DAVID KENT

sCotLanD were brought back down to earth at the t20 World Cup after succumbing to the spin of mujeeb Ur Rahman, who propelled afghanistan to a crushing 130-run victory in sharjah. Kyle Coetzer’s side had caused shockwaves by reaching the super 12s, beating sixth-ranked Bangladesh en route, but were outclassed by afghanistan in their first international since the taliban regained control of the country. najibullah Zadran’s 59 from 34 balls lifted afghanistan to a tournament-high score of 190 for four, then mujeeb took centre stage with three

top-order wickets in an over. scotland slumped from 28-0 to 38-6 as masterful mujeeb finished with career-best international figures of five for 20.
