It looks like they'll bat out the 50 overs and get their highest score of this tournament. The game will probably set a new record for the most 6s in a WC game. (It was tied some time ago in this innings.) Pity the bowlers... though they don't have to bowl slow full tosses and long hops.

Afghanistan 8/247 (50). Loss by 150 runs.
