00:01Wow this is just brilliant ready steady go in Afghanistan sounded different but
00:06I tell you what Freya Sayer has some points to prove but he started on the
00:13right note winning the toss in the match referee team we've got Dean Koska
00:25you're talking about the bowling 10 overs
00:31once that just keeps ship on course
00:44is the first ball of this very iconic series
00:50starts on with wide very rarely see boomerang boarding a ball like this because he's on the
00:58money from ball number one taken guided to slip the umpires will check for sure but this is a
01:12great delivery from boomerang rising on a length and instinctively just guided to slip low catch so
01:20this might get a little
01:50yeah
01:51Yeah, it's a clearly take the case my decision for big screen
02:10As if they're playing test cricket look at this
02:13Yes, the earlier two deliveries where the ball had kept a little bit
02:16Then he bangs this one in short and gets the ball to climb up and it's a very good catch
02:21For a tall guy. He's almost six feet tall
02:25Mishak Sharma to bend down low
02:30Lovely shot good cricket mind you
02:32The ball was up he's trying to get it to swing but the bat came down so beautifully
02:37Well, that's a lovely shot very very good shot trying to just put him off that lane because that's where
02:43he gets the ball to swing
02:45You can see he's gone shorter more run down the lakeside few extras today from india
02:50Oh
02:51For more runs bonus runs for afghanistan 18 for one
03:02Crossbat just whacked that
03:06When flat has it gone all the way it has
03:10This has to be one of the lowest sixes that we've seen on this ground
03:16This is a magnificent shot
03:19This is a magnificent shot look he hasn't really done anything apart from just transfer his weight
03:25And then he's played it
03:27My god, this is just maybe what 10 feet above
03:34More than the distance distance wasn't too bad as well now. This one is all about timing
03:41Afghanistan with a few shots that they've played
03:43Take your breath away that again is offline offline easy pickings for
03:59He's so good this is a run out
04:01Ishan kitchen is so good in the field
04:05Primary skill wicked keeping
04:08Second skill getting run outs like this from the deep
04:13Ball it gets rid of the ball
04:15This was played quite firmly at first. I think the skipper thought that it is going to be a boundary
04:20He wanted to come for the second. Yes, he gets a response
04:22But then the
04:28That's where it goes
04:30Just mentioned boomerah
04:33At short third in a catching position
04:36That's exactly where he's taking the catch
04:39The other two shot third
04:42He waited for quite a bit
04:47Now he just guided it as if he's giving catching practice and boomerah is not going to drop those
04:52So yes, I are coming in from the deep mid-off
04:56Big wicket big wicket again sadiq was looking good
05:05Pelton not a catch
05:08Have to backpedal
05:10And golpadeen naib is on his way suddenly afghanistan are losing their way
05:17Not been able to put together a beginnings akshar patel you called it
05:20And he enjoys bowling here in dili
05:23And just bit of a movement and that's enough
05:26To create that wrong shot and look at the catch nitish kumar ready
05:30Looks fit and that's good news for india a brilliant catch another breakthrough
05:37Cleaned him up that's what he does he's a clean-up merchant
05:41And immediately succeeds
05:43Varun Chakravarti in amongst wickets and afghanistan are really
05:48It's in that over and so plenty of much
05:51Done already and this one really didn't have the answer. No blue came in back
05:56And I dislodged the furniture
05:59Straight away among the wickets warun chakravarti and sends back
06:05In 2024 making it all the way to the semi-fine and the t20 world cup well a welcome boundary
06:12that coming after a very long break
06:16Now this is his first ball in the sitting in the tush kumar ready
06:22That has been smashed
06:25That's the kind of welcome a bowler gets in t20 cricket and just imagine
06:29Of ready was shot again, and that's got to be four ball the amount of runs that have been scored
06:35in that region
06:36Some stage will have a look at the wagon wheel and you can count the number of runs that have
06:41gone to the left and right of sanjus samson
06:50Good shot and it's going for four need a better effort from the policeman
06:59Works behind the square on the onside runs here for resmond
07:08Lucky again they've been at least three or four of those kind that have fallen
07:16That looks like a good shot that another flat six
07:22Is one that was maybe just 10 meters high this is somewhere
07:27Around that region the final push now
07:31Big hit maksha patel down the ground
07:35And it's gone for six
07:38So a great start to the final five for afghanistan and it's azmatullah omar zai who's leading the charge
07:46Yes, this is an experience fair. This is probably the last recognized batting pair
07:50And they have taken their time
07:53And now in the last few overs they try and bounced up
07:59Short and this has been dispatched
08:03In between deep mid-wicket and square leg and azmatullah omar zai has suddenly picked things up
08:10Test match it was looking good it is very good timing that
08:15Allowed the ball to come on and then swung it to square leg the earlier ones were
08:22Short and that's been dealt with
08:28It should be waiting for it and it just
08:32Played up almost like a tennis shot there it is the slower delivery
08:37What a good strike this is much needed partnership
08:43Such a dynamic format this is
08:46And that is why you are seen as a dead bowler
08:50Coming back with a terrific delivery here
08:53And gets rid of mormon nabi who's absolutely livid with himself
08:59Yes, what a fine delivery to come back
09:02After being smashed for a sixth fires in the yorker
09:07132 kilometers per hour
09:09And look at that might have gone off the head his bat might have got stuck but it was still
09:16a very very good yorker
09:23Another one add another to his kitty into the safe hands of aksha batel
09:29And rashid khan's storage stay at the wicked ends
09:34Goal at about 138 kilometers per hour
09:39You can see didn't quite get it in the middle of the bat
09:43More towards the bat manufacturer's name she wasn't able to get the distance. He only got a height another wicket
09:51For our steep
09:53Yeah, in at number nine
09:55Noor Ahmed
10:00Oh on a direct hit
10:02Easy as you like it
10:04And he's already started walking Noor Ahmed
10:08Favorable bounce
10:09But he only had one stump to aim at
10:12And such an easy throw from Shreyasaya
10:15And afghanistan have lost Noor Ahmed immediately
10:20Yes, he was deep in the crease as well so he had that extra bit of to cover
10:25And this is terrific work by the india captain
10:31Such a well-made 50
10:34When the chips were down azmatullah omarzai coming up with an invaluable knock
10:40His second half century in this format
10:44Yes, it's been a fine innings
10:47Four boundaries and two sixes in that
10:50Absolutely terrific that partnership with
10:54Muhammad Nabi has taken
10:58Full toss
11:01And that's the reason it didn't take a single
11:06Of the previous delivery it had gone too long off fielder
11:10But he decided that he's going to take this final over that's why
11:18Slower delivery going at a full toss right height as well easy
11:23Easy picking sis first but for somebody who's well set somebody who's batting well
11:27Somebody who's got a half century under his belt
11:31This was exactly the ball that he wanted
11:34The offside and that's why he's got that feel but he likes that
11:39He likes that azmat
11:41And another six through the offside this time
11:45For an all-rounder who's extremely well said
11:51Well, that's another fine shot again gold at base but outside the option gave him the room
11:56to open the face of the bat
11:59Again see that slower delivery would have been a wide
12:02But there it is
12:05Yes, these are short boundaries at the court lap
12:08What a lovely edge to get at the right moment
12:13150 up for afghanistan
12:18Passed through the outside over the head of covers and afghanistan have finished well 21 runs coming on that final
12:26over
12:28And a fine hit from moochip
12:34Yes, very very good hit that 21 of the final 156 for eight
12:58Swings into his pads and off the mark with the delicious
13:03Boundary there sanju samson
13:06This guy is just a t20 batter and there he goes
13:12He's signed off on the first one more to come
13:16A lovely shot through the offside beautiful hands flowing
13:21Eyes on the ball
13:26Great timing
13:28Yeah, this is slightly different from the big shots that abhishek normally plays this is just getting on top of
13:34the ball a little more
13:36This is not one of those you know carefree shot where you think even if you get an edge
13:42Over the head
13:44Beautifully done through the offside sanju samson it is
13:48Asma tomarsai
13:51Shot and has he picked out the fielder yes, it seems so out there in the deep
13:58And as a result
14:00Hasn't quite nailed it
14:03These are the kind of shots that he plays
14:05That ball was slightly closer to the body and with the angle maybe would have got the timing
14:16Go straight over long mid-off and over long off for a six
14:22Well, I tell you what then this department stop of the pitch
14:26The same bowler that had got sanju samson out has it taken the pace off no it's seam up
14:31So came on nicely a little bit of bounce, but this is what he's good at that swing of the
14:37bat and the commitment
14:40The earlier one was right up. This was good laying and that's a long distance. No wonder
14:49Too easy this time short and it's been pulled away for four 14 coming of that over india up 32
14:57for one
15:02Wonderfully done just a smidge of gets runs it gets it 305 innings
15:11This is a terrific shot this is four runs, but as good as
15:19He's so good there don't go shot into his head please
15:25I think that's gone to gurgao
15:28Because this is with the pace to see generally shots on the offside behind point exit cover today
15:36He's explored the lakeside reason this is sean kishin with a pickup shot so both left-handers
15:49Into his pads again and in the gap she goes 50 up for india
16:00This is a huge over this has been slapped over covers 26 coming of that over hit him for the
16:07boundaries but
16:11In the gap and will run away to the fourth back forward and then
16:16Looks to come forward and try and go over the top on the offside
16:23It's been a good over this so far and of course that's even better for the indian side is sean
16:31T20i wickets no respect no respect
16:36Place this beautifully for another boundary for four
16:41Down the ground and out of the ground
16:48Between these spectators
16:53High and handsome the count pleaser
16:57Abhishek sharma
17:00Looks to take on one of the greatest t20 bowlers
17:05Rashid khan
17:06Gets a better taste of abhishek when he's in that sort of form and look at that
17:12Down the ground and out of the park
17:15And that's it is when as a batter once you start hitting boundaries
17:18Then you don't see the ball as the cricket ball you see it as the football
17:23And so far for india
17:26And he will finish it off with the boundary
17:31Finishes off that over in style 15 from 113 for one
17:35Lou remit
17:37Now have a look at that uh my sean gishin down the ground and will pick up a four
17:42With great amount of ease
17:45Wasn't a bad delivery
17:51Big boundary on the onside
17:53But it was still
17:55Clear ahead
17:56Will abhishek with great amount of ease
17:58It was high
18:00Noor was interested for a bit but uh
18:03With that sort of power
18:05They're gonna be outside that park make no mistake about it
18:09Absolutely astonishing abhishek sharma
18:12And it's really entertained the crowd too short and for the liking of abhishek sharmain picks that he picks the
18:18link really early
18:19As you called it a 76 meter six relief at the end because the feeder was there waiting for it
18:27This of course even better
18:33And back to back sixes he wants to finish things off and rather in quick time
18:37And this time around much cleaner and no chance for the feeder at all look at that the backflow now
18:44He's really got a quick backflow and 83 meter long six
18:55Brilliant yeah that's been the word associated with him right through the evening
19:00He try and cut angles he finds a way to score
19:05Extend stroke once again making necessary adjustment
19:11Outside the leg stem but still he managed to take his front leg out of the way and swung it
19:15beautifully
19:17Short boundaries is taking full advantage here
19:23A full toss i don't think he's picked it at all but goes straight to hand
19:28Rashid khan picked it late
19:30Started running late, but he's got such a fine pair of hands
19:34A full toss does the trick and it's abhishek sharma the batter dismissed
19:41Abhishek sharma on the overdrive
19:43Fantastic take from rashid on the boundary
19:45His commitment his concentration always spot on
19:51Change in length full toss not but getting the timing
19:56Brilliant absolutely brilliant from rashid
19:59Great adjustment and maintaining his balance and control
20:05As you said every time he comes on to bowl everybody expects wickets
20:13Just a quick turnaround between the games that's been hit hard hit straight and hit for four
20:23Flex taken on the boundary make nits and take from rashid khan
20:30Is just a brilliant player period that was absolutely nailed you can see that expression from everyone it was going
20:40flat
20:40And I thought that maybe that momentum was going to take him past the boundary
20:45But not to be he held his balance he held his composure
20:50That was traveling
20:53Overhead catch maintains his balance knows where the ropes are
21:04Offer that matter limited overs devinder
21:08And a bit of clumsiness on the field
21:15India winning by seven rickets a dominating display
21:19A miserable day out for afghanistan today
21:24Yeah comfortably done india winning by seven rickets trying to
21:29Push on the accelerator performing well first of the ball to set the tone
21:36A dominating comprehensive victory for india winning by seven rickets inside 14 overs
21:43As much getting
