RESULT

    All righty then, Afganistan won the toss & decided to bat . . .
The Afghans were all out for for 186 in the 48th over, Samiullah Shenwari made 54 & Najibullah Zadran 56, the rest were out for single figures apart for Hamid Hassan who made 16.

    The Black Caps in reply made a pretty decent effort, the top order all scoring 20 plus, the standouts being guppie (Guptilll) who made 57, & Baz (B McCullum) with 42 off 31 balls. The Black Caps knocking off the total in the 37th over.

So a comfortable win to our boys by 6 wickets
