Match Ended   
59 (19.2/50)
201 (47.1/50)
Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 142 runs
That is it from this game. We might have not seen runs but classic bowling performances from both teams. A good start to the series by Pakistan. The second match is on the 24th of this month at 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT). Join us early for the coverage. Cheers!
Babar Azam says they were looking for a score around 250 but they were not up to the mark with the bat. Reckons it was still a good total with the quality bowling they have, they were looking for early wickets. Mentions Afridi and Shah started well and then Haris Rauf changed the game completely. States he learns from his mistake and tries his best in every game to score.
Hashmatullah Shahidi says it was a chaseable score but Pakistan bowled really well. Adds their shot-selection wasn't good which gave the opposition to get in the game. Reckons he is happy with the bowling performance and it is a positive thing from this game. States they have to be smart with the bat in the next game.
Haris Rauf is the Player of the Match. He says he is feeling good with the win. Adds it was a low scoring game but as a team, they have the belief to defend the score. Shares the wicket demanding some hard-length delivery and he got the wickets. Reckons Afridi and Shah started really well which gave him the confidence.
...Presentation next...
Pakistan opted to bat first on this sluggish wicket. They wanted to test themselves and in the process, lost flurry many wickets. Imam-ul-Haq played well to hold the innings from one end and in the fag end got able support from Shadab Khan to push Pakistan just over 200. Afghanistan bowled really well, their fielding was okayish but were very confident to chase it down. However, it turned to be more than enough for Pakistan as Afghanistan were bowled out with more than 30 overs to spare.
At the innings break, the Afghan players were pumped with their bowling performance. They kept Pakistan to a par total and were gearing up to chase this total comfortably, however, they were facing the trio of Afridi, Naseem Shah and Rauf who took 8 wickets together. Afghanistan lost half of their side inside the 14th over. And within the next 5 overs, they were all out. A very disappointing show from Afghanistan as no one showed up for the chase.
An absolutely magical performance from Pakistan. Afghanistan have been handed their second lowest score. One thing is for sure, even if the pitch might support the spinners, these Pakistani pacers with their consistent will make the day hard for any batting line-up. Haris Rauf is the star today. Started with a wicket on his first delivery, followed it by two maidens and eventually takes the ball home as he ends with a five-fer.
Azmatullah Omarzai has not recovered from the injury suffered and won't be able to participate any more with the bat. As it stands, Azmatullah Omarzai is retired out.

Gurbaz pulls out very late and Alikhil makes his way back. However, the fielder underarms but fails to hit the target. The run out is still taken upstairs. Mohammad Rizwan meanwhile flies and tries to palm the ball on the stumps. The replay shows it was very close but Mohammad Rizwan didn't gather the ball lately. Drama all over.

Shaheen Afridi To Hashmatullah Shahidi
DOT BALL! On a length and around off. Hashmatullah Shahidi taps it to point.
The skipper, Hashmatullah Shahidi comes out at the crease now. He was exceptional with his bowling changes earlier, and now it is certainly time for a captain's knock. He walks out to face the Hat-Trick delivery as well.

Shaheen Afridi To Rahmat Shah OUT!
OUT! GONE! Another soft dismissal. What have you done Shah? He will be kicking himself right now. A low full toss on middle and leg. Shah flicks but straight in the hands of Agha Salman at mid-wicket who takes it to his right. Afghanistan putting themselves under pressure here. Shaheen Afridi is on a Hat-trick.
Who comes out to bat now? It is Rahmat Shah who walks out at number 3.

Shaheen Afridi To Ibrahim Zadran OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! A nothing shot really from Ibrahim Zadran and he has to go. Shaheen Afridi bowls it short and on leg. Zadran tries to pull but is hurried and gets a thick top edge which just lobs over and lands in the hands of Salman at square leg. A sitter for him. Afridi gets the first breakthrough.
