Spinner Mohammad Nabi helped Afghanistan register an easy win over Hong Kong in the World Twenty20 yesterday, as they set-up a Group B decider against Zimbabwe to make the Super 10s. Off-spinner Nabi bagged four wickets to help Afghanistan canter to their second straight win in the group stage after humbling a struggling Hong Kong by six wickets in Nagpur, western India.
Rocked by a fixing controversy prior to the start of the tournament, Hong Kong’s campaign in the sixth edition of the World Twenty20 has ended after two consecutive losses.
Electing to bat, the Hong Kong batsmen stumbled to 116 for six in their 20 overs, a score which Afghanistan were able to surpass in 18 overs.
In-form Mohammad Shahzad and Noor Ali Zadran provided a solid start for Afghanistan and despite a few hiccups the Asghar Stanikzai-led side still looked like favourites to make it to the next round.
Brief scores
Hong Kong 116/6 (Ryan Campbell 27, Anshuman Rath 28, Mohammed Nabi 4/20); Afghanistan 119/4 (Mohammad Shehzad 41, Noor Ali Zadran 35, Ryan Campbell 2/28)
