Dilshan led a successful chase and was in his elements very early into his innings, producing his signature 'Dilscoop' against Dawlat Zardan in the third over when he hit the Afghan bowler for consecutive sixes. With Dinesh Chandimal (18 from 17 balls; 2x4, 1x6), the Sri Lankan opening duo gave them a brisk start, racing to 41 from 32 balls before before Mohammed Nabi gave the first breakthrough.

After Stanikzai's departure, left-hander Najibullah Zardan also had some meaty blows with a four and six against Nuwan Kulasekara in the last over. Afghanistan added 59 runs from the last five overs to set up competitive total.
