FOUR! Noor Ahmad to Travis Head. Googly length ball, wide outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep backward point for 4 runs. Unfortunate scenes in Lahore as both captains shake hands, signalling the end of today's match between Australia and Afghanistan. A heavy downpour has left the playing conditions unsuitable, forcing the umpires to call off the game. As a result, both teams will share one point each. This interruption has had significant implications for the tournament, as Australia, despite the abandonment, becomes the third team to qualify for the semi-finals. That's it for today. Thanks for joining us.
