Pakistan vs Afghanistan, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Nawaz, out Caught by Ibrahim Zadran!! Slower ball works for Farooqi! It's an off-cutter that grips and turns sharply, Nawaz looks to slog but doesn't get enough. Well taken by Zadran in the deep at the square leg boundary. Nawaz c Ibrahim Zadran b Fazalhaq Farooqi 25(21) [6s-2]

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Nawaz, SIX, right in the slot and he launches it down the ground! Full on off, Nawaz swings hard and strikes it cleanly

AM Ghazanfar to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Gurbaz!! Edged and taken! Flat length ball outside off, Ashraf isn't sure which way it's turning, pokes at it from the crease and nicks it to Gurbaz who hangs on. Faheem Ashraf c Gurbaz b AM Ghazanfar 15(8) [4s-2 6s-1]

AM Ghazanfar to Faheem Ashraf, SIX, comes dancing down, the ball is well wide outside off, but he still manages to reach it and slaps it over deep point

Nabi to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, reverse-swept over short third! Flat length ball outside off, Ashraf is in position quickly for the premeditated shot and executes it nicely, making good contact

Rashid Khan to Faheem Ashraf, FOUR, overpitched and hammered. Expensive over from Rashid. He errs in length, lands it right in the slot for Ashraf who gets off the mark in style, smashing it straight back down the ground

Rashid Khan to Salman Agha, out Caught by AM Ghazanfar!! Rashid has the last laugh. After getting hit for a couple of sixes, he removes the Pakistan captain and gives him a stare. Pushed through flat, kicks up off a length and gets big on him as he goes for the pull. It takes the top-edge and Ghazanfar makes no mistake going back from short third. Salman Agha c AM Ghazanfar b Rashid Khan 24(27) [6s-2]

Rashid Khan to Salman Agha, SIX, not quite off the middle but will still clear the boundary! Rashid has a smile on his face. It's a googly, Salman Agha dances down, isn't to the pitch but goes through with the leg-side swipe. Seemed to get it off the bottom of his bat but goes over deep midwicket

Rashid Khan to Salman Agha, SIX, finally he cuts loose! Drifting in on leg, full ball, Salman Agha bends low and nails the sweep shot behind square to clear the ropes

Rashid Khan to Nawaz, 1 run, flat on the pads, tucked through square leg

AM Ghazanfar to Nawaz, SIX, Nawaz finally gets hold of one to break the shackles! Turning in from round the wicket, he gets down on one knee and smashes the slog-sweep over square leg. Goes flat and clears the ropes

Noor Ahmad to Mohammad Haris, out Bowled!! Misses the slog-sweep and the off stump is pegged back! Tossed up from over the wicket, Haris gets low and goes hard on the shot. Only connects thin air and Noor has another. Pakistan losing wickets in a hurry in this final. Mohammad Haris b Noor Ahmad 2(3)

Rashid Khan to Hasan Nawaz, out Caught by Darwish Rasooli!! This time it goes to hand. Third time lucky for Rashid against Nawaz. He was living dangerously, looking to take on Afghanistan's premier spinner and he perishes in doing so. Tossed up just outside off, googly, he looks to smoke it across the line over midwicket but only manages a thick leading edge that goes high in the air. Safely taken by Rasooli coming in from long-off. Hasan Nawaz c Darwish Rasooli b Rashid Khan 15(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Rashid Khan to Hasan Nawaz, SIX, was that a chance? Rashid is staring at the fielder in frustration. Dragged down short, Nawaz looks to pull, doesn't middle it but still clears deep midwicket. Fielder was standing a couple of yards inside the ropes and had to backpedal. He did that, even leaped up but it still went over him

Rashid Khan to Hasan Nawaz, FOUR, oh lovely late cut! He goes back to the googly and takes it from off stump, playing late and beating backward point to his left

Rashid Khan to Fakhar Zaman, out Lbw!! Oh that's right in front and Rashid has got rid of the dangerous Fakhar with his very first delivery to him. Fired in around middle, pitches, turns in slightly and beats the inside edge from over the wicket and it would've crashed into the stumps. Trouble for Pakistan with Ayub and Fakhar departing back to back. Fakhar Zaman lbw b Rashid Khan 27(26) [4s-2 6s-1]

Noor Ahmad to Salman Agha, 1 run, works it off the pads through midwicket

Noor Ahmad to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Chipped in the air and straight to short cover! That must've stopped on him. It's a full ball just outside off, turns away while also stopping and kicking up a touch. Ayub is committed to the push on the front foot and is probably early through the shot as a result of the ball holding in the surface. Offers a dolly to Rashid and Noor is up and running in celebration. Saim Ayub c Rashid Khan b Noor Ahmad 17(19) [4s-2]

AM Ghazanfar to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, dragged away one-handed! Tossed up outside off, Fakhar reaches out for the sweep, his top-hand comes off but he still gets it away through the gap

Nabi to Fakhar Zaman, SIX, that's on the roof! Superb use of the feet, skips down to the pitch of the ball and launches it over wide long-on

Nabi to Saim Ayub, FOUR, dragged down short and Ayub just about beats the fielder in the deep. His heart would've been in his mouth for a while as he didn't middle it. Deep midwicket ran across but it landed wide of him

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Saim Ayub, FOUR, pure timing! Fuller than a good length outside off and swinging away, far from being a half-volley, but Ayub leans into the shot and punches it beautifully through the covers

Azmatullah to Fakhar Zaman, no run, direct hit and Fakhar was gone! Overpitched outside off, driven firmly but there's a diving stop at cover. There's a big mix-up between the two batters. Fakhar came charging down for the single but Ayub hardly moved. He had to turn back from more than halfway down. Luckily for him, the fielder was on the ground and he threw off balance and it was nowhere close to the stumps

Azmatullah to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR, frees the arms! Width outside off, short of length and Fakhar slaps it over cover

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Sahibzada Farhan, out Bowled!! Slogs across the line and is castled! Farooqi leaps, roars and punches the air in delight. Good length ball shaping back in, goes past the inside edge as Farhan has a big hack across the line and crashes into the top of middle and off. Sahibzada Farhan b Fazalhaq Farooqi 0(3)
