Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen! The Afghanistan openers are out in the middle, ready to take on the challenge in this grand finale. History says chasing hasn’t worked in this tri-series - not once. But will tonight be different? Are we about to witness a twist in the tale? Let's find out..

Noor Ahmad: Just wanted to keep it simple and hit the right length, that worked for me. The wicket looks good for spinners, hitting the right length will give you good results. We just need to have a good powerplay, we can chase it. This is the best preparation for me ahead of the Asia Cup. We (Afghan spinners) eat batsmen for breakfast (laughs).
