Afghanistan vs Pakistan Full Scorecard

OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man in the deep and Mohammad Nabi cannot believe it! Sufiyan Muqeem tosses the ball up, full and outside off, inviting the big shot. Nabi stays put and just chips the ball with minimal followthrough. The timing is sweet but the elevation just isn't there. The ball flies down to long off where Faheem Ashraf takes a well-judged catch just inside the ropes. Nabi departs for 3 (6) and Afghanistan are going down in a hurry here.

Floated up, very full and around off, this is jammed out towards cover.

Tossed up at the stumps, not all that full and Mujeeb Ur Rahman flicks it uppishly to mid-wicket.

Flatter, outside off, Mujeeb Ur Rahman looks to drive it but gets an inside edge onto his pads. The ball goes towards the right of the keeper. Dot.

Short, just outside off, Mujeeb Ur Rahman rocks back and punches it through covers for one.

A high full toss, Rashid Khan stays in his crease and tucks it towards mid-wicket for one. Singles won't bother Pakistan at all.

Variation in both length and pace from Shaheen! Drags the length back, taking pace off and gets it to grip and turn away off the deck. Rashid looks to have a poke but lets it through to the keeper.

SIX! CLUBBED! Shorter one, into the pitch and this one just sits up for the batter. Rashid Khan waits back well and then just lays into it, pummeling it high and in front of mid-wicket for a biggie. The 100 is up for Afghanistan now.

Wide! Oh, a no-look shot attempted by Rashid here. Quicker one, on a length and sliding down the leg side. Rashid swings and misses.

Back of a length and outside off, Rashid Khan throws his hands at it but fails to make a connection.

A full toss, outside off, Rashid Khan gets low and steers it over backward point. The ball bounces in front of the fielder and turns a bit, but the fielder does well to stop it to his right. The batters collect a single.

A yorker, right into the blockhole, Mujeeb Ur Rahman hangs back and digs it towards the bowler.

On a length, outside off, Mujeeb Ur Rahman punches it gently towards deep backward point for a single.

 Lobbed up, full and on the pads, clipped away through square leg for a single by Mujeeb.

Tossed up, full and outside off, Rashid hangs back and flat-bats it down to long off for just one more.

Darted in full and straight, Mujeeb Ur Rahman stays deep in the crease and firmly jams it down to long off for another single.

SIX! That has gone all the way! Much fuller from Sufiyan Muqeem, on off, Rashid Khan gets low and clatters it over long on for a biggie.

FOUR! That's a good shot again! Sufiyan Muqeem follows Rashid Khan down leg, Rashid Khan goes to his left and punches it in the gap through covers for a boundary.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman has just made in! Short, on off, with a hint of turn. Rashid Khan steers itt o backawrd point and calls for a quick single. The fielder makes a direct hit at the batters end. The umpire checks, and it shows that Mujeeb Ur Rahman had just made it in. 

SIX! Wow, swung away without a fuss! A length ball, sliding into the batter, Rashid Khan gets low and gets inside the line, picking it up and over deep backward square leg for a biggie.

SIX! Rashid Khan is playing a blinder here! Rauf looks to go full and wide but Rashid has the answer to it. He gets down on one knee, reaches out and opens the bat face to slice it over the deep third fence for another six.

Wide! Slower one, a bit short and well outside off, left alone by Rashid for a wide.

Swing and a miss! Pace on from Rauf, bowled a bit full and well outside off. Rashid goes hard at it but fails to make a connection and doesn't get the wide call either.

SIX! This is magical stuff from Rashid Khan! Much fuller, outside off, Rashid Khan swings hard and sends the ball over deep backward point for a biggie.  

A bouncer, on leg, Rashid Khan ducks underneath it. 

OUT! CAUGHT! Haris Rauf has the last laugh! Slower ball does the trick here. On a length, outside off, and slower too. Rashid Khan winds up for a big slog sweep, but is early with the swing of his bat. The ball arrives late to take the toe end of his willow. Hasan Nawaz settles near the fence at deep sqaure leg and takes a good catch to his left.

OUT! TIMBER! Bullseye from Shaheen Afridi and he picks up his second wicket of the game. Comes from around the wicket and hones in at the stumps. This is a bit fuller and slower too, angling back in. Mujeeb Ur Rahman backs away and exposes the stumps but fails to get bat on ball and sees the stumps behind him get shattered. Pakistan are just one wicket away from victory now.

A sharp bumper now, angling in at the batter. Fazalhaq Farooqi goes after it but is hurried and misses it completely.

Another bouncer, this is aimed right around the batter's helmet. Fazalhaq Farooqi backs away past leg and manages to duck underneath the ball.

Yet another short ball, on leg, Fazalhaq Farooqi ducks under it again.

A full toss, outside off, Fazalhaq Farooqi looks to loft it but mistimes his stroke. The ball goes in the air over covers. The fielder runs behind and tries to take the catch but just manages to get his fingertips to it. The batters collect a single.

Too full, outside off, Fareed Ahmad looks to block it but edges it to deep third for a single.

Banged in short and wide from around the wicket, Fareed Ahmad looks to hammer it over covers but misses.

That's flown off the deck! Haris Rauf bangs it in on a shorter length around off, gets the ball to angle back with extra lift. Fareed Ahmad looks to pull but is well beaten.

And again! It seems like Pakistan want to bounce Afghanistan out rather than bowl them out. Another quick short ball, right at the batter and this one gets extra lift off the deck as well. Fareed Ahmad backs away to pull but fails to lay a bat on it.

Goes fuller this time, outside off, Fareed Ahmad moves away too early to his right. He tries to slap it but misses.

OUT! CAUGHT! Slower ball does the trick again for Haris Rauf! On a length, just outside off, Fareed Ahmad tries to loft it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. It carries towards mid-wicket. Saim Ayub moves to his left and completes the catch. Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 39 runs!
