It's time I take a deep breath. Two games in a row, two thrilling finishes and it was fun bringing it to you guys. Now, if anyone says that the games between Associates are not interesting, show them the highlights of the last two games. You can now switch tabs to follow the action from the game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. On behalf of Bhanu, Sriram and co-commentator Akshay Maanay, this is Sidhant Maheshwari signing off. Take care.

@cricketwallah: Spectacular turnaround by Afghanistan to win first World Cup match! Their ascent as cricketing nation is among greatest stories in sport...

@irbishi: I feel for Scotland but that was another most compelling cricket match. Associates nations are providing so many highlights @ this CWC2015.

@bhogleharsha: What a finish, what a thriller. Delighted for Afghanistan, but well played Scotland.

@cricketaakash: Super duper win for Afghanistan...there's so much to like about the way they play their cricket

@G_Rajaraman: This win means a lot to all Afghanistan. Am told cricket unites the different strands of society there like nowhere else

@cricket_U: So in space of 24 hours we have seen two best games of the tournament, involving four Associate teams

Let's take a look at some of the interesting tweets from this game:

Nabi: 'This is our first win of the World Cup, everyone has enjoyed this win. There was a lot of pressure and the boys didn't bat well in the middle. We threw away 4-5 wickets early. Sami (Samiullah Shenwari) just batted brilliantly and he took the pressure on himself and took the game till the end. It's a good way of learning how to handle the pressure. We will work in the upcoming games and it's good to put 2 points on the board with 3 games left. Everyone enjoyed and we hope that we win more games. We have got plenty of support in Australia and New Zealand. Back home too, everyone's supporting us (on the support they have received so far).'

Mommsen: 'It is never easy losing a game, but this is particularly a difficult one for us. We knew what to expect and the type of cricket they play. We knew if we were patient upfront, get a couple of wickets and that might lead to a few more and that happened. We had them 7 down pretty early on. So, very disappointed we couldn't finish them off. Obviously, we were always trying to take wickets, but we couldn't. We wanted to get those 8,9 and 10, but unfortunately, it just wasn't to be.'

Shenwari: 'I am happy that I had the strength to stand for Afghanistan. It was a big pressure situation because we lost lot of wickets quickly. So, my coach gave me the responsibility to stay at the wicket till the end. I did my job and I am happy. That was a very poor shot from me, but I was trying to hit more sixes to help us chase it down. Unfortunately, I middled the ball, but I don't know why it didn't go over the boundary. It was a good win for us in the tournament to get 2 points and we are looking forward to win more games and qualify for the next stage.'

Shenwari is the Man of the Match for his gritty 96

Berrington was the pick of the Scottish bowlers. He registered his career best figures, 4/40 in his 10 overs. Davey and Evans supported him well by scalping two wickets each. Haq as usual was at his slowest best, tossing the ball and keeping things tight at his end. He also kept his cool and snared the wicket of Shenwari in the 47th over. However, they could not keep Shenwari quiet when it mattered. Wardlaw had a forgettable day with the ball, he was also the one who bowled the final over of the innings.

Nabi was given out LBW, he reviewed it and Hawk-Eye showed that it was just clipping the leg-stump. Zazai, Najibullah and Naib played some poor strokes and threw their wickets away. Shenwari kept battling at the other end, stitched another crucial partnership with Dawlat Zadran, who went for the glory shot just before the batting powerplay and got out. Hassan hung in there and Shenwari did all the scoring by farming most of the strike. The latter choose which bowler to attack and which bowler to defend, he deserved a hundred but fell four runs short. Shapoor and Hassan held their nerve to finish the game off. The former hit a couple of crucial blows, including the boundary that won them the game.

Ahmadi got Afghanistan to a flier, he played some delightful strokes. Even though Mangal and Stanikzai fell cheaply, he carried on and added 39 runs with Shenwari. However, he threw it away just after reaching his 5th ODI fifty. That wicket opened the floodgates for the Scottish bowlers.

For the Scottish players, this is heartbreaking. They looked extremely sad and were not in a mood to leave the field. Complete contrast for both the teams. Scotland's captain Mommsen can't believe his luck, he is sitting right next to the track in sheer disappointment. Earlier, it was Scotland, who were delighted when Afghanistan were 97/7 at one stage. The way they turned things around to pull off an improbable win will give the Afghan players a lot of confidence going forward. They were ecstatic and why shouldn't they be, they have done a brilliant job of winning this game from nowhere. Shenwari started off slowly, but probably played the best and the most important knock of his life. His 96 was fabulous to say the least, lifting his team from a losing position to taking them very close to the win. He was unhappy that he couldn't finish things off, but the tail-enders did the job for him. This was the best game of the World Cup so far, undoubtedly.

49.3 - Iain Wardlaw to Shapoor, FOUR, Afghanistan have done it, Shapoor has won it for them, he dispatches this to the deep backward square leg fence, takes off his helmet and runs towards his team-mates, he then drops down on the ground, has his arms aloft in the air, Hamid Hassan comes and hugs him after he goes flat on the floor. These are emotional scenes for the Afghan team, their first ever win in a World Cup. A few players run onto the field and hug him. It has been a breathtaking encounter. Shenwari, who got out with 19 runs needed, breathes a sigh of relief.

Shapoor has hurt his finger while putting in the dive. The physio is out there and tending to him. He seems to be fine. The game resumes after a slight delay...

49.2 - Iain Wardlaw to Shapoor, no run, run-out chance missed! Afghanistan are still in the game, it was on leg, Zadran fails to clip it into the leg-side, the ball rolls away towards mid-wicket and he sets off for the single, Machan from mid-wicket runs in and under-arms the throw at the striker's end, Shapoor Zadran was struggling to get back, he puts in the dive and was still short of his crease, but luckily the ball missed the stumps

Captain Mommsen has a discussion with his bowler about the field placements

49.1 - Iain Wardlaw to Hamid, 1 run, good ball from Wardlaw, it was the yorker that tails away in the air, Hassan did well to squeeze it out to third man, the batsmen take a single

Iain Wardlaw [9.0-0-56-0] is back into the attack

5 needed from 6 balls

48.6 - Berrington to Shapoor, FOUR, it goes for a boundary, back of a length delivery angling in on middle and leg, Zadran shuffles across and helps it away to the fine leg fence, this game just keeps getting interesting

48.6 - Berrington to Shapoor, wide, not a great time to give away extra runs, it was full and wide outside off, the umpire exercises his arms and signals a wide, let's see what happens with the extra ball

48.5 - Berrington to Hamid, leg byes, 1 run, slower back of a length delivery on middle stump line, Hassan was looking to tuck it away into the on-side, but he can't connect, the ball goes off the pad to the right of the keeper and the batsmen sneak in a leg bye

48.4 - Berrington to Hamid, no run, on a good length and outside off, Hassan pushes it towards cover-point and he can't take a single there

48.2 - Berrington to Hamid, 1 run, back of a length delivery angled across off, Hassan opens the face of the bat and steers it down to third man for a single

Scotland have decided to review a caught behind appeal. It looked like it came off the thigh pad. In fact, it was the thigh pad and hence, the onfield decision will stay.

Shapoor Zadran, left handed bat, comes to the crease

46.5 - Haq to Shenwari, out Caught by Davey!! Ohh dear, Shenwari has holed out to deep mid-wicket. This is the big wicket. A wonderful innings comes to an end. It was floated on off, Shenwari again went for the slog sweep, but ends up hitting it straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Davey holds onto a fine catch under pressure. There's some confusion in the middle as the third umpire wanted to check whether there were only 4 fielders outside the circle. But, he is happy with what we saw and Shenwari has been given the marching orders. Shenwari c Davey b Haq 96(147) [4s-7 6s-5]

50 needed from 42 balls

Shenwari is not a happy man. It was on a length just outside off, Zadran goes for the loft, skies it towards mid-off, Mommsen runs back from cover and takes a good catch.
