Extremely idiotic decision by Afghanistan to win the toss and bowl First . Bowling is their strong suit . They should have batted first.

True, at the toss Hashmat said something about doing what the opposition would be less comfortable with. If that was the thinking, NZ would have been *much* more bothered about chasing a reasonable total against their attack. Different venue of course, but odd that they decided to deviate from what worked against England.

Yeah I thought that was a mistake choosing to bowl first but their bowling wasn't the problem, it was their fielding and batting that was the problem.

Their batting probably would have been better setting a total during the day than chasing a total under lights though.
