the final twenty overs if the Windies are come close. Two hundred comes up but the last 50 runs have been the slowest of the innings with the required rate now up to 8s. Dorne and Tilokani looking for 83 off the last ten overs and Tilokani edges an expansive drive to the keeper. Four dots from Schiller draws a pull from Dorne only for him to chop on - a wicket maiden, priceless. Twenty-nine required off the final two overs - Windies going down swinging. Two wickets in two balls for left-arm spinner Aryan Sharma leaves 26 off 6 required. Three singles and a wicket for Lachmund sees Australia 22 run winners. That slow middle phase of the game put the Windies behind the clock and the latter batsmen perished trying to make up for lost time.
