It was quite interesting watching the Sri Lankans disembarking off the team bus outside Eden gardens. As they were getting off the bus they were handing their cellphones in.

Match fixing? Or distraction?

I think it's standard practice now for all teams - no phones allowed at the ground...

You aren't allowed to have your cellphone with you in the dressing room. Its one of the rules that was implemented post hansie gate. Hence why they hand in their cellphones.

Afghanistan have won the toss and will bat. Sri Lanka should have this well in hand but then again, no one expected NZ to put one over on India, so...

Had no idea.

Didn't see any Afghanies handing theirs in as they stepped off the bus. Maybe they had already?

NZ were 4-0 up going into the 5th T20 between the 2 teams so actually...

Well played Dilshan.. if it was not for him they may have struggled.

 

[AirWolf]

Afghanistan with tighter fielding would have taken it much closer.

 

[SlowInternet]

Afghanistan put up a good performance although they lost.
