00:00Hello, welcome to Sharjah Cricket Stadium. It's match number four in this
00:29InverX Solar Energy presents Bank Alphala Tri-Nation Series 2025. Afghanistan taking on Pakistan.
00:40Earlier at the toss it was Rashid Khan who won the toss and he decided to bat first.
00:51Afghanistan with a couple of changes that top order stays the same.
00:57Burbaz, Ibrahim, Sadiqullah, Rasooli and Shannath but then they have those two changes.
01:03Mujib out, Ghazan Farin, Sharifuddin, player of the match last night. He's out.
01:09And Noor Ahmadine. So four spinners in the eleven for Afghanistan.
01:14For Pakistan they've gone back to the original team that played against Afghanistan.
01:19Bakhar at number three. Silman Ali Agha who's been fabulous against Spain and Hasan Nawaz.
01:25Also the player to watch out for. And Shahind Shah Freydy, Harris Rowe come back into the team.
01:32So going to that best eleven that they played against Afghanistan in the opening game.
01:41Here we go.
01:44Shahind Shah Freydy to Gurbaz.
01:49That's off with a short one.
01:52Just clipped away leg side. So Afghanistan off the mark and so is Gurbaz.
01:58Pulled away. And that'll go into the stands. Shot and hammered.
02:04Well there's no boundary protection over there. Deep mid wicket.
02:09Catch.
02:10But again it's pulled in the air. Fielder. And taken.
02:15Saim Ayyub takes up Gurbaz and takes two wickets. It's a good catch.
02:21The only feeder stationed there. Deep mid wicket. Test was pulled a little quicker.
02:25And Gurbaz didn't get the timing right on it. But what a catch that is.
02:29Will make Shane McDermott feel really proud. The fielding coach of Pakistan.
02:33Rahmanullah Gurbaz departs after making eight. Afghanistan are ten for one.
02:38Lovely shot. Just held the pose. Balance. Class. All written on that.
02:47But Paul nicely pulled away. Classy shot. Ibrahim Zadran. As ever in control.
02:58Additional opener. With class. And he bolt shot. And you go the distance. That is even better. Maximum.
03:07And you will say that the boundary was a warm up for Ibrahim Zadran. Look for big shots.
03:14Talking a big shot. Now that is some class. We've seen a lot of good shots in this tournament.
03:20That probably will be at the top of the order. What a strike that is.
03:26That's a sweet hit. It was probably supposed to go somewhere over cover. But a bit of a strong right hand.
03:36Now that's a punishing drive. What a great drive that is. In the slot. And driven beautifully. Powering their way.
03:49This time he goes big. And he's pretty confident. And why not. This lands in the second tier. Maximum.
03:56Brilliantly played. He's lifting the balls. Mightily well today. Not his third.
04:01Not his third. And an outside edge. The outward isn't very fast. But good enough to take this ball to the boundary.
04:10It took them 14 deliveries to get the boundary. Well he goes reverse this time. And successfully. Another boundary.
04:20This is a wonderful stroke. Innovative. He knew that the batter was. The bowler was going to ball towards his legs. So maybe he's planned that stroke.
04:35Goes big. And makes a very good connection. Maximum. So the run's starting to flow. A couple of boundaries before this six. And this is the big over they were looking for.
04:45It's a testimony of a form that he is in. And this will run down to the boundary. To end this over. With 20 run off that. From Sufjan Mukim.
04:54And Afghanistan are cruising at 116. For one now. Another slow one. This time. Cut. Behind point. No chance for any fielder. Wonderful batting this. Picking the gaps to his will now.
05:07Aksana. Good at the end. Straight hit. And taken beautifully. What a good catch that is. Hasan Nawaz is a great fielder. His great hands.
05:18Second catch of the evening for him. Back of a length. It is across Seema. Not a lot of time. He's gone flat. Hasan Nawaz makes good ground. And pouches it easily.
05:34But an impressive knock. Yet again. From Sadiqul Atal. He's out for 64. One is done. 123 for two. Looked as. As a match is in winning one.
05:47Drives and is driven beautifully. This single will also raises 50. Fabulous inings. A very controlled 50. It had everything. Big shots. Five fours and a six. Excellent strike rate. 131.8.
06:03Well that's gone into the gap for four. Beautifully played in the air. And he took his eye off the ball. Just a little bit. But still. Had the timing.
06:15Ah. Edge. Good enough to earn him another four.
06:22Another four. On the pass. That's another four. So a very loose. And very expensive. Up in the air. Has a chance. Who's going to call for it.
06:42Fahim Ashraf. Goes back. Takes it cleanly. That's good stuff. Never easy to rush back and catch the ball. And he made it look very easy. So wicket falls.
06:56Yeah. Again it's pace off. So nothing to work with. Little bit of extra bounce as well. But it's a good catch. Running back.
07:03Fahim Ashraf. The man was there. But Fahim Ashraf. Said I'll do it on my own.
07:09Umarzee. Goes for four. It's 145 for three.
07:17That's Ariel. There's another chance. This time he makes no mistake.
07:23Muhammad Nawaz. Makes up for the shell. In the previous over.
07:29Fahim Ashraf again. Making headway. In these final overs. Wide. Slow.
07:35Ibrahim trying to fetch that. And it was too much.
07:40Nawaz takes the catch. It's been a good innings. Of 65 from Ibrahim. It's 146 for four.
07:47That's gone. One bounce over the rope. A little bit of width. Pace on the ball. It's been such a success. Taking the pace off.
07:58Now that is some shot really. Great piece of timing in the slot. And away she went for four.
08:08This should be another scalp.
08:17Bakhar Zaman is a very very fine safe fielder. Had to go back a few paces to collect this one.
08:23So an early exit for Muhammad Nabi. He wanted to hit it out of the ground. Not to be.
08:27So another wicket falls. Now this spell at the back end of the innings has been fabulous. Pace off.
08:34He's just stuck to that and bowled it outside off. Bakhar with a good catch.
08:40Nabi departs for just six. 161 now for five.
08:45That's hit hard. That's gone flat for six.
08:52Just letting everyone know his prowess of big striker. Maybe he should have been in earlier.
08:58Balls a lovely ball. They probably rushed back for two.
09:04So Afghanistan end up with 169 for the loss of five. And well, man of the moment.
09:14You've got to say, Fahim Ashraf has pulled it off for Pakistan.
09:19Hidikul Atal, 64. Ibrahim Zadran, 65. But nothing much else with the bat for Afghanistan.
09:27Shahin bowled a good spell. None for 27. Was miserly.
09:32Saim Ayoub bowled beautifully. Used at the top of the innings.
09:37With the new ball. One for 18. But the standout performer clearly famous.
09:41Four for 27 in four. But that's the target for Pakistan.
09:46170 needed in 20 overs.
09:50Usleps. The first over.
09:53Starts off to the full toss, but a dot ball.
09:58Hidikul Atal up in the circle tells us that he might be moving the ball away from the right hand.
10:05Yeah, this time it's a good connection. Maximum.
10:09So he's had a good enough look. And he decides to go over mid-wicket.
10:13Very skillful.
10:14Once again he starts short, but this time there's an edge. And the keeper takes it.
10:21The offensive bowler you decide to ball. A short one.
10:27And tent. Saim Ayoub. Not surprised.
10:32Passed blood drawn. In the first over of Faruqi. And it's man of the match from the previous game.
10:43Goes without scoring. Pakistan 8 for 1.
10:46Wonderfully balled and trying to drive the edges it. And the ball goes between the keeper and the first lip.
10:55This time cut up and over. No chance for any fielder. Foundry.
11:05Fakhar Zabal loves them there.
11:09And technical abilities. As this one is hit flat and hard over mid-wicket.
11:15Six more to the total. Saib Zadha Faran taking up the attack to the bowlers.
11:21And this one is shot. And he's dropped back and punched it through the gap for another boundary.
11:28Well it was aforementioned. There are other gaps available for him as well.
11:35Straight away. It makes an impact. Gets the off stump. And second blow to the Pakistan team.
11:43This is not the first time. He's been cleaned up by Asima. Why?
11:50The left arm I decided to bowl. Run the stumps. Once again. That stroke was bereft of any footwork.
11:57Played from the crease. Deviation of the surface. And that was more than enough.
12:03He goes for 18. Pakistan in a spot of bother. 29 for 2.
12:10Salman goes big. That's a good connection. One bounce. Whoa.
12:20That's gone up in the air and clears the fence. It's a top at 6.
12:26Good thing about that shot was that he attempted to hit it hard.
12:33Now that is some 6. That's typical Fakhar Zaman for you.
12:37Out of the crease and hitting it so hard and so well.
12:44Now that's straight and big. One bounce over the rope.
12:51A few words were exchanged before this delivery. Nabi challenging him, I think.
12:55Smashed. In the air. Taken. That's the wicket. Once again falls to Muhammad Nabi.
13:03In two matches. Back to back. Fakhar Zaman. Wicket of Muhammad Nabi.
13:08Hitting the length. Trying to cut the ball. It's a fish where the ball bounces more.
13:17And it had the carry to get to the fielder.
13:2225. He got 62 for 3. Difference of 18 runs. It's now come down to 8.
13:29He's the one. He's the one. He's the one.
13:32Excellent running between the wickets. Direct hit. Now how close is that?
13:37Going for an appeal. Just a casual coming back for the second from Salman Aliaga.
13:46Has he made his ground? That's the big call here. Big question. Decision pending.
13:51And look at the work. He gets the ball. Doesn't spend time. Oh my God. That is out.
13:56That is some brilliance out there in the field by Rashid Khan.
13:59He missed a run out earlier. And this time around. Just look at how beautifully he does the work.
14:03Sleight of hand. You've got to call it that from Rashid Khan.
14:09Just a flick at the wrist. Hitting the Sturmson.
14:13Unfortunate way to go. Salman Aliaga was shaping up so well.
14:1720. Got a 15 balls.
14:19Chance taken. Straight away. Wicked after the break.
14:30Very, very unfortunate. Hasan Nawaz trying to sweep one.
14:35Not a delivery that you associate the falling of a wicket with.
14:39But he has to go now. Caught that short fine leg.
14:42And it was a full toss. Hitting back of the bat.
14:47And lobbing up. A simple take.
14:51For the fielder. A short fine leg.
14:53And the bowler knows that he is extremely lucky to get this wicket.
14:56Hasan Nawaz leaves for 9. Pakistan 75 for 5.
15:02In the air. Pulled away. The method hasn't worked.
15:05Ultra aggressive. Again, Mohamed Harris. And he perishes.
15:12His front foot. It is behind the line.
15:14It was shot. And it was there to be hit.
15:16But Harris didn't get enough of it.
15:19And in the end, an easy take for the fielder at deep mid wicket.
15:23And Mohamed Nabi is pumped up.
15:25And for Harris, the misery continues.
15:28One he got. Pakistan 82 for 6.
15:30Oh, what a delivery. A huge appeal.
15:34Lovely off-spinner delivery. Turn and bounce.
15:41Missed the bat. Struck the pad.
15:44Nabi not happy.
15:46But at the end of it all, it's a dot ball.
15:4986 for 6.
15:51Pakistan, can they make a fist of things?
15:54That's gone up in the air. Another one for Russia.
15:56He takes another scalp. Struggling Nawaz.
16:00He got 12 from 15 balls.
16:03And it's all crumbling for Pakistan.
16:05You have to give it to a funny captain.
16:08And the captain in action.
16:14Removes another one.
16:18And it's, it was a vigil for Mohamed Nawaz.
16:23He goes for 12.
16:24He wanted them to get 170.
16:27They got 169.
16:29Goes and is done.
16:33Rashid gets another wicket.
16:36Shaina Freedy wanted to hit him over the rope towards the lakeside.
16:39Not to be missed the ball.
16:41The ball hitting the stumps.
16:42And that is that.
16:44And he's on a hat-trick.
16:45Yeah, it's necessary to have hard skills in this format of the game.
16:54But, softer skills.
16:56They take you places.
16:57We haven't seen that.
16:58One or three for eight.
16:59One or three for eight.
17:01Yeah!
17:02Hold him.
17:04Had no clue.
17:06Of the length, the line.
17:08And he's been cleaned up.
17:10Record number two for Noor.
17:12Match.
17:14He's been used and is delivered magnificently.
17:18Fahim Asher wanted to hit it hard.
17:20But just couldn't gather the pace on that one.
17:23Or lack of pace.
17:24Just couldn't pick it.
17:2514 of 18 balls.
17:26Pakistan.
17:271-11 for nine.
17:33That's...
17:36Gone on the bounce.
17:37To the fence.
17:39A couple of meaty blows in this over from Haris Rauf.
17:46It's a nice hit.
17:47Clean hit.
17:48Misses the fielder.
17:50One bounce over the rope.
17:51Oh, that's landed up in the roof.
17:56I'm sure.
17:58It is a magnificent six.
18:00A gigantic six.
18:07There's a chance.
18:09Is it a chance that's gone all the way well?
18:11He's dealing in sixes.
18:14That's his fourth six.
18:17An impressive bowling spell, but...
18:19Really being impactful with the bat.
18:23So that is it.
18:24Afghanistan win this quite comprehensively.
18:27Pakistan.
18:291-51 for the loss of nine after 20 overs.
18:31Handshakes all around.
18:35So that is the upshot of the game.
18:36Afghanistan.
18:371-69 for the loss of five.
18:39Ibrahim and Sadiq there.
18:41Laying out the great foundation for that score.
18:44And then Pakistan in reply were never in it.
18:46The top order faltered.
18:48And 1-51 for nine after 20 overs.
18:52And Afghanistan winning by 18 runs.
18:56Points table there.
18:58Pakistan still at the top of the ladder.
