around the wicket, length and turns away a touch from outside off, tapped to cover and he hustles and bustles to the other end
U.A.E. vs Afghanistan, 6th Match at Sharjah, UAE Tri-Series, Sep 05 2025 - Live Cricket Score
zahid: "outfield looks a bit slow. even 160 will be too good for UAE. @sifat"
around the wicket, bowls an absolute ripper that lands on a length and drifts in sharply to hit the top of middle. Fired that quick and tottaly flummoxed the set batter as he stood tall to get behind the line! Both openers depart in quick succesion. Good passage of play for UAE!
some respite for UAE! Quicker and fuller outside off, he goes along his merry way and lifts it towards long-off, Zohaib perfectly stationed at that position to gobble it up down his throat, not quite berserk as per his standards but he makes a handy contribution and perishes while trying to switch gears
slows this one down and overpitches outside off, enough room to free his arms as he scythes it into the gap at backward point and short third for a four, enough legs to meet the rope
good length and drifts in at off, kept low and he adjusts well to square cut towards point
shorter and angled outside leg-stump, tries to pull and misses it, too far outside leg stump actually
on a length and wide of off, he prances down the track and marvelously heaves it over extra cover for a six, precise feet movement and executed the shot to perfection
goes down on one knee to pummel a slog sweep, misses it completely
over the wicket, back of a length and outside off with some away spin, thwacks it aerially towards deep backward point, sidespin but the fielder adjusts well
on a length and spins away from sixth stump line, cross-bat shot to short cover
on a length and turning away from off, blocked to the bowler's left
purses with the wide line ploy, shorter and oodles of width to work with, slugged away into the gap at backward point, had a lot of time to find the gap
good length and wide of off with plenty of air, waits a touch and then lofts it towards long-on, not quite off the middle and didn't time it to perfection
pushed on a length and gets it inside the tramline on this occasion, driven with an open face to sweeper cover
lots of flight and gets it to slide across the guideline on off again, another wide
good length and spins away from the marker on off, wide signalled
Around the wicket, length and spins it away from wide of off, shanked back to Simranjeet
Sifat Khawry : "This looks like a true batting track, but Afghanistan's batters are going slow without accelerating. They trust their bowling to defend, which often works, but against weaker opponents they should back themselves to push for 200 and really put the game beyond doubt."
lobbed up outside off and he spanks it to short cover, hurtles to the other end and it's time for a little break
steps leg side and he follows him by draging his length back and limiting his room, biffs a swivel pull to deep midwicket
tossed up outside off, lunges at it and punches it solidly to deep cvoer
