00:00India win, unbelievable teams here at the Budweb.
00:09The victorious Pakistan team.
00:13Hollywood and his team have won the world 2020 final.
00:17The winners of Stingis.
00:21Sri Lanka, the new champions.
00:25Charles Kraft wins, remember the name.
00:29Live the game, love the game.
00:39It's match 24 in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
00:44In Dubai, Afghanistan against Pakistan inside the Ring of Fire.
00:50And Afghanistan who got off to a winning start.
00:53And Pakistan as well with a dream start with wins over India.
00:58And New Zealand, Afghanistan with Mahmoud Nabi their captain.
01:03A win, a trouncing win over Scotland in their first.
01:06This, a mighty clash between two neighbouring countries.
01:10And at the toss, Mahmoud Nabi won it and decided to bat first.
01:15We're in the Dubai International Stadium in the Super 12 Group 2.
01:23Match 24 of the tournament.
01:25Pakistan against Afghanistan.
01:27And group 2, it's looking very good for Pakistan with their huge win over India and a big win over New Zealand.
01:39That came a little bit late but they got through.
01:41The net run rate is good.
01:42Afghanistan, they trounced Scotland by 130 runs.
01:46Look at their net run rate.
01:48And the other teams, Namibia and Scotland and India.
01:51Well they got some ground to make up.
01:53Top 2 teams will qualify for the semi-finals.
01:57So Afghanistan, they are batting first.
02:04No change for them but look at the strike rates.
02:08Zazai, 154.
02:10Shehzad, 134.
02:11Ramanullah Gurbaz, 141.
02:13Nabi, the skipper, 146.
02:15Najibullah, 143.
02:16They bat all the way down.
02:18Rashid there at number 9 in the batting order.
02:23Pakistan, no change either here.
02:25This is their bowling economy.
02:29Malik, just over 7.
02:30Afridi, just over 8.
02:32Osralf, 8.6.
02:33Hossan Ali, 8.3.
02:35Shadab, 7.3.
02:36And Imad Wasim, 6.3.
02:39That's wonderful numbers.
02:44He injects venom with the new ball.
02:47He deals with degrees of ferocity.
02:50It's controlled hostility from Shaheen.
02:53It causes devastation when the ball swings
02:57and at lethal pace.
02:59And he's got a slip to start.
03:01Here we go.
03:06Wonderful build-up, Shaheen.
03:09Not quite the answer.
03:14Yeah, it's an event.
03:15The game is an event as well, but also...
03:19The crowd just pouring in.
03:24It is a massive game.
03:26We already heard the crowd when we were out there.
03:29It was so noisy.
03:30We're still coming in.
03:32Rushing in.
03:33Now, I guess he would prefer to bowl to the right-hander.
03:40To envisage, visualize his swing.
03:44Will Shahzad tee off?
03:48Will he go from the outset, from the offset here?
03:51That's to protect that front pad, Shahzad straight away.
03:57Oh, he's on the move.
03:58He's on the run.
03:59Where is he going?
04:00Shahzad...
04:01I'm not so sure that's too wise to go walking down the pitch.
04:06One or two of the Pakistan players thought it might have been a touch.
04:09I think he's keeping his counsel as captain here.
04:13It's a swing back in that you're worried about as a right-hander.
04:16And just because of that, Shahzad coming down the track, making sure that LBW is out of the picture.
04:36But the ball just slid away from him.
04:39Well, no swing yet.
04:49No swing from Shaheen Shafridi.
04:56Shaheen Shafridi in the power play.
04:58He searches for that swing and goes so full.
05:01We look at 33%.
05:02That is very full.
05:03And then Lance Bortz hardly goes short.
05:05Because he knows that he's working with swing.
05:08And normally when he swings it, it finishes within those stumps.
05:12So very accurate as well.
05:15And in his T20 career, his economy is outstanding.
05:18Low percentage of boundaries.
05:20Balls full and fast.
05:21Swings the ball either way and attacks the stumps.
05:23He hasn't done that yet.
05:25Not yet.
05:26In three balls.
05:29Oh, he gets the Yorker in.
05:33Now has there been a little bat?
05:35I don't think so.
05:37So, no.
05:45Chris Brown, the umpire from New Zealand.
05:49He's very excitable right now, Shaheen.
05:52Barbarazam wants more information.
05:53He angled back in.
06:02So, Rizwan straight away thought that he was missing leg.
06:05And I think he's right.
06:06Shaheen Shafridi.
06:07Well, he was in no doubt.
06:09But in the end, Barbarazam trusting Rizwan.
06:14There are certain facial expressions that bowlers have when they know it's out.
06:19And it wasn't there then for Shaheen.
06:22He knew it.
06:23Well, that'll feel nice even if it's just one.
06:26Every ball is cheered here.
06:35Stars to watch.
06:36Well, there's a galaxy of stars.
06:37They're everywhere.
06:38Shaheen, Haris Rauf, Mohamed Rizwan, Mujib, Rashid Khan and Zazai.
06:50Stars for both these teams.
06:52As a player, you'd be disappointed if you're not shown on that list.
06:57Well, maybe there's another page coming, Baz.
07:01There he is, the maestro.
07:04The king of spin.
07:07Well, this was the appeal.
07:08It's missing leg stump.
07:09It's pitched outside leg anyway.
07:11It's fast.
07:17It's clattered into the knee.
07:19It's not out, Shaheen.
07:20It's not out.
07:21Got a ball straighter.
07:23First over, gone.
07:25It's five for no wicket.
07:33I think it would be a mistake, Baz.
07:35Oh, he's going upstairs.
07:36It doesn't look right this one.
07:38The geometry doesn't look right.
07:40Third, I'm back to director with a player review for LBW.
07:51Original decision on field is not out.
07:53I've checked front foot.
07:54It's a fair delivery.
07:55Let's start with front on, please.
07:56Doesn't appear to be any bat involved.
07:57Let's go to ultra edge, please.
07:58Ultra edge coming up.
07:59Flat line.
08:00Rolling through.
08:01Flat line.
08:02No bat involved.
08:03Let's go to ball checking when ready.
08:04Ball checking when ready.
08:05Ball checking coming up.
08:06Original decision is not out.
08:07Impact outside leg stamp.
08:08Stay with your original decision.
08:09Stand by.
08:10You're on screen now.
08:33umpire was right missing leg five for no wicket from one
08:40imad was seen with the best of five for 14 left arm spin
08:46that'll be a wide to start he's not a great spinner he's not a prolific swing bowler spin bowler he
08:55tends to sort of bowl arm balls ball comes on with the arm joel wilson from trinidad
08:59standing in his 35th t20 international and we've got chris brown of new zealand
09:08they see how the ball just you see how the ball just drifts into the pad so i don't think batters
09:16really look for spin from imad here we are chris brown of new zealand standing in his 37th
09:25he's been under the pump already from a very excitable shaheen shah freedy
09:30with a raucous how many pills did he have three in that first over bez
09:37this will be a match-up though left-hander on strike imad prefers bowling to right-handers with that
09:43swing back in now the ball will almost swirl away from zazai's as i will like that because it'll free
09:50him up deep fielders long on deep mid wicket
09:57well that's drifted across and just found the outside edge imad was seen that best for him the
10:03five for 14 for imad was seen was against the west indies here on this ground in 2016.
10:09very good very good yeah just that seam position the ball is always going to swirl away no chance of that
10:17spinning
10:21barbara asm himself the skipper at slip
10:27oh top edge it's gone nowhere it's gone harris ralph takes the catch and it's a good catch
10:36imad was seen makes the first strike for pakistan it was the flashing blade of zazai and he was nowhere
10:45near middling the ball and he pays the price he's gone for a five ball duck
10:51yeah the ball swinging away and he's gone next side so outside edge off the bat
11:02aris ralph does really well gathers himself balance underneath it and it's a big
11:07huge blow straight away in the power play it's imad was seen this time the zai
11:13goes without scoring it's seven for one
11:28well the new bat at three for afghanistan is the 19 year old romanola gurbaz
11:35highest score of 87 this was hasratullah zazai he was looking leg side nowhere near the ball
11:45good catch this from harris ralph it was up there for a long time
11:50in the lahore kalanda holds on good catch
11:54ramanola gurbaz 19 years of age had the one match in the pakistan super league he played for the
12:08multansultans has an icc t20i ranking of 12.
12:15he's only played three one day internationals he scored 127 on his debut that was against ireland
12:21and his best t20i scores against ireland 87
12:27he looks well organized pass yeah looks a quality player more in the conventional mode play with
12:39hands in front with the spinners which is a good way to pay mark
12:45it's a very good over from imad two gone it's eight for one
12:51oh he's gone after him over extra that should have enough on it hassanali will not cut it off it's
13:00four first boundary of the match
13:05oh has he got enough no he hasn't
13:10barbara asm takes the catch and shaheen chafredi strikes that's the second we get down he's out for
13:18eight is 13 for eight is 13 for two
13:23oh what a crack goodness me that sailed over into the stands ramanola gurbaz
13:33that made a good noise
13:36oh oh oh the trouble here trouble trouble it's got to be a good throw the throw wasn't good enough
13:42from rizwan he had much more time he had much more time than he realized
13:51hello let's go up guard six over square well maybe he was annoyed with the throw as well
13:59one leg side almost there the run for four it would have been spectacular 17 from the over four gone 30 for
14:11two
14:11he'll catch it simple harris right midas touch he's quick
14:21he's in superb bowling for pakistan a lot of pace
14:24that's good one 10 is 33 for three
14:31oh searching probing yorka outstandingly delivered for this last ball of the fifth
14:41flicks it third it's gone way into the rows four or five rows back six of the last ball of the fifth 39 for three
14:50now this ought to be caught and he's caught
14:57and he's called babarazam oh afghanistan you're playing into their hands they continue to impress
15:05and afghanistan continue to lose wickets
15:07well you don't see hassan ali miss his target much he's a very consistent bowler with a lively place
15:18pace good competitor good thinker and that will infuriate him a real freebie for jana
15:23well done well placed two words blocked into one there it's a pretty good shot thus the temptation
15:35oh the reverse and a fall from it what a shot that is that's out thinking your opponent sure is
15:43everyone talking about the short boundary i'll reverse it it's a full toss mind you got the perfect ball for it
15:54should be two in it and he's four in it so he's got out dirty not clean very good over for afghanistan nine gone 64
16:03four four four four four how big is this not big enough nowhere near big enough all the wickets keep
16:13falling very difficult to build the sort of total you need against pakistan if they keep falling
16:19janat goes for 15 it's 64 for five
16:23swung away short side 20 of it enough six for nudgy bullet
16:36oh great response what a great response the wrong one from shut up going across this one picks up the
16:43catch six and out it's not really what i'm going to stand really wanted at that stage 76 for six
16:53it's not just bowling a long way behind the line look after his mates
17:09there's a lovely shot beautiful timing moment nabby what a boundary
17:18that is a beautiful shot it's like the ball just sits so deep in his bat
17:23speaking of tips how about a batting tip shane watson give us a little bit of an explanation on that
17:29from muhammad nabby's just he's not premeditating at all i love he's just sitting there waiting for
17:34the bowler to make a mistake
17:38that will be four over correction bouncer leg start half folly clipped away by gulberdin
17:45just a delivery one at any stage off your batting this is the over they might target
17:50this is the over they target that shorter boundary leg side
17:56slower length ball and picked up leg side smart batting wait for the shorter boundary
18:01leg side two right handers in he goes full drag leg side in the gap that should be four more
18:08it is 10 from the first two balls with hassan ali afghanistan on the charge
18:17over extra not timed there is a man out there there are two of them and they work as a pair
18:24it's smart batting though he knew the ball outside off some hit it over extra fuckers the man well he's done really well
18:32that is absolutely fine
18:37long on in play long on snow it goes through him for four brilliant over this for afghanistan there's still a
18:44ball left and they've had 18
18:46leg side bigger hit doesn't go to the sweeper just a single
18:59the 50 partnership of just 36 deliveries and their last over
19:04and has put pressure back on pakistan you're looking at
19:07maybe 130 now that goes to 140 maybe 145
19:15obviously will be banged into the pitch occasionally he'll try for the yorker as well
19:22pull back himself here gulbert in to take on the big boundary or can he scoop it up over short fine leg
19:28takes on the big boundary this time they might think of two no the fielding's good
19:43big game this evening two big games tomorrow as well
19:49first up we've got south africa playing against sri lanka that's from sharjah 2pm
19:55local time and then the big one tomorrow night england against australia two unbeaten sides
20:03in group one head-to-head 6pm here at the dubai international stadium
20:16edged that should go away for four it does
20:19the third was just brought in before this delivery and what happens the outside edge races away
20:31always a chance with that big swing almost pays off but the edge well nobody's stopping that
20:38hit hard can the sweeper get around to that no this is a brilliant partnership now developing
20:55afghanistan back in this game
20:57that's been tucked leg side that's come right off the middle here's the big boundary but
21:07he's hit it so hard watches it on to the back it's in the gap and it's gone flat it's bounced away
21:1531 runs off the last 10 balls 42 of the last three overs and four balls much needed momentum
21:29can they get back for two this time no is the call from nabby
21:32so now with this last delivery aris rauf has third and fine leg in the circle the offside is the way to
21:43go you bowl into the pitch probably preempt that by giving yourself a bit of room maybe now there's a
21:51changing field again or not long off just outside
22:01dragged away that will be four more 15 from the 19th over 140 for six
22:1036 runs scored of the last two overs
22:12and suddenly 150 looks on target poor delivery well it's really tough with fine leg and third in the
22:26circle either way you're going to be punished the swivels around this is brilliant from afghanistan
22:36as a brilliant yorker shaheen shah afridi he may have different plans from ralph who went into the pitch
22:42will he go to his yorker early length misses out there nabby who's deep in his crease
23:05just down the leg side and he's swiveled around
23:08one leg in the circle so an easy shot
23:18ravi will try and use his crease here the depth in his crease to get some kind of elevation
23:23on the ball he's back gets the yorker in well played excellent cricket
23:31no two there to the shorter boundary excellent cricket there everything about that the yorker the
23:36shot the fielding shine sharp really had to get it perfect and he got it perfect
23:43that's a good shot i don't know how you describe that but the shovel leg side work brilliant cricket
23:50skills on show
23:52just that 64 meter hit that's what they're looking for angles against against him
24:03he's good this lad he's good with the new he's good with the old
24:15since the 17th over boundaries have floored but obviously the power leg side
24:19is what has made the difference
24:33and again and again they may come back for two this time still no run out chance
24:39not a run out chance
24:45chaos i think there's just one scored there chaos
24:49last ball of the innings great over so far from the 3d just five singles can he finish off
25:20now square leg umpire will have a look at that he's going to call it a no ball he's going to call
25:24it a free hit on height was it above waist height
25:33it was
25:33no lack of drama this game the perfect over
25:44last delivery slips out
25:45probably not happy is having a word i think barba wants it checked really
25:49sometimes they check this from sideways on was it above waist height in your normal stance
25:58oh yes yes yes yes absolutely so free hit
26:03this clip leg side should only be a single so apart from the free hit
26:10the good over from the 3d to end but plenty of momentum from afghanistan
26:16very fine partnership between nabi and gulbuddin of 71 gets them up to 147 for six
26:24eventually a good crowd came in there was a few issues getting in the ground but
26:28great atmosphere between these two neighbors slow start for afghanistan azai shahzad ramad
26:36nulla afghan janat went najib went but then that partnership 35 a piece between nabi and gulbuddin
26:44excellent partnership in just 48 deliveries
26:49ahmad nabi who just remained calm it's been frenetic number five in the icc rankings mujib
27:02i like to see the slip as well they're doing you you need they need to attack
27:06a little leg slow just with the way mujib bowls tight lines they always target the stumps they look
27:14for lbw's bolds a little bit of drift just a little drift in with the arm
27:26well this is what they do the spinners in the super 12 hitting the stumps 58
27:30missing the stumps just 42 so they target the stumps it's exactly what they do
27:36against scotland look at those wickets lbw's and bolds and targeting the stumps the
27:42catches in the deep as well both mujib and rashid in particular and then nabi to follow
27:49have a lot of them he's got 60 20 centuries on his cv
28:06his highest score in the t20 is 122 joel wilson of trinidad
28:11well that's short too short for Barbara Arsene he's not going to be undone by that length
28:24and the Chris Brown of New Zealand tall former police force and was a decent bowler
28:34medium fast fast medium again you see this drift again from Mujib yes lovely isn't it if she uses
28:45the new ball as little sort of a bank spinner that just floats out almost seam up just tails
28:53into the right hand is very difficult one leg side just the one first over gone three for no
29:01wicket it's wonder what Afghanistan might start with it looks like the captain's going to have a
29:10ball here Muhammad Nabi with his offspin a lower arm trajectory from Muhammad Nabi
29:15four for ten his best ICC ranking of 23 four for ten that was against Ireland in Dubai here
29:27some four years ago how well he batted couldn't get on strike for a long time but he held it
29:36together with good with the knife a wrist one of course mama briswan and Barbara Arsene they were
29:45undefeated in that record partnership against India
29:49on the lake side deep backward square and deep mid wicket 60 60 meters between the two players
30:02allowed out of the 30 yard circle in the power play
30:05to get a start of defended scores of 147 or less six times in t20 internationals once at this ground
30:21against Ireland you got to go back some 11 years to remember that game but they have a decent record of
30:30defending scores around the 147 or lower
30:35have to hurry they have to go some direct hit I think that might be the end of the skipper and it might
30:45well have been at the wrong end but they really there was a scare I think bubble was okay I think
30:53Rizwan was the man in trouble but I'm a no longer bass couldn't turn and throw quick enough or tell you
31:01what might have been tight might have been tight if he'd gone to the keeper's end and found the gloves I think
31:08Rizwan was gone for all money just pause for a moment
31:13it's just relieves a little pressure it's the pressure cooking you just relieve the steam comes out you want to keep pressure on these two opening batters for Pakistan
31:30yeah Karam Jonathan that occasion you just you've got to be up to the mark they've got to be on the top of their game fielding
31:36that's it around the corner for one just these little singles and a little miss field that'll be
31:44that'll be annoying Mohamed Navi
31:51four singles on this over so far
31:53a ball was prepared to give it a little bit of flight
32:08he's such a clever cricket of Mohamed Navi doesn't matter what he's playing what
32:14format of the game he's a very wily cricketer
32:17he's caught on in this he really has one bounce four for Rizwan two gone eleven without loss
32:33poor poor finish should be disappointed with that Navi gave him a freebie
32:38soon as that pitch is on or just outside leg stump Rizwan has a free hit
32:43man is up inside the circle behind square on the leg side
32:47up is a long way out of his crease maybe might want to have a look at that next over
32:55Barbara Azamon strike Mujib
33:01looks so easy for baba just rocks back doesn't almost looks as if he never plays a shot in anger
33:08I don't like that at all I don't like the fact there is an easy one on offer straight to mid off
33:14get him up if you're inside the circle save one if if Bubba's got to take the risk to go over the top
33:20that's what you want him to have to do
33:24just don't give him that easy one option at least mid off has to be a little closer or the man at cover
33:31he can come really tight point can stay a little bit deeper and mid off can stay a little bit deeper but
33:36the man at cover he needs to be right in
33:39he's gone after it man underneath it takes it
33:45takes the catch he held his nerve it was heading his way
33:50and that's an early strike Afghanistan they're up for a scrap here against Pakistan
33:58Rizwan try to play it again back with a square he's gone for eight
34:07this is seriously good catch this is flowing off the bat very flat loses it momentarily then it hits
34:13the hands hard hits the hands hard navi no luck the medium quick big hands good hands on the boundary
34:22they're up for the right Alan Wilkins you said it there's plenty of them in the crowd as well full of
34:29color and now full of excitement as Rizwan goes 12 for one
34:38the best it's the best audience the best crowd we've had they are living the game but this ICC men's
34:47t20 world cup 2021 this a grand occasion you're queuing for hours to get in
35:03and again it's a good duel here between the off spin of navi and the left hand back
35:09park is the man we'll take a look at this romanola gurubaz how close was it that close just out brilliant work
35:20turn that round 180 degrees and have a look from both
35:24a couple of angles there was a brilliant piece of work clean pickup just missed the stumps
35:38that counts as a miss field everything is we say it often in this game this at this level every ball
35:50is an event you almost don't bow and over you've all six different deliveries
35:55and every time you get a little chance a little chance that's not a little fingertip on that arm i was a
36:06bit harsh on him then sorry dude i was he's been good he's been good already and that's one that just
36:12got the finger to a big dive he's looking for barbo for the signal he's looking for the call
36:20he's got the precision of the ball
36:23paris ralph was a little bit expensive in one of his overs particularly but they were after him
36:30it was a fantastic partnership 71 from 48. pakazaman nice to see ranking at 47.
36:38looking for that gap and he's got such and he's got the precision of a surgeon
36:51he just looks for the gaps as almost as if he watches the ball the lever onto the wood
36:57i think a shorter man might have struggled out there on that fence
37:12not convincing oh it was through the fingertips it'll be four he might have had his heart in his
37:19mouth for a second oh that's better is this that's gone a long long way
37:2914 off the air before gone 29 for one
37:33there was it was indeed in one of the hospitality boxes well done
37:41yeah brilliant just you've bowed two straight and this guy leg side
37:45yeah he's got a very strong grip as as a man on the back and wow he doesn't miss leg side too
37:53oh he tries again they ask for lbw too close to cut as they say
38:04yeah that has flown off the back don't worry about that
38:08touch timing i said we had elegance at one end there it is rubber sounds awareness of where the field is
38:20he's just too good for these medium places that is for sure far too good
38:33oh the googly goes straight past park as a man there is purchase he just needs that to catch that edge
38:43oh is that pad first is it pad first yes it is joe wilson the umpire gives it rush it strikes gold
38:57it's 100 wickets for rashid khan wickets missing you'll have to change your original decision to not
39:04john joe wilson oh hello this time this time is it yes it is umpire chris brown it's from the other end
39:12this time he says it's out wickets hitting from 25 it's 75 for two
39:19oh it's off the outside edge it was a little bit wider ask afghan will not stop this kareem janet it is
39:30won't stop this quicker and the the googly as well
39:38direct hit can go for runs as well they're going for the appeal upstairs they want this reviewed
39:43bet is grounded thank you i have a decision for the big screen
39:51oh it's found the edge and that's unlucky on rashid this will run away for four he's so quick through
40:00the air and has just turned slightly in bohabha genuine outside edge straight to the fence
40:07he hasn't caught all of this man underneath it should take it go buddy knife takes the catch
40:19it's 100 wickets in t20 international cricket for rashid khan 97 for three didn't get the early
40:30wickets that pakistan got so pakistan ahead of the game all the way through but you still need to finish off
40:37that's 50 for barba azam mr consistent the touch player
40:49count ball there that was all about the skill and movement of the betsman
40:56yeah a little shimmy a little dummy from showed malik mid wicket moves to the sweep
41:02so there's plenty of runs on the leg side if they want
41:06that was high hard handsome who says knock it round who says knock it round for one that's a
41:13lot of we know knock it into the stands for six
41:17showing malik that's why he's in this side he's a brilliant striker of spin he's been around forever
41:23wronging goes wrong gets an extra 10 from three now it's turning out to
41:32very good over for pakistan well this one should be out should be out gets there doesn't catch it
41:39goodness me nothing took a beauty earlier he's just put down a goober and he's put down the main
41:47man as well barba azam the last ball for rush it now
41:51and rush it eventually gets one in the over could have had two possibly three makes 51 but just opens the
42:07door for afghanistan 122 for four oh one hand it would have been special never easy when they're
42:19coming back at you at pace got a good piece of it though navin
42:25no that was a tough chance that really was he may have to go off here he's just calling for the physio
42:31whether he split his webbing in his hand there may be a bit of blood coming down
42:38maybe just some bruising on the joint it was nailed by showed malik
42:44always looks easier in a replay just stuck his hand out that was going at speed
42:50anything he would hope to catch the rebound more than anything just on the end of the thumb
42:54yeah the eyes followed the ball it was terrific effort they either stick or they don't
43:05but in the end of dot ball one one dot great start to the over good camaraderie between both these
43:12teams as well all night
43:13good options though i like that wasn't pace off that one that was up at 129 but
43:24the pace off into the surface give them nothing to use into that league side
43:29just thinking what the batter could do really i mean malik could try and step away and hit over mid
43:34off not easy mid off goes back for that with pace off you're going to have to absolutely belt it to that
43:40leg side malik thinking of his options when it's bowled into the surface
43:53oh nice back to back dots
43:58great variations great angle as well we highlighted his boomerah style release
44:04but the angles bringing it in leaves you no room to work with
44:10just that delay before he bowls doesn't help as well
44:20he hangs in the air
44:24very difficult to do
44:30a couple of big deliveries here so far it's been a brilliant over
44:34edge gone through the shizad now it's mullet that goes navin went wide
44:44show my could only get the edge of the bat it's brought some tears in the house
44:50face in hands prayers will they be answered
44:54afghanistan believe
45:01shot not at god for 19
45:05game off what a change
45:08didn't go slower didn't go into the pitch went wider went full
45:13and a toe end of the bat
45:15now the barbarism shot looks even worse two new batters at the crease
45:25afghanistan back in this game they fought back with the bat at this stage
45:30they're fighting back with the ball malik goes for 19 124 for five
45:35shut up can on strike last ball of what's been a brilliant over so far finishes it really well
45:43it'll be a run out could be a run out he doesn't want it
45:48or do they they'll go upstairs they'll have a look confusion everywhere
45:54i think asif ali was doing as we suggested just stay at that end
45:59inside and wait for the shorter boundary he was not interested in the run at all
46:06you stay that end shut i believe the next over to me
46:17bet around them batting you have a decision for the big screen
46:24so an easy decision there for the third umpire not out
46:28and you can understand why asif ali did that
46:32remember hassan ali at this stage bowled and he just got dispatched into the shorter boundary
46:39and that's what asif ali's trying to do
46:43field is set for outside off stump bowling the field is set to protect that short boundary leg side
46:50full wide outside off the plan
46:58and see third up but there's a deep backward point and a deep extra cover and a long off
47:12long off has just been moved ness he's on the movie you can see him at the bottom of your screen
47:16going over to long on
47:21don't mind a long on
47:25and long off's going back again now so all the men inside the circle three of them behind square
47:30there's high goes hard goes handsome over long off into the grandstand for six that's why
47:37he wanted strike yeah smart little cookie asif ali really smart batting okay it wasn't leg side
47:45but he said to shut up you ain't having it i'm having it give me this over i'm your finisher
47:52he did it against new zealand way back in his crease
47:56long off was there picking the ball out the stands
48:06sets himself a great base doesn't he yes he takes that big back step gets deep in the crease
48:12but then the base is set and it's handed to him on a plate half volley great start to the 19th
48:26and i've been just bowled a brilliant over variations gut feel not predictable the batters
48:35just did not know what was coming in such a pressurized situation navin got it spot on
48:45yorka right this time
48:49those two balls sum up why the yorka may have gone out the game
48:54you get it right and it's still a very useful delivery you get it a fraction wrong
48:59and it goes out the ground and that's why sides have gone to bowling it short
49:04got a bit more margin for error they hit the full ball so well
49:08this time leg side short boundary and six more which short dead and paid the price
49:22well we put the graphic up he likes hitting sixes and he's hit two
49:36in the first three deliveries of this crucial over as he did against new zealand he's swinging it back
49:42pakistan's way
49:47the range of emotions tears a minute ago now they're celebrating
49:56well it was 12 and over required he's got 12 off the first three
49:59he'd like to get a lot more because the skill of navin was well and truly on show in the last over
50:09don't want to leave too much to do
50:11another yorker well another six will be on the way in a minute
50:19there is a pattern here six dot six dot
50:22back speed launch speed 135k distance long enough that is for certain
50:36right can he nail another yorker can he do two on the bounce is he going to change it
50:40no no no he can't told you six was coming this
50:49put it over six dot six dot six
50:54if any old timer asks you why don't they bowl yorkers anymore because if you get it slightly wrong
51:01it disappears out of the ground you only have to be a fraction out batters go deep in their crease
51:07and they belted
51:16this is the sort of thing though that you need at the back end of an innings
51:20any team needs in asifali few teams have them he's placed six deliveries got 19 three sixes
51:29just turns the game wins you games these little 19 off 6 24 8
51:35that's what gives you 140 to 160 70 and wins you games time and time again
51:43goes again over the offside gets plenty of that four sixes in the over for asifali
51:50and that is it for pakistan 24 required 24 delivered pakistan go three from three
51:58three and win by five tickets what an exhibition of striking from asifali two games running now
52:08leave it to me lads baba you're done leave it to me seven balls 25
52:17that is remarkable hitting it really is clean hitting
52:27and as simon dole said they're worth their waiting goal
52:31someone who can come in and finish and he has finished
52:34wow 25 off seven there was trouble there was trouble all the way after that over from navin alhaq
52:47and asifali has done exactly what he's been selected for brought into the side
52:54as the finisher and finish it he has
53:04incredible how the game has changed you can be a hero for seven balls
53:08in 40 overs of cricket you can be a hero and will probably be the man of the match for seven balls
53:16that's all it takes
53:19you do it once you do it again two games running
53:23watch out everyone pakistan have a finisher afghanistan fought their heart out there
53:31they gave it absolutely everything
53:35fought back with the bat fought back with the ball but in the end asifali saw him off
53:42well what a spectacle the crowd have enjoyed too brilliant crowd in here tonight at dubai international stadium

54:02so much good spirit between both these sides been played in terrific spirits actually all night

54:44pakistan over the line no barber as ever mr consistent 51 30 for fakha zaman he played well 19

54:56after the bat of asset valley 25 in those seven deliveries

55:35they won the toss 147 for six on the back of that brilliant partnership at the back end of the
