19.6: Pat Cummins to Mohammad Nabi, FOUR! 'The President,' Mohammad Nabi manages to end the innings in style for Afghanistan and sets a target of 149 for the Aussies. Just short of a good length, a bit more pace on it and angled in from the middle stump line. Nabi stays back in the crease and backs away before swiping it across and smashing the ball into the mid-wicket fence. Afghanistan finish with 148/6 on the board!

19.3: Pat Cummins to Nangeyalia Kharote, DROPPED! Should have been four in four for Pat Cummins but David Warner has shelled that catch. Banged in well short and angled across the left-hander, Nangeyalia Kharote reaches out and looks to upper cut but doesn't get the timing right. Warner comes in but the ball is dipping and he ends up spilling it. Just the single is taken.

19.2: Pat Cummins to Gulbadin Naib, OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? Back-to-back T20 World Cup hat-tricks for Pat Cummins and unlike the last game, Cummins is well and truly aware of it this time, sensational stuff. This is bowled on a hard length around middle and angling in, Gulbadin Naib has a swipe across the line but doesn't get much distance on it and the ball travels over mid-wicket. Glenn Maxwell comes in from the deep and takes a simple catch.
0
19.1: Pat Cummins to Karim Janat, OUT! CAUGHT! Well taken in the end by Tim David as he almost misjudged that one completely. Pat Cummins goes into the surface a bit and bowls it at the batter, Karim Janat comes forward and looks to heave it away but gets it high on the bat and over wide mid on. David comes in a bit too much but adjusts and just takes it over his head.
