Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat first and the way their top batting order performed in that match was just outstanding. They scored a total of 300 runs in 50 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side who played his career-best inning of 151 runs on the same balls with the help of 14 boundaries and three huge sixes.

He had a record partnership of 227 runs for the first wicket with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. No other batsman from their side could manage to score some big runs. Mohammad Nabi managed to score 29 runs while the skipper, Hashmatullah Shahidi scored 15 runs. The bowlers of Afghanistan did well till the 49th over but they lost the momentum in the 50th over and that was a key reason why they lost the match.
