00:00Hello and welcome to Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
00:27Inverick Solar Energy presents Pankal Fala Tri-Nation Series 2025.
00:33Today it's UAE versus Afghanistan.
00:39We had the toss earlier and it was UAE who won the toss and they elected to field first.
00:51Afghanistan, we have a solid batting line-up.
00:55Urbaz, Ibrahim and Sadiqullah, Rasooli, Kareem Jannat gets another game.
01:01Umar Zainabhi, Rashid, Majeeb and Farooqi.
01:07There's one change with Farid Ahmed missing out, Sharifuddin into the side.
01:13Elite batter is Mohamad Vaseem, Zoe Baasif who batted beautifully against Pakistan, Rahul D'Souza.
01:23Got to focus on the batting.
01:25Harshid makes his debut.
01:27Dharov Sager Haider.
01:29Rohit comes in to the side and Junaid.
01:32They'll have first look.
01:35All in readiness now.
01:36It is the first delivery.
01:38Gurbaz on strike.
01:44Slide.
01:45That's not what UAE want.
01:47They don't want to give these unforced errors.
01:50You want to be on the money straight away.
01:52Backs away, hits it down the ground.
01:57Lovely shot.
01:58He just hit it from where it came from.
02:05Gets one this time.
02:06Not in the way he intended to but the edge flies away.
02:11First boundary of the innings.
02:13Rohit again with the outside edge this time found.
02:22The outside edge, Rohit back of a length and the edge carries to the keeper.
02:27Big wicket.
02:28And Gurbaz, his tentative stay in the centre has come to an end.
02:36Rohit has been rewarded for his consistency.
02:41As Gurbaz walks back.
02:437 of 11, 16 for 1.
02:46Thinking clearer.
02:48Short into the pitch and that is an area of strength for Ibrahim Zadran.
02:54A classy shot through the offside.
02:57And that has gone to the fence.
03:00Really liking this.
03:01The pitch is an excellent one to play such shots.
03:05That's gone all the way for a great six.
03:07A flick on the pads worked away very nicely.
03:11Take few chances for the second time in this game.
03:16The ball has flew in that particular area.
03:21Completely overpowering scoring rare.
03:25That's gone and hit the fence in no time.
03:27A little bit of width.
03:28He wants that.
03:29Played a lovely shot.
03:30So we've seen the ball to fly over square leg for a six.
03:32And then this punishing cut shot for four.
03:34Yeah, clubbed absolutely nailed it for a grand six.
03:43Synchronized the movement so well.
03:46The left-hander didn't rush himself into hitting a big shot this time.
03:49It was all very, very calm when he met the ball.
03:53Once again, that's airlifted.
03:57Chance not to be.
03:58It's a six.
03:59Once again, that straight bat coming down so nicely.
04:05Once again, well-timed.
04:08This time there's a bit of a chase.
04:10But all in vain as this one goes to the boundary as well.
04:13So Sadiqullah is getting better by the ball.
04:16And this is, I believe, his first 50 in international career for Afghanistan.
04:22Come in straight away and get going.
04:24Well, there is a big one.
04:27And surely big enough for another six.
04:30This time it's Ibrahim.
04:31You called for it.
04:33You asked for them to launch.
04:34And Ibrahim Zadran shows the class he has.
04:39Another one.
04:40It's huge this time.
04:42And the length is getting longer.
04:44It's bigger.
04:45But the runs are only six.
04:47But good for the confidence of Ibrahim.
04:49Not to be Sadiqullah Atal.
04:50Once again, he's been undone by change in pace.
04:51The slower one.
04:52And this surely is something that he needs to work at.
05:04Three consecutive balls.
05:05He was beaten by Harish Raouf.
05:06The brilliance in the batting by the Afghan batters.
05:09It's also some brilliance that it needed for the UAE to provide the breakthrough.
05:13And Sagar says, I have got that.
05:15The slow balls have been the way to go.
05:17And that tells you about their preparation for the game against Sadiqullah Atal.
05:2154.
05:22Maiden half century in the T20 ice for him.
05:24100 foot to Afghanistan.
05:26Wow.
05:27What a start.
05:28So pictures.
05:29So balanced.
05:30Full face of the bat.
05:32And he announces his presence on the crease.
05:34That's a good start.
05:38This time there's a chance towards mid-off.
05:40And he accepts it.
05:41Easy one.
05:42Another wicket goes down.
05:44It's Darvesh Rasooli this time.
05:46Conkers with your point.
05:48It's not easy for the new batter to straight away get his timing right.
05:50Darvesh Rasooli didn't get it.
05:51And we saw in the last over two.
05:53A couple of edges.
05:54Haydar really wasn't lucky enough.
05:55But this time around.
05:56Didn't get the timing at all on it.
05:58Into his third over.
05:59And already got the second wicket.
06:01Darvesh Rasooli making ten.
06:02Afghanistan 120 for three.
06:08This is beautifully struck.
06:09And not a fielder moved.
06:11The ball in no time crosses the boundary rope.
06:14Another boundary to Ibrahim.
06:15He moves to 46 with this boundary.
06:20That's done really well.
06:22Stand and deliver.
06:23And that'll be the 50.
06:25For Ibrahim Zadhran.
06:28A change of position really worked for Ibrahim Zadhran.
06:31He opened the innings against Pakistan.
06:34Failed.
06:35But this time around came good.
06:37At number three.
06:38Oh that is smacked.
06:39And smacked gorgeously.
06:40Straight out of the fence for a maximum.
06:41You drop him.
06:42Oh he's gone.
06:43And gone so big.
06:44He'll have to find a new ball.
06:45Through the roofs of Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
06:46Runs are coming in half a dozens.
06:47This time full are closer to stumps.
06:48Aerial and a maximum.
06:49Became too predictable.
06:50With the field placing.
06:51And also what he was trying to do in this over.
06:54All right I'm gone.
07:07Finally.
07:08him became too predictable with the field placing and also what he was trying to do
07:15in this over all right and gone finally Sigeer Khan gets a man was he lucky or
07:26what but one thing for sure UA wouldn't mind it to bring that confidence back to
07:33be able to compete well in international cricket Ibrahim Zadran was looking
07:38dangerous his contribution 63 and it's 160 for four yeah that's what a font he
07:49was looking from him to explode out there in the middle not to implode away from
07:58him but the ball will go even further away one bounce into the fence for runs lack
08:03of experience oh this is humongous where has it gone he's not launched the ball
08:11he's launched a rocket maximum or another one fuller straight up and it
08:20disappears what an over using his feet and that's what it's going to be just a
08:30single what a phenomenal over there by Junaid Siddiqui take a bow Junaid you've
08:34done exceptionally well to keep Afghanistan at this score 188 what look
08:40definitely like a 200 plus he's come back exceptionally strong 188 for 4 and 20
08:48especially with the fact that both these batters Jannath and Omar Zai can be
08:54explosive can be really dangerous to be able to keep them quiet especially in
08:59the last over has to be a big effort Afghanistan been asked to bat first
09:07Gurbaz look tentative to start with 7 of 11 but Sadiq what an exceptional talent
09:14there 54 of 40 Ibrahim Zadran calm composed controlled everything in one 63 of 40
09:20Rasooli 10 of 7 but Omar Zai and Jannath gave in the flurry right at the end
09:24with 11 extras 188 for 4 yeah that sixth over a really cost them big which was
09:33bold by Sadiq and from there on Afanti was able to make a strong comeback so
09:39that's what it is 189 required to win in the allocated 20 overs for UAE they've
09:44done that they've chased bigger targets will they be able to do that we'll get to
09:48know in the second innings so he's been back since his injury been for some time
09:55that had kept him away the way of honest on has been nice shot gets it past the
10:05man at point for four that's a good beginning positive intent and knowing
10:11exactly which way that ball was going to spin what sacrifices that they made to be
10:15here that's gone up in the air that's beautifully played it's flat it's the
10:19skimmer for six wonderful pickup shot oh gone he'll be very very disappointed
10:31because he wanted to shape in a way towards the lakeside leading edge and
10:35caught it cover and got a leading edge instead and straight into the save hands
10:41of Ibrahim Zatan one of the best fielders of the Afghanistan side Fasalak Faruqi
10:47good signs for him among wickets and so he has to make the long walk back after
10:52making only 7 15 for one UAE because at times players feel that they've not been
10:57treated properly that's airlifted for a straight six what great batting from
11:00was seen now how good is that stylishly played through the offside a lovely drive
11:10so you've seen the total range from him in the short spell he's very wicked to
11:19wicked and it's straightaway been welcomed with a four and that won't do
11:25justice to his skill and talent that he's got in Afghanistan the seam making room
11:32he likes making room and is playing the field so well because he's creating his
11:36own angles upish and beautifully done there he goes it's flat and it's six what a
11:44strike that is absolutely nailing them at will that has been dumped away offside
11:55this time carries all the way that is a brilliant cut shot for six once again
12:02creating his own room approach he has asserted himself inside edge that'll be his
12:10he's 50 well-earned 50 yeah it's been quality innings and innings that UAE needed
12:20and the captain once again standing up 23rd T 20 I 50 but doesn't happen so
12:33Mohammed was seen just comes down the track and bludgeoned it through mid off
12:38the boundary Rashid Khan for the reverse huge appeal and given
12:45Rashid Khan strikes yeah he's a kind of a baller who balls wicked to wicked I did it
12:57pitch did it pitch within the stumps has obliged his team by dismissing D'Souza
13:04who scored 12 it's 76 for two might be that you just spat him out no not at all
13:12that is huge that is a massive hit
13:18he's balling it slow and he's creating chances and this time around it has been
13:26taken that is a big with it yeah huge for Afghanistan goes for that sweep shot almost
13:36a pull shot but there's extra bounce the top edge and Majib accepts huge celebrations
13:44because they know this is a massive wicket we'll see him play beautifully he's out for 67 it is 90 for 3
13:54oh that's gone through the defense a big winding drive and he's been castled by the very best in the
14:04business didn't read the wrong and didn't read any spin on it actually come at the hour come at the man
14:11that's what Rashid Khan did big booming googly getting rid of Asif Khan Asif Khan gone one of three
14:20ninety one for four most of these guys are wicket takers so you look for that's a lovely drive through
14:26the offside that's going to be for everything so original about their drive so there is this room in
14:332020 where you can be an original it's gone up in the air this should be another wicket for Afghanistan
14:42easily taken at mid wicket and it's the offy who picks up a wicket Nabi he's got figures a one now for
14:51nine and went for that big he even a delivery that was coming on to his body never in control and Noor takes a
15:01very comfortable catch I should gone for four one or seven four five the last ball of Russia would be
15:08dangerous yeah oh yes absolutely spot-on well Neil has got the crystal ball absolutely ready to
15:18perfection and Rashid Khan once again bamboozling a batsman faint edge and nicely accepted behind the
15:26stumps stand-in keeper his heart takes the catch and UAE slump further five down for triple one triple one
15:36for six it sit down the ground ow is not got enough on it good catch from Azmatullah another one goes down
15:50UAE have been falling like a pack of cards since Vaseem went after that the Afghanistan spinners have taken over and
15:59they have prevailed the fielders have also responded we've seen some good catches some good stops and the pressure is on
16:08UAE who are now far from the chase absolute struggle 112 for seven one for Nabi this one
16:17is hit well extremely well pitched up and hit out of the ground it's extremely good connection this as soon
16:26as he hit the ball he knew it's going out of the park hits it down the ground but straight to the man
16:34Nabi is not gonna drop that Sharifuddin with his third and over another one falls and Sharifuddin has
16:43his third now he's ball well no problems with the front foot trying to smash one towards long off and
16:50Mohammed Nabi they're making no mistake it's 122 for eight at the rally two it's 122 for eight quality
17:01spinners that has been dumped away legside and has gone all the way he's got hold of this one all right
17:11flat six another attempted slower ball swung away legside that is hit well extremely well it's the boundary
17:25exit cross the rope once again paddles at this time successfully over the head of the short fine leg
17:32for another boundary right short ball pulled away as he hit it well enough yes he has he gets to his 50
17:42in style it's a maximum yes to his 40 20 I 50 and it's been a good knock 52 of just 35 but the bigger picture
17:56is that Afghanistan are the worthy winners they win by 38 runs after being put into bat did it the hard
18:04way was seen by it beautifully Rahul with the flourish at the end but Afghanistan too good on the day put
18:15into bat awkward little period with the new ball but Ibrahim and Sadiq they got 50s and Karim
18:23Jannath in the end with Umar Zay made sure that they got to 188 for four which was more than enough
18:30Vaseem did give them a scare 67 of 37 and then Rahul at the end got 52 of 35 but it was spinners
18:39Rashid 3 for 21 and Sharifuddin 3 for 24 that made sure that Afghanistan won by 38 runs and with that
18:50victory it means that Pakistan who won both their games sitting pretty with four points and
18:55Nguanistan on the board now they have two points and number two UAE played two loss too
19:02Nguanistan on the board now they have two points from the monitor of the
