Asia Cup 2023: Sri Lanka overcome spirited Afghanistan chase to reach Super Fours

Real mature batting by afg. Not all balls were hit they rotated strike. Love this afg team
 
Don’t see Afghanistan winning from here but they have done ridiculously well to do so. Hoping they pull it off.
 
Not taking anything away from Afg, but this looks like a perfect batting pitch.
 
2 overs left. Now its abit difficult. They need to get some strikes
 
Afghanistan may come out all guns firing. They are brutal in patches especially spin bowling and lower middle order batting. Hope we get a crunch match. Will go for afghanistan to win this one and create an excitement in this rain driven tournament
My prediction came true
 
Poor shot from Najib. They had it under control and next over was an easier bowler
 
Wide. 15 off 8 needed. Mujeeb no looking to strike.
 
Rashid didn't take the single. Wants to keep strike. 15 needed off 7.
 
Think those 2 dots sealed it unfortunately
 
Either way, mujeeb will have to play a ball.
 
3 needed of one ball and mujeeb gas to do it
 
This has to be one of Afghanistan's greatest ever wins!
 
Wait wait wait. If they hit a 6 in next three deliveries they still make it
 
How the hell did Mujeeb score a rapid fifty against Pakistan? The man cannot hold the bat properly. He bats like Bumrah.
 
Wow. 3 full tosses. And they had no idea.
 
Did the dressing room not know? Who are the coaches? Sack them.
 
He blocked a juicy full tosses.. lmaooooo

Well serves farooqi righr
 
Got to hand it to the Afghans. They gave it a really good go and got about as close as they could have done.

But pleased Sri Lanka went through and we have the four best teams in Asia in the Super 4.
 
There is a TV in the dressing room. Unless you don't understand English or just too dumb and kept it on mute....

Lmaooo these guys threw away the game
 
So angry. Sack the coaches and whatever staff. Ridiculous.
 
Discussion going on and now they are being told. Lmao
 
You have to feel sorry for Rashid Khan and Nabi. They deserve a better team and coach.
 
Sri Lanka was probably laughing thinking they were dumb enough to try to block it out.
 
Man he blocked a full toss. Like come on. I wanna feel bad for them but than I keep remembering that mankad
 
What a brain fade in the end. Jonathan Trott should be ashamed of himself for this blunder. Commentators had more idea then the Afgan support staff.
 
Criminal for the coaches of the Afghan team not to know what was required at the end.
 
Messed it up did Afghanistan.

They could have qualified for the Super 4s if they'd got to 295 from 37.4 overs. Instead they defended/tried to defend the last 3 balls.
 
How can there be no one watching live commentary of TV in dressing room at least
