It's the perfect start for Afghanistan, as they amass 62 runs in the powerplay without losing a wicket. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (36 not out off 22) is the chief aggressor from the get go, and while Ibrahim Zadran (23 not out off 14) is slow off the blocks, he makes amends by smashing Jason Holder for a six and a four in the sixth over.
