Pakistan vs Afghanistan, 4th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Faheem Ashraf to Rashid Khan, SIX, fullish outside off, right in the slot for Rashid Khan to free his arms. Thumped over the bowler's head and Rashid gets off the mark with a maximum

Faheem Ashraf to Nabi, out Caught by Fakhar Zaman!! Length ball outside off, Nabi shuffles and loses his shape as he tries to muscle it away. No timing as it's a slower ball. Fakhar backpedals from extra cover and makes a tough catch look easy with outstretched hands. Nabi c Fakhar Zaman b Faheem Ashraf 6(5) [4s-1]

Shaheen Afridi to Karim Janat, FOUR, stylish! Full and angling in, Janat brings his wrists into play and uses the bowler's angle to his advantage by helicoptering it between long-on and deep midwicket

Shaheen Afridi to Karim Janat, leg byes, 1 run, run-out chance missed! Back of a length angling in, Janat misses the pull to get hit on the body and the dies down in front of the batter. Nabi calls for the single and Janat is a bit late to react. Afridi runs to the ball, picks it up, turns around and has a shy at the stumps. Misses the target and Janat survives. Replay shows that the ball hit the thigh pad and deflected onto the helmet grille

Faheem Ashraf to Nabi, FOUR, pace on and short outside off, Nabi hops and throws his bat at it to waft it away. One bounce and into the third man fence. The boundary brings up Afghanistan's 150

Faheem Ashraf to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by Nawaz!! Third wicket for Faheem Ashraf. Mohammad Nawaz doesn't err on this occasion. Another slower delivery outside off, Zadran fetches it from there to swing it across the line. Doesn't go full throttle and holes out. Nawaz comes in from deep midwicket to take the catch. Ibrahim Zadran c Nawaz b Faheem Ashraf 65(45) [4s-8 6s-1]

Faheem Ashraf to Azmatullah, out Caught&Bowled!! In the air and taken! Good catch off his own bowling. Fuller than a length, pace off, Omarzai clears his front leg to loft it downtown. The bat turns at the point of impact and he ends up hitting a mile up in the air. Faheem Ashraf runs back, calls for it and catches it safely even as Fakhar was converging from extra cover. Azmatullah c and b Faheem Ashraf 4(6)

Haris Rauf to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, another boundary! Ibrahim Zadran shuffles early, Rauf tries to target the leg-stump and ends up bowling a full toss onto the pads. The batter gets inside the line and flicks it fine of the short fine leg fielder. 17 runs off the over

Haris Rauf to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, edged and four! Low full toss outside off, meant to be the yorker, Zadran shuffles across to drive and gets a thick outside edge that beats the diving short third man fielder to his left

Haris Rauf to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, much-needed boundary for Afghanistan. Pacy short ball, Ibrahim Zadran doesn't see that coming. He's hurried by the pace and takes his eyes off the ball as he pulls. However, he's made very good contact and the ball speeds away to the long leg fence

Faheem Ashraf to Azmatullah, 1 run, dropped! Off-speed full delivery, Omarzai is early to swing his bat and the ball goes a lot squarer than he aims. Mohammad Nawaz comes in from deep midwicket and settles under it but fails to catch it

Faheem Ashraf to Ibrahim Zadran, 1 run, full and wide of off, driven to sweeper cover. 10th T20I fifty for Ibrahim Zadran and second in as many days

Faheem Ashraf to Sediqullah Atal, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! The 113-run stand has been broken. Slower ball on a short of length outside off, Atal looks to loft it over long-on but doesn't generate enough power behind it. Hasan Nawaz comes in from long-on and slides to hold onto the catch safely. Back-to-back half-centuries for Atal and he's set a good foundation for his team. Sediqullah Atal c Hasan Nawaz b Faheem Ashraf 64(45) [4s-3 6s-3]

Shaheen Afridi to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, width on offer, Atal hangs back for this slower ball and neatly cuts it behind square on the off-side. In the gap and the ball runs away to the fence

Sufiyan Muqeem to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, 20 runs off the over! Probably under pressure, Muqeem bowls a half-tracker and gets punished. Zadran is quick to trek back and hammer the pull right into the gap between long-on and deep midwicket

Sufiyan Muqeem to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, hundred partnership! Full and in the slot, Atal gets down low to nail the slogsweep. Dispatched over cow corner. Powerful hit from the left-hander

Sufiyan Muqeem to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, second T20I fifty for Sediqullah Atal! Fullish delivery and the left-hander reverse-sweeps it backward of square on the off-side. Premeditated but effective as he hits it into the gap

Sufiyan Muqeem to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, full outside off, probably the googly, Zadran shapes to slog across the line and gets an outside edge that goes fine of the short third man fielder. Streaky boundary

Haris Rauf to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, pitched up outside off, Atal shuffles across, gets under the ball and lofts it downtown. Pace off, picked by the batter before hoisting it over long-off. Makes it look so effortless

Faheem Ashraf to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, handsome shot. On a length and outside off, Ibrahim Zadran plays a cracking cover drive on the rise off the front foot. Authoritative stroke and the placement is spot-on

Nawaz to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, full and outside off from wide of the crease. Ibrahim Zadran gets down on one leg to sweep and somehow manages to hit it over the umpire's head. Goes straight and no one can stop that. The bottom hand came into play on that occasion. The boundary brings up the fifty partnership

Sufiyan Muqeem to Sediqullah Atal, 2 runs, shorter in length, Atal turns it to midwicket. Ayub attacks the ball but fails to pick it up cleanly and that allows the batters to come back for the second easily

Nawaz to Sediqullah Atal, SIX, shot! Loopy ball, Atal shimmies down and slightly moves leg-side, doesn't overhit and beautifully times the lofted off-drive. High elbow and he poses for the photographs

Haris Rauf to Ibrahim Zadran, SIX, even better! Shorter and hence more bounce, Ibrahim Zadran picks the length early, swivels and pulls over midwicket. Doesn't bother to keep it down and the ball has the wings to go all the way

Haris Rauf to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, short ball angling in, Zadran uses the bowler's pace and angle to pull it over midwicket. Doesn't overhit and times it well. Deep square leg runs across but can't stop the boundary

Shaheen Afridi to Sediqullah Atal, FOUR, shot! Pitched up by Afridi and Sediqullah Atal plays a lovely drive by offering the maker's name. Excellent contact and the ball goes over the non-striker

Saim Ayub to Gurbaz, out Caught by Hasan Nawaz!! Saim Ayub gets his man! Gurbaz tries to go big and holes out. It's a drag down from Ayub and Gurbaz rocks back to pull. Correct shot selection but the execution isn't right. Comes off the lower part of the bat and hence the timing goes awry. More height than distance. Hasan Nawaz at deep square leg slightly misjudges but dives forward in the end to hold onto the catch. Gurbaz c Hasan Nawaz b Saim Ayub 8(10) [6s-1]

Saim Ayub to Gurbaz, SIX, Gurbaz moves leg-side, Ayub follows him and that's been dispatched into the stands. The length is slightly on the shorter side and the right-hander muscles the pull over deep midwicket
