PAK vs AFG Live Cricket Score

4.5 OUT! LEG STUMP IS FLOORED! Clever deception from the fast bowler. He attacks the stumps with a length ball and serves it at 119 kph. Hazratullah Zazai is bamboozled with the change in pace and fails to keep it out. It goes through his defense and obliterates the leg pole. Perhaps, there was some back pad also involved. Also, his bat had hit the back pad and that possibly prevented him from keeping it out. More than happy, Mohammad Hasnain is relieved with the wicket. 43/2

3.5 OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! The crowd roars and Haris Rauf is pumped up! Fast bowlers love that sight - bails flying around. Haris Rauf sticks to his line around off, on a good length at 144 clicks, Rahmanullah Gurbaz shuffles across a bit to hit it across the line but misses. The ball sneaks through and rattles the off pole. 36/1

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The set batter is gone and Afghanistan are reeling. There is no substitute for raw pace. Haris Rauf hurls it across on a shortish length around middle, at 143 kph, Ibrahim Zadran stays leg-side to this one and tries to punch it through the line but gets a thick outside edge behind. Mohammad Rizwan makes no mistake and the Afghans lose their sixth wicket. 104/6

11.2 OUT! Karim Janat holes out! Spinners had strangled the scoring rate and in an attempt to break free, Karim Janat throws his wicket away. Nawaz darts it in full, around middle at 94 kph, Karim Janat goes down low to smoke it over the leg side but it takes the toe end of his bat and balloons in the air. Fakhar Zaman, who had a tough time on the field against India, moves across to his right from long on and secures the skier safely. 78/3

14 OUT! CAUGHT! Najibullah Zadran is hunted down by Shadab Khan. The leggie has his revenge. A spinner bowls a seam-up delivery at 111 kph. It's very full and around middle, Najibullah Zadran finds it in the arc to send it out of the park but fails to hit it from the sweet spot of his bat. As a result, his shot has more height than distance and Fakhar Zaman claims yet another catch, at long on. This is a body blow to Afghanistan as Najibullah Zadran is one batter who has the ability to do all the big hitting. 91/4

14.1 OUT! DRAGS IT ON! A golden duck for Mohammad Nabi in his 100th T20I. Not a happy one for the Afghan skipper. Slightly short in length and around off, at 140 kph, Mohammad Nabi sticks back and goes on his toes to run it down to third man but all he manages is a bottom edge onto the stumps. Nabi is frustrated. Afghanistan are struggling. 50 wickets in T20s for Naseem Shah, becoming the youngest to do so, overtaking the evergreen and young Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi! 91/5

8.4 OUT! GIVEN LBW! This is a massive moment in the match. Mohammad Rizwan has taken the DRS. It's a well-disguised googly from Rashid Khan. Landing a touch short around middle and turning in. Rizwan goes on the back foot to work it around but misses and is rapped on the front pad. They appeal vociferously and this time the finger has gone up. DRS time. No bat is found on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Pakistan are under pressure with their famed top three back in the hut. 85 needed off 68 balls. Game on! 45/3

0.2 OUT! Given lbw! Babar Azam's lean patch continues as he goes for a golden duck. Weird evening for both the captains. This is a prized scalp for Fazalhaq Farooqi. He delivers it on a length around leg and gets it to skid on with the angle at 139 kph, Babar Azam is caught napping on the back foot as he attempts to work it away. He fails to do that and is pinged on the pads. The appeal is made and the umpire raises his finger. Plumb. Babar walks without even thinking about the referral. A perfect start for Afghanistan! 1/1

3.1 OUT! RUN OUT! Pakistan have got themselves into trouble here! Mujeeb Ur Rahman fires a quick delivery, full and outside off, Fakhar Zaman taps the ball towards cover with soft hands and takes off for a single. Najibullah Zadran is quick on the ball as he lifts it and takes aim at the non-striker's end. Gets a direct hit and they go upstairs to check. Replays show that Fakhar Zaman is short and Pakistan have lost their second wicket. 18/2

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Afghanistan continue to fight and this is an important breakthrough as the partnership was taking the game away. Fareed Ahmad steams in from 'round the wicket and serves a short delivery outside off. It's on the slower side and Iftikhar Ahmed has to generate all the power behind his attempted pull shot. He fails to do so and is caught at deep mid-wicket by Ibrahim Zadran. 43 needed off 27 balls and this game is still wide open. 87/4

16.2 OUT! CAUGHT! 33 needed off 22 balls and Rashid Khan is keeping his team in the game. Despite going for a biggie, Rashid shows the courage to flight this time. It's full and outside off, turning away, Shadab Khan attempts to heave but only manages a top edge towards backward square leg. Two fielders converge but Azmatullah Omarzai is the one taking the catch over his head. 97/5

17.1 OUT! LBW! Mohammad Nawaz is given out and he decides to review the decision. This is some smart thinking from Fazalhaq Farooqi. He takes the pace off and serves a cutter on a length around off. Mohammad Nawaz stays rooted to the crease and attempts to heave it over the leg side but misses. He is thudded on the back pad, they appeal and the umpire agrees. DRS time! UltraEdge detects nothing and the Ball Tracking confirms everything is in line. Nawaz is already walking and this game takes another twist. 25 needed off 17 balls. 105/6

18.5 OUT! ASIF ALI IS GONE! This is a body blow to Pakistan. Fareed Ahmad goes short this time and takes the pace off it. It's 114 kph around off and rising onto the batter who shapes up to pull. But it takes the top edge and Karim Janat takes a safe catch over his head at short fine leg. 12 needed off 7 balls with only one wicket in hand. 118/9

18 OUT! CHOPS IT ON! What an over this has been for Afghanistan! Fuller in length and outside off, at 137 kph, Khushdil Shah tries to drive away from his body but it takes the inner edge and destroys the stumps behind. Fazalhaq Farooqi is charged up, and Afghanistan are still believing. 21 needed off 12 balls. 109/7

18.2 OUT! Another batter has dragged it on! What is going on? These are unbelievable scenes. Slightly short in length and outside off, at 139 kph, Haris Rauf goes for a big shot as he swings his bat but it takes the inside edge and cannons onto the stumps. Afghanistan are roaring and somewhere the Indian fans will also be making a lot of noise. 20 needed off 10 balls. 110/8
