That's the end of the game and Afghanistan wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. Planet Cricket XI was never in the game but that is more down to Afghanistan's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Spin benefited greatly throughout the day. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for Afghanistan! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured Planet Cricket XIs.

[RUDI]

a somewhat conservative start by Planet Cricket XI, Ali Bubere @Ali. on 42, both Pinch Hitter & User2010 out!

 

[RUDI]

And we are down to the tail ...

 

[CerealKiller]

Who the hell is Fareed Ahmed and why is he bowling? @The Punisher

 

[CerealKiller]

So many wides

 

[RUDI]

Who the hell is Fareed Ahmed and why is he bowling? @The Punisher

Had to change Amir Hamza at the last minute I made sure all the players are available pre match yesterday. Today, The Simulator doesn't pick him for the match up doesn't matter what I do.
Too many wides

 

[CerealKiller]

Great win by Afghanistan. The spinners did their work (although Amir Hamza was missing, for some reason), and Stanikzai played a blinder, and was well supported by Mangal and Shenwari.

 

[AliB]

So we have lost it finally..

 

[Pinch hitter]

Ali played good innings, rest not so impressive... Overall it looks good match for viewers...

 

[Perfect Square]

I think bowlers didn't bowled with tight accuracy. We gave too many extras.

We will bounce back in the next game!

 

[Till Valhalla]

Bad luck for us.

 

[Targaryen]

We had an average score on the board. It could've been defended. Our bowling was pathetic as they finished the game in 16th over.

Hope we bounce back in the next game.

 

[Neo 7]

they finished the game in 26th over.

16th

 

[Targaryen]

16th

Lol yeah. 1 was replaced by 2.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Things didn't really go according to the plan. We needed more runs against a strong Afghan batting. Hopefully the top 4 can step up next game. I will give the same XI one more chance.
