AFG vs UAE Live Cricket Score

3.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Muhammad Rohid is rewarded for his consistency. Afghanistan lose an early wicket. Short of a good length, slanting away from the batter with some extra bounce. Rahmanullah Gurbaz moves across and just pokes tentatively toward the ball, playing away from the body. An outside edge is found and the ball carries back to the keeper. A regulation catch for Rahul Chopra. Rahmanullah Gurbaz looked extremely scratchy and departs for a sluggish 7 (11). 16/1

12.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! CAUGHT BEHIND! Saghir Khan provides a huge wicket for the UAE and breaks the 84-run partnership for the second wicket. Not too full and not too short either, it is that in-between length-delivery, outside the off stump line, slower too. Sediqullah Atal is caught in a bit of indecision, whether to commit on the front foot or go on the back foot. Decides to play that from the crease and hangs the bat away from the body, only managing to get an outside edge. Rahul Chopra does the rest behind the stumps. Sediqullah Atal departs for a well-constructed 54 (40). Afghanistan are 100/2. 100/2

17.4 OUT! TAKEN! Something to smile about for Saghir Khan! He pitches it up, outside off, Ibrahim Zadran throws the kitchen sink at it, but loses his body shape completely. Gets a thick outside edge that flies quickly to short third. Junaid Siddique reacts well and takes a sharp reverse cup near his face. Ibrahim Zadran walks back for a fine 63 off 40, and Afghanistan are 160/4! 160/4

14.2 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Muhammad Rohid gets his second wicket and continues to impress in this outing! Hits the deck hard, does Rohid, outside off. The ball just holds up in the deck as Darwish Rasooli prepares to whack it over cover with a flat bat. Does not account for the ball arriving late and hence, mistimes it straight toward Ethan D'souza at mid off, who takes a sharp reverse-cup catch, over his head. Darwish Rasooli departs on 10 (7) and Afghanistan are 120/3. 120/3

1.5 OUT! TAKEN! Fazalhaq Farooqi draws first blood! He goes fuller this time, on middle, holds up in the surface a bit and straightens. Muhammad Zohaib looks to clip it away but closes the bat face very early. Gets a leading edge as the ball loops up towards short covers, where Ibrahim Zadran takes a dolly. Muhammad Zohaib departs for 7 off 7. He looks disappointed and cannot believe his luck. UAE are 15/1, needing 174 runs to win. 15/1

9.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A massive, massive wicket for the Afghans and they are ecstatic. Ashraf lands it on a length, sliding on the middle and leg stump line with some hold and grip off the surface. Muhammad Waseem goes deep inside the crease and shapes up to pull, but is found cramped up for space and top edges it behind towards short fine leg. Mujeeb Ur Rahman runs a few yards to his right and takes a safe catch. One can clearly read the relief on the Afghan faces. Muhammad Waseem departs on an authoritative 67 off just 37 deliveries. United Arab Emirates are 90/3, needing another 99 runs to win in 62 balls. 90/3

8.1 OUT! LBW! Rashid Khan provides the breakthrough! A needless shot from the inexperienced Ethan D'souza who was itching to get going. Rashid keeps it stump-to-stump, on a fuller length, and dishes out a wrong' un. Ethan D'souza goes for the reverse sweep and misses. Is struck on the front pad and an easy decision for the umpire as his finger goes up on a confident appeal. Ethan D'souza departs on 12 (11) and United Arab Emirates are 76/2, needing 113 runs to win. 76/2

10.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! Rashid Khan with a beauty! He dishes out a tossed-up googly, full and on off,, grips and turns in a shy bit, just enough to beat the bat. Asif Khan stays back and looks to go over covers without any footwork, but fails to read it at all. Leaves a huge gap between bat and pad as the ball goes through to rattle the off pole. The top scorer for UAE in the last game, goes back cheaply. From 90/2, UAE have slipped down to 91/4. 91/4

13.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Nabi strikes! Harshit Kaushik's struggle at the middle comes to an end now, not the greatest of debuts for him. Nabi sees the batter back away and slows it up, drags his length back too, on middle. Harshit Kaushik still goes through the big heave across the line, but fails to get any power on the shot or the timing. It flies straight towards deep mid-wicket, where Noor Ahmad (Sub) settles under it and pounces it safely. United Arab Emirates are 107/5, still needing 82 off 37 balls! 107/5

15 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Nelson strikes for Afghanistan, and Rashid Khan has three now. He flights it up, full and on off, turns away a shy bit, Dhruv Parashar steps forward and looks to slog it over wicket but get gets a thin outside edge behind, where Mohammad Ishaq (Sub), takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. UAE six down now. 111/6

15.3 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! The innings for UAE has massively nosedived! Full and just outside off. Saghir Khan stays leg side of the ball and tries to smash it behind the long off fence, but fails to get the timing right and does not get the distance as the ball is struck off the toe end. Goes flat towards Azmatullah Omarzai stationed at long off. He takes a simple catch moving a bit to his left. A two-ball duck for Saghir Khan as United Arab Emirates further slip down from 90/2 to 112/7. 112/7

17.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Ashraf gets his third wicket. From the around-the-wicket angle, Ashraf lands it full and around off. Haider Ali gets on the front foot and attempts to sail this over long off, but neither he gets it off the middle nor gets the distance. Sails it straight down the throat of Mohammad Nabi at long off. United Arab Emirates are 122/8 down now as Haider departs for 2 (5). 122/8
