A strong batting display from Afghanistans top order, powered by half-centuries from Javed Ahmadi and Nasir Jamal, helped the team to an eight-wicket victory against Scotland in Dubai. Set 238 for victory in a game that was reduced to 45 overs a side, Afghanistan began their chase brightly, as the openers Ahmadi and Usman Ghani raced to 121 in 17.3 overs. Ghani slammed six fours and a six during his 39-ball 48, while Ahmadi played the more patient but effective foil, scoring 74. espncricinfo/ci/content/story/818461.html
