Naveen-ul-Haq to Shaheen Afridi, 1 run, 136.2kph, pace on, Afridi walks down the track and yorks himself in the process. Manages to get some wood
49.4
Naveen-ul-Haq to Shaheen Afridi, no run, slower ball, Shaheen Afridi is early to swing his bat. The ball moves away from him and doesn't connect
49.3
Naveen-ul-Haq to Shaheen Afridi, 2 runs, 106.8kph, round the wicket, pace and full outside off, Shaheen Afridi swipes across the line and inside-halves it to mid-wicket for a brace
Shaheen Afridi, left handed bat, comes to the crease
Manan Padia: @Rohan Absolutely, Omarzai is not at all a death bowler. Instead of giving the over to a bowler who is giving 20 runs an over in death, Mujeeb seemed a better choice specially against Iftikhar who struggles against spin.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Iftikhar Ahmed, out Caught by Azmatullah!! Holes out! Naveen-ul-Haq misses his yorker by a couple of inches, but the line is well outside off. Iftikhar Ahmed bends his back leg to reach out for it and carve it away. Decent connection but doesn't get the required elevation Iftikhar Ahmed c Azmatullah b Naveen-ul-Haq 40(27) [4s-2 6s-4]
Naveen-ul-Haq to Iftikhar Ahmed, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
49.1
Naveen-ul-Haq to Iftikhar Ahmed, no run, the line is well outside the tramline but Iftikhar Ahmed had shuffled across a long way too. Can't squeeze it out and that's rightly not been wided
58 runs off the last four overs!
48.6
Azmatullah to Shadab Khan, 2 runs, on a length and outside off, slapped to the right of extra cover where Hashmatullah dives and half-stops
48.5
Azmatullah to Shadab Khan, 2 runs, 135.8kph, very full ball, Shadab Khan can't quite get under it, drilled to the right of long-on
48.4
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, 132.9kph, short of length delivery outside off, steered to the right of short third man and Naveen-ul-Haq does well to stop that. Deflects it towards backward point and keeps the batters down to one
48.4
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, wide, length ball sprayed well outside off, Iftikhar Ahmed moves across and leaves it alone
48.4
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, wide
48.3
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, fourth six for Iftikhar Ahmed! Seam-up, full and in the slot, Iftikhar Ahmed goes back in his crease, clears his front leg, bends his back leg and tonks it over long-off
48.3
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, wide, wided for height
48.2
Azmatullah to Shadab Khan, 1 run, 138.4kph, this was actually in the slot outside off
48.1
Azmatullah to Iftikhar Ahmed, 1 run, 138.5kph, very good yorker, Iftikhar Ahmed can only dig it out towards point
The captain is having a word with Azmatullah. Third man and fine leg inside the circle
Rohan: Huge mistake by Afghanistan to bring Omarzai into attack now, he gave away 38 runs in his last 2 vs NZ at the same venue a few days back. When you decide to play with 4 spinners you have to back them to do the death bowling, expected Rashid to take this mettle as a senior leader of the group
