At the end of day one, both Zimbabwe and Afghanistan are level on points and net run-rate and it looks as though it will be between those two for the top spot in Group B. Join us again tomorrow for arguably the marquee clash of the qualifiers as Bangladesh take on Netherlands in the first game.
After a brilliant start, Scotland looked set for a record-breaking first victory in World Cups and over Afghanistan but after they lost their two openers in quick succession, their charge faded. The fact that they didn't score a boundary for almost 9 overs hurt their chances even though they kept rotating the strike.
19.6 Zadran to Cross, 1 run, gets a single to mid-wicket off the last ball and Scotland lose by 14 runs. It is now six T20I matches and Scotland haven't beaten Afghanistan yet.
19.2 Zadran to Mommsen, 2 runs, excellent fielding from third man ensures that isn't a boundary. Excellent dab from Mommsen, picking the slower ball and steering it to third man.
17.6 Zadran to Machan, 2 runs, flicked to deep mid-wicket and there was never two there but the pair push for two and a desperate dive from Machan saves him.
17.4 Zadran to Machan, 2 runs, full ball and good running results in two. That looked like one as it just went to the vacant mid-on but good running meant a yorker resulted in a couple of runs.
