- -
Afghanistan innings
3rd over - Javed Ahmadi slaps Iain Wardlaw through cover-point for the first boundary after a tight start by Scotland's bowlers. AFG: 10-0
4th over - Ahmadi goes over mid-off and backward of point from Josh Davey for successive boundaries. AFG: 18-0
5th over - Nawroz Mangal is dropped by Scotland captain Preston Mommsen at second slip. It would have been a spectacular catch had the ball stuck. Mangal tucks a ball into the leg side for a single to bring up 1,000 ODI career runs. AFG: 27-0.
7th over - Ahmadi belts Wardlaw for successive boundaries to move to 32 from 31 deliveries. AFG: 40-0
8th over - Ahmadi top-edges Alasdair Evans down to fine leg but Hamish Gardiner is unable to take a spectacular diving catch. Evans then bowls Mangal for seven and has Asghar Stanikzai caught behind for four. AFG: 46-2
10th over - Samiullah Shenwari struggles to get going as Evans builds some scoreboard pressure by keeping Ahmadi off strike. AFG: 48-2
18th over- Ahmadi edges Wardlaw guides over the slips for his eighth boundary then pushes a single into the off-side for his fifth one-day half century. AFG: 85-2
19th over- Ahmadi attempts to hit Richie Berrington out of the park but is caught at long on by Matt Machan for 51. AFG: 87-3
20th over - Josh Davey traps Mohammad Nabi in front for one, though the Afghanistan captain reviews the decision. Technology shows it would have just clipped the stumps so the on-field umpire's decision stands. AFG: 88-4
21st over - Majid Haq drops Shenwari at first slip on the next delivery from Berrington. Afsar Zazai is trapped in front for a golden duck. AFG: 89-5
23rd over - Najibullah Zadran, who had creamed a cover drive to the boundary two balls previously, is caught by Haq at slip off Berrington for four to push Afghanistan into deep trouble. AFG: 96-6
24th over - Davey bowls a bouncer to Gulbadin Naib and Haq sprints from first slip to behind third to take his second catch of the innings. AFG: 97-7
27th over - Dawlat Zadran squeezes two runs off a slower ball from Berrington to bring up the 100. AFG: 100-7
30th over - Evans continues to keep the pressure on Afghanistan with a tight over that yields just two runs. AFG: 107-7
35th over - Dawlat produces an attacking shot that did not need to be played and is caught at mid-off by Preston Mommsen for nine to give Berrington his fourth wicket. Shenwari gives Dawlat a mouthful as he trudges past. AFG: 132-8
37th over - Shenwari pulls a short ball from Berrington to mid-wicket for two runs to bring up his ninth half century. AFG: 136-8
40th over - Haq concedes five runs from the final over of the batting power-play, which yielded 21 runs in five overs. AFG: 153-8
43rd over - Haq bowls four dot balls, upping the pressure before Shenwari belted a six over mid-wicket. AFG: 161-8
45th over - Hamid Hassan attempts to get off strike with a quick single and while both batsmen stutter in their run, Haq is too slow to remove the bails. AFG: 170-8
47th over - Shenwari belts Haq for three sixes but then holes out to mid-wicket attempting to hit his fourth to be dismissed for 96. Third umpire checks Scotland had four fielders outside the circle and is satisfied. AFG: 192-9
49th over - Shapoor Zadran pushes a Berrington delivery into the off-side to bring up the 200 for Afghanistan and then flicks the last ball of the over to the fine leg boundary. AFG: 206-9
50th over - Shapoor is almost run out on the first ball but manages to flick Wardlaw to the square leg fence to win the game with three balls remaining. AFG: 211-9

Scotland innings
2nd over - Calum MacLeod fails to get over the top of a short delivery from Dawlat Zadran and cuts firmly to Najibullah Zadran at backward point for a duck. SCO: 7-1
3rd over - Kyle Coetzer hammers the first boundary off the bat with a square cut from Shapoor Zadran. SCO: 12-1
7th over - Coetzer hits Hamid Hassan for successive boundaries. SCO: 31-1
10th over - Dawlat concedes five runs as Scotland rotate the strike to end the compulsory power play. SCO: 38-1
11th over - Hamish Gardiner survived appeals for lbw and aught behind on successive deliveries before he is trapped in front by Hassan and given out for five. SCO: 40-2
12th over - Coetzer plays around a ball from Dalwat and is clean bowled for 25. Captain Preston Mommsen also survives a lbw appeal that was high then square drives to the boundary. SCO: 44-3
21st over - Matt Machan guides the ball past point for two runs from Gulbadin Naib to bring up the 50-run partnership with Mommsen. SCO: 92-3
22nd over- Machan gives himself room to play a needless shot against Mohammad Nabi and is fooled by the pedestrian pace from the off-spinner and bowled for 31. SCO: 95-4
23rd over - Naib makes another breakthrough, bowling a leg cutter that catches Mommsen's edge and goes through to Afsar Zazai for 23, putting Afghanistan on top. SCO: 96-5
30th over - Richie Berrington and wicketkeeper Matt Cross, who have steadied the innings with a 34-run partnership, take five from Nabi's seventh over. SCO: 130-5
32nd over - Berrington survives an appeal from Nabi and Afsar for what appeared to be caught behind off his bat and back pad. Afghanistan review and technology shows the batsman had not hit the ball and could not have been lbw as it would have just gone over the stumps. SCO: 134-6
33rd over - Hassan takes a good catch low down at mid-off from Shapoor to dismiss Josh Davey for one. The cartwheel celebration returns. SCO: 134-7
35th over - Shapoor concedes just two runs in the last over before Scotland's batting power-play. SCO: 142-7
37th over - Berrington feathers an outside edge from Dawlat to Zazai for 25 to leave his side in desperate straits. SCO: 144-8
40th over - Alasdair Evans guides the ball into the off side for a single to bring up the team 150, though just 13 runs came from the batting power-play for the loss of the last remaining specialist batsman. SCO: 155-8
45th over - Evans and Haq go for a silly quick single with the throw at the stumps wide and going for four overthrows. SCO: 180-8
47th over - Hassan concedes just one run from his final over to finish with 1-38. SCO: 183-8
48th over - Haq pushes into the leg side and Evans takes off for a single but turned back and is stranded mid-pitch but Nabi's throw at the stumps is well wide. Haq flicks a high full toss, called a no ball, to fine leg and nicks a short delivery to third man to bring up the 50 partnership. SCO: 196-8
49th over - Evans goes down the ground over mid-off for a boundary to bring up the 200 and then tries a ramp over the wicketkeeper only for the ball to strike his pad and go to third man for another boundary. SCO: 206-8.
50th over - Shapoor takes two wickets in the final over with Haq caught at point for 31 before Evans is taken in the covers on the final ball of the innings for 28. SCO: 210 all out
