Afghanistan secured a convincing 61-run win against Scotland in a T20 World Cup warm-up game held in Bengaluru.

He was well supported by Mohammad Nabi, who smashed 34 off 16 deliveries to provide a late surge.

Azmatullah Omarzai was particularly effective, taking three wickets for just 14 runs, while Nabi chipped in with two crucial wickets. Despite a brief resistance from Matthew Cross, Scotland was eventually dismissed for 123 in the 20th over.
