England received a revised target of 101 runs under the DLS method, and they chased it down with 9 wickets in hand and 41 balls to spare.
Nasir Jamal (17 off 52), Mohammad Nabi (16 off 17 ) and Shafiqullah (30 off 64) were the only batters to show some resistance. For England, Chris Jordan (2/13) and Ravi Bopara (2/31) shined while Stuart Broad, James Anderson, and James Tredwell chipped in with a wicket each.
The chase, meanwhile, was made to look like a cakewalk by the English team, with Ian Bell playing the innings of unbeaten 52 off 56 balls. Alex Hales contributed 37 before falling to Hamid Hassan, Afghanistan’s only successful bowler, as England reached 101/1 in 18.1 overs.
