So that's the end of the match and Afghanistan is on a winning track as they won the game by 62 runs. 

Yet another wicket for Afghanistan. Absolute ripper to get rid of the batsman. David Wiese OUT on 26 runs. Well fought innings! 

That's curtains down on Pikky Ya France's inning as he tried to play a lofted shot and Gulabdin who was at mid on ran a couple of steps ahead to grab that one. Eight wickets down and Afghanistan inching closer to a win.

Afghanistan continues to have an upper hand over its opponents. Naveen Ul Haq bowled a slower one and Jan Frylinck mistimed the shot. Lofted it up and gets caught inside the circle at the mid-off. 

David Wiese has continued to fight after the wicket of JJ Smit. He is looking to stabilise the team from the hiccups faced by them.

Namibia is in deep waters as they continue to perish further. This time it was Hamid Hassan who got rid of their captain Gerhard Erasmus. Yorker ball does the trick and half of the side has been sent back to the pavilion. 

Namibia in deep trouble as the team has actually lost their fourth wicket. This time it was Rashid Khan who bowled in line and distributed the furniture. Yet another wicket and the target looks even bigger now. 

So Afghanistan enjoys an upper hand before the end of power play as they got their third wicket in the game. This time it was Gulabudin Naib who scrapped the third wicket. Bowls in line miss the bat and the Namibia batsman gets bowled.

Naveen Ul Haq gets his second wicket in the form of Michael van Lingen. He was looking to play down the pitch but mistimed it and got caught in the slips. Second wicket for  Naveen Ul Haq. 

Naveen Ul Haq has got his first wicket and it was Craig Williams who played a lofted shot and Usman Ghani was the one who took a catch comfortable catch. Willims OUT on 1 run. 

Mohammad Nabi's cameo of 32 runs from 17 runs helps Afghanistan reach a decent total. Namibia needs 161 runs in the second innings. They did lose one wicket in the last over but they posted a good total on the board. 

Despite losing quick wickets in the middle overs, Afghanistan have done well to score with a decent run rate, setting a great platform for the final few overs of the game. AFG have some power-hitters to come and they will be aiming for a competitive score on the board.

Caught! Namibia's previous game's hero Ruben Trumpelmann adds to his wicket column as he dismisses the dangerous Mohammad Shahzad, who was starting to find his groove. Mohammad Shahzad c Scholtz b Ruben Trumpelmann 45(33).

Wicket! Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton gets in on the action as he gets the better of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and traps him in front of the stumps. Gurbaz lbw b Loftie-Eaton 4(8).

Wicket! Namibia have the breakthrough as JJ Smit gets the better of Hazratullah Zazai. The Afghan batter played a brilliant knock giving his team a great start. Hazratullah Zazai c Michael van Lingen b Smit 33(27).

As it has been a huge feature throughout this T20 World Cup, teams have taken a cautious approach at the start of powerplay and Afghanistan are no different as both openers are aiming to keep their wickets and get themselves in first.

Afghanistan will be aiming to bounce back from their defeat to Pakistan and openers Hazratullah Zazai, Mohammad Shahzad and will be aiming to get their team off to a great start.

Afghanistan have won the toss and skipper Mohammad Nabi has elected to bat first. Mujeeb Rahman will miss the game for AFG as he is unfit. Meanwhile, Namibia have named an unchanged team.
