We have our Super Fours - Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan en route to the next round, while others will take planes to their home. Just one more game remaining in the Group Stages. It's India taking on Oman. Do join us on the 19th of this month at 2.30 pm GMT. You can join us earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!
We can see a few Bangladeshi supporters present in the stadium, and they have started celebrating as they know they are on the verge of qualification as well. Afghanistan are closing in on another heartbreak.
Just 10 runs needed now for Sri Lanka! Surely, they can't lose it from here, can they? We saw them struggling a bit under pressure against Hong Kong, China, in the last game, but they will hope there are no more hiccups here. Here's Mujeeb Ur Rahman to bowl the penultimate over.
Time for some pace now as Fazalhaq Farooqi (2-0-23-0) comes back into the attack. The umpire has also given a warning to Afghanistan for not starting the over in time.
Halt in play! Rashid Khan is flat on the ground and in a lot of pain. The Afghan players have surrounded their captain while the physio is out as well. Good to see Rashid Khan back on his feet. He seems okay. Still walking gingerly though.
Kamindu Mendis is the next batter in.
Noor Ahmad is back into the attack.
Sri Lanka have reached the 101-mark, which means they have officially qualified for the next round. 
Charith Asalanka walks in next.
DRINKS! At the halfway mark, Sri Lanka are 82/2, and at the same stage, Afghanistan were 63/3. So, the Lankans are much ahead in the chase. Kusal Mendis is batting beautifully here, with nice support from Kusal Perera. They are now on the brink of qualification, needing just 19 runs, but will want to win this game to boost their confidence. Bangladesh will certainly hope that is the case. Afghanistan needs to tighten things up more, and it all depends on how the four spinners bowl from now on. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us. 
Afghanistan cannot afford to give away extras. They have already conceded 11 runs through wides.
The Afghan spin quartet is into the attack now. Rashid Khan will look to rotate between them and not let the Sri Lankan batters settle in. A crucial phase in this chase.
The skipper, Rashid Khan is into the attack.
Kusal Perera is the new man in.
Change. Mohammad Nabi is into the attack.
Kamil Mishara comes to the middle.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman to share the attack.
