BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
Fazalhaq Farooqi401323.25182010
2.6 to Mohammad Haris, Haris' struggles comes to an end. He looks for the boundary again but it pitched on a length and moved away. Haris went for an ugly hoick only to slice it in the air towards point. Omarzai there ran back and pouched it over his shoulder. 17/1
17.5 to Imad Wasim, Top of middle hit, Farooqi is chuffed as he kicks up in front in celebrations . Imad made room and looked to heave it across the line, the slightly back-of-length ball came in with the angle, beat the bat and sent the bails flying.. 80/9
Azmatullah Omarzai302016.6681100
3.4 to Abdullah Shafique, a huge appeal for lbw and given. Shafique has gone fore the review. It was bowled from wide of the crease, pitching around off and nipping back sharply to beat the inside edge and hit high on the back pad. The question is if it was going over the stumps. Just clipping the bails, the ball-tracking shows. So the original decision stays as it is, and Pakistan lose their second wicket. 22/2
Mujeeb Ur Rahman40922.25150000
7.2 to Azam Khan, a soft, soft dismissal. Pakistan in disarray. A length ball on the pads, was a carrom ball. Azam looked to flick it away but think the ball came a touch slow. He ends up chipping it straight to short midwicket. 41/5
12.1 to Shadab Khan, Loud call of 'catch it,' and Omarzai runs in from deep point and slides to take an excellent catch. Length ball pitched outside off and spun away, Shadab slapped it as mightily as possible but got it off the bottom-quarter of the bat. Omarzai had to run in a few metres, to the diagonal right as the replay shows, and did well to cling to it.. 60/6
Naveen-ul-Haq201919.5054000
5.6 to Saim Ayub, a wicket on the last ball of the powerplay. A length ball, just outside off. Ayub moves across and goes down, looking to go outside the line of the ball. He goes for the scoop but ends up deflecting the ball on to the stumps.. 39/3
Rashid Khan401513.75110000
6.1 to Tayyab Tahir, and he has wicket with his first ball. A length ball on the stumps, Tahir plants his front foot and looks to defend but it pitched well in front of him and lobs in the air. Rashid sprints towards it and puts in a slide to complete the catch. Pakistan 39 for 4 and in a spot of bother. 39/4
Mohammad Nabi301224.00110100
13.5 to Faheem Ashraf, Sticks in the pitch and another soft dismissal as Faheem chips a dolly to cover. Pace is slowed down to 83kph. Landed on a length around off and spun away. The batter was on the back foot, tried to punch it. The ball didn't arrive, so he checked his shot. By then, it was too late. It ballooned straight to Rashid, who's delighted.. 65/7
15.4 to Naseem Shah, Naseem's swung his bat so hard that it's gone back to hit the stumps. Naseem tried to slog it across and missed the ball, he lost his balance. The ball came back and hit him on the body.. 71/8

BOWLINGOMRWECON0s4s6sWDNB
Naseem Shah402716.75102100
5.3 to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, The move to give Naseem his third over pays off. Afghanistan three down. Was short of length around off and Gurbaz looked to pull it away. He couldn't find the middle of the bat, though, and Shafique flung himself to his right at short midwicket to pull off a screamer. 27/3
Zaman Khan301906.33113000
Ihsanullah3.501724.43140120
4.1 to Ibrahim Zadran, a wicket on his first ball in T20I cricket. Short of length and hurries the batter with his pace. Zadran went for the pull but ended up top-edging it behind the wicket. Azam ran back and to his right to settle under it. And Ihsanullah brings out his arrow celebration. 23/1
4.3 to Gulbadin Naib, Naib perishes. Another short-of-length delivery from Ihsanullah, just around off. Naib goes for the pull only to miscue it towards point. Haris runs and grabs it comfortably. Two in his first over in international cricket for Ihsanullah. 23/2
Imad Wasim411112.75171000
9.4 to Karim Janat, Another wicket for Pakistan. Janat goes for the slog sweep but it's too full and in the line of off and middle. He misses and the ball clatters into the stumps. Looked like a premeditated shot. 45/4
