00:00Hello and welcome to EN Cup Afghanistan West Indies
00:29T20i series 2026 powered by Superkola where early on Samuel Badri was there
00:36with the two skippers after 10 tosses Rashid Khan won the toss he decided to
00:44bowl first and this is how the two teams look a couple changes three changes
00:49actually for the West Indies for tonight Springer, Carty and Graves in no
00:53Anthony's, no Lewis and no Shamar Joseph's were given
01:07well firstly I want to commend Rashid Khan in Afghanistan on winning the toss and
01:12choosing to feel for this at this time around
01:21yeah well straightaway start with the intent wanted to hit it somewhere else but
01:26who cares it goes all the way up to the boundary West Indies get their first
01:31just like that wonderfully connected by Brandon King he's so elegant
01:43aesthetically pleasing the first of the innings
01:47yeah absolutely Brandon King blasts through
01:51yeah that's a belligerent Johnson Charles isn't it and that's the area that
02:05really favors another maximum for the West Indies
02:10cracks open hits his first and there's always that hunger for runs if you haven't got him and Johnson Charles boy he can hit it hard
02:2089 meter six change in bowling Saeedullah introduced
02:25yeah knocks him over
02:27make it straight away
02:29coming in the side and making impression
02:33to the Afghani spinners
02:37and this again that in 17 he goes for it's 27 for one
02:45down the track
02:46down the track that's a gorgeous stroke you want see better stroke than this
02:49from King
02:50you are going to hit through the line
02:53you get right to the pitch and he does that
02:56knocks it down ground
03:02that's gone for four great timing
03:04two boundaries and rickett coming from the over
03:07five over
03:08five over is gone 40 for one
03:19pulls majestically for six
03:22pure timing from King
03:26he's got himself in again
03:28picks this up really early again
03:30he gets himself set
03:32and the one hand comes off it but
03:34the damage had already been done
03:36way in front of square
03:39Ameer Haji Jada the hospital
03:42the medical partner for the ACB
03:44where you can seek treatment
03:46drives gorgeously
03:49beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stroke for four
03:53not in great control and taken
04:03Zia makes absolutely no mistake and Abdullah is amongst the wickets too
04:08yeah this is what I'm talking about
04:11I'm talking about that assembly line of fast bowlers coming through
04:14Abdullah now without wickets
04:16his fellow fast bowler had a little bit of a tense moment there but held on
04:22Kasi
04:24Kati rather
04:25one for ten
04:27sixty two for two
04:29they're going to run hard now
04:34again they're going to look for two
04:36and yes they're going to go
04:37it could be tight
04:38getting safe
04:41that's better running
04:42I like that
04:43I like the way that they looked like they wanted to from the moment
04:47he's been searching the site for his ability to bowl yorkus in the death hovers
04:54in the air
04:56it's caught
04:59that was a poor shot
05:04he's positioned quite early but he hit that straight up
05:08I think he probably wanted that to leave a little bit square in the end
05:19swung to the onside
05:21that's a powerful stroke
05:23that's humongous
05:24hit from Hickmeyer
05:26well I think that's taken the breath from everyone's stomach
05:33that is an absolute crunch did you hear that
05:37straight off the middle of that bat we were just praising Mohamed Nabi on the length and the pace that he was bowling
05:43it was the first one
05:44it was the first one
05:47this one is hit out
05:49high out there
05:50is it going to reach the boundary
05:51no it's not
05:52he was going for his 50
05:54he's been absolutely fantastic
05:59as always today
06:01the length was critical
06:02not quite getting underneath the ball
06:04just lobbing it to the field coming in from the boundary
06:07just stationed himself
06:08was aware
06:10where the boundary was located
06:12and taking a fine catch
06:18a lot of expectation
06:19half century in the previous match
06:21half century
06:22denied today out for 47
06:24one or two for four
06:29two out on the outside
06:30and he's bowled him
06:33he has the last laugh
06:35and how many times have we seen that
06:37slightly quicker through the air
06:43oh
06:44missing the line comprehensively
06:48he's out for 13
06:49103 for 5
06:52now Kulbatin with his slower deliveries
06:57very good area
06:58very good area
06:59the score runs
07:00fine inside the circle
07:02peppering that area brilliantly
07:04you know what it shows is a very good technique
07:07when you know the ball is short
07:08then the ball is slow
07:09the last three overs
07:12at least 40
07:13that'll help
07:15wonderfully steered away
07:17and the idea was not to hit it hard at all
07:20just guiding it in the gap
07:21yeah
07:22and to break down the 40
07:24you need to hit a few big shots
07:27I like the way they actually break it down
07:31like these
07:32you hit boundaries
07:33you hit a couple of sixes
07:34next thing you've got yourself 40 plus runs
07:36because the way West Indies
07:37have gone about scoring runs
07:39there have been
07:41there have been times when they have hit good boundaries
07:43but
07:44just like that
07:47just like that
07:48just like that
07:49take it
07:51maximum
07:53shpagiza
07:56when he hits it
07:57it stays hit
08:04now Ian it's Lat Afghanistan
08:06we just saw that signing ceremony
08:09another catch taken
08:11Zia Rahman Sharifi
08:12gets his first
08:14and Samson
08:15wanted to heave this towards the next side
08:17doesn't get the distance
08:19this was a slower delivery
08:20but well connected
08:24he's picked the field around the
08:26Atal this time
08:28yeah he's got to walk back for just three today
08:29one two two for six
08:35and straight away he doesn't have a choice
08:37he goes about it and he hits a boundary first ball
08:39every first ball
08:46the idea was to once again ball
08:48where he cannot get underneath this one
08:50he steered it to perfection
08:52Springer
09:00now has he got the distance
09:01the distance
09:02I bet he has
09:03indeed
09:04ford into the act
09:10sends this off
09:11for another maximum
09:20trying to play a cheeky shot
09:22that's high in the air
09:23and a good catch taken by Gulbadeen Naib
09:25not easy
09:27but he holds on to it comfortably
09:34still went after it forward
09:36got it from the face of the bat
09:37yes but Gulbadeen over the shoulder
09:39difficult to take
09:40but he's practiced every kind of catching
09:42and Afghanistan continue to gain points
09:45with their catching
09:51150 up for the West Indies
09:53add one more to it
09:57so 151 the West Indies
10:00the highest that they've managed
10:02with the bat in hand
10:03in the entire series
10:04will that be enough on the given day
10:07Fidai?
10:10so 152 required for Afghanistan
10:13can they make it a clean sweep
10:15or will the West Indies
10:17come back and get that much needed win
10:19on the tour?
10:20we'll find out
10:21not too far from now
10:22the reply of Afghanistan waiting
10:24here a slip in place
10:26umpire says play
10:30oh there's a large shot
10:31and swing there early on
10:34so a little bit of movement
10:36early from
10:38a big quick being entrusted with
10:39the new ball
10:47yeah this is what balls
10:49and he straightens it up
10:51and finds the outside half
10:52from Ibrahim Zadran
10:57that ever present straight bat
10:59of Zadran serving him well
11:00in the previous two matches
11:01and he gets a little bit lucky there
11:03now this is what I was alluding to

11:10oh it's majestic
11:12it's majestic Zadran
11:15ever present through that offside
11:17and that'll trickle away
11:19for another boundary
11:23and that's better again
11:25it's driven beautifully by Gerbaz this time
11:27if it's not off
11:30Ibrahim Zadran's bat
11:31it comes from Gerbaz
11:35another over pitch delivery
11:37from Matthew Ford

11:49just eases that over extra cover
11:53it's good batting again
11:59there we go down the ground
12:02and we've seen that many times
12:04from Gerbaz
12:06really showing his intent early

12:23that is a first six
12:26for Gerbaz this evening
12:28and there's a smile from him as well
