Live updates and stats from Australia vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup match

Gulbadin Naib was in the middle of his spell, with Australia needing 65 runs to win from 48 balls. Glenn Maxwell managed to get a single off the first ball, but Afghanistan seemed to have a chance for a wicket on the next delivery. There was a confident appeal for LBW when Tim David was at the crease. The on-field decision was given as OUT, prompting the Aussies to ask for a review. After the review, it was confirmed that David was indeed out, trapped LBW by Gulbadin.

As Tim David walked back to the pavilion with just 2 runs to his name, Matthew Wade stepped up as the new Aussie batter in the middle. Wade wasted no time in getting off the mark with a single off the first ball he faced. Afghanistan then conceded a bye, allowing Wade to add another run to the scoreboard. Meanwhile, Maxwell took charge and hit a massive SIX down the ground, bringing up his 50 in style. The ball just made it over the rope for another six, further boosting Australia’s run tally. At this point, Australia’s score stood at 94 runs with 5 wickets down after 13 overs.
