OUT! Caught. Ben Dwarshuis to Noor Ahmad. Length ball, down leg side on the front foot Slog, top edge, caught by Inglis. The first innings has ended, with Afghanistan being bowled out for 273 off the final ball. After Rahmanullah Gurbaz was out in the first over Sediqullah Atal emerged as the standout performer, contributing a crucial 85 runs. His knock was one of resilience and technique, but he fell short of a well-deserved century. Azmatullah Omarzai also played an important role in Afghanistan's total, scoring a brisk 67 runs. On the bowling side, Ben Dwarshuis impressed most, picking up three wickets and leading the charge for Australia. He was well supported by Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson, both of whom took two wickets apiece. Stay tuned for the run chase as both teams look for a semi-final spot.
