[asif9138]

got ball

 

[Mohsin]

lol feel sorry for Najeeb

 

[zulfiqar]

Zadran 250 strike rate

 

[Square Drive]

All up to Naib now as Najib is struggling with his hamstring.

 

[Ambi]

indian players showing their fielding skill

 

[MRSN]

this batsman just can't bat

 

[Mohsin]

looks out

 

[paulkatich]

Every afghan player pulled a muscle or two. Need to work on fitness.

 

[zulfiqar]

I love how the first T20 international ball he faced he smashed Balaji for four

 

[Mohsin]

Its OUT, stop wasting our time!

 

[asif9138]

not out

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

That's gonna be confusing run out

 

[Square Drive]

Afghans all but lost this.

 

[asif9138]

i think its out

 

[Asif321]

Afghanistan played really well .. had they taken the catches they would have been on winning side ..

 

[khanz141]

Who is this commentator with Nasir hussain, he is annoying as hell this whole time

 

[asif9138]

yep out

 

[zulfiqar]

Every afghan player pulled a muscle or two. Need to work on fitness.

It could be the fitness or they could be really tensed up because of the anxiety! I don't think they lack fitness to be honest! They just need to relax more.. although I'd bet half the reason they're performing as well as they are is due to the high catecholamines in their blood Stress response: fight!

 

[asif9138]

good for afgan ...he is not feeling good

 

[Square Drive]

35 off 14 now. Doable, but unlikely. Had Nabi been there, the Afghans would've had a strong chance.

 

[MRSN]

Free-hit goes to waste. Now it's surely all over.

 

[asif9138]

[x-man]

Single only

[QUOTE="No matter who wins, Afganistan is the winner to me. They have fought their hearts out and played like the fearless pathans! India will have to think seriously about the rest of the matches. The competition only gets tougher from here." /QUOTE]

From cricinfo

 

[asif9138]

matter of 5 sixes

 

[x-man]

Four

 

[Ambi]

:4 excellent shot

 

[x-man]

28 from 7

 

[asif9138]

44444444

 

[Arcturus]

A six off last ball and it would become interesting

 

[asif9138]

they should have taken singles before

 

[Square Drive]

Shot Dawlat! )



If Dawlat hits another boundary on this ball, then things will get interesting.

 

[x-man]

Four moreee

 

[Arcturus]

haha even a 4 would do

 

[Justcrazy]

132 / 8

 

[Express Pace]

Slight chance here

 

[asif9138]

4 more

 

[x-man]

24 impossible?

 

[Ambi]

Another :4 good shot Poor pathan)

 

[Square Drive]

Another

Shabash Naib!!!!!

 

[SAF]

great fight by the Afghans!

 

[paulkatich]

Batting second is the best option in srilanka.

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

 

[asif9138]

other guy not taking single on ni ball..could have made the difference

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

Afghanistan require another 24 runs with 2 wickets and 6 balls remaining

 

[mithun_minhas]

Only 6 4's required to win.

Balaji to bowl.

Afghans should be the favs to win this )

 

[Arcturus]

Had Afghans held on to their catches the situation would have been quite different

 

[Express Pace]

Bouncer looked like a wide to me

 

[x-man]

Balaji bounce too much

 

[Justcrazy]

Good try by Afghanistan , 150 would have been better target for them.

 

[Square Drive]

Dot ball. Looks impossible now, unless they get a no-ball.

 

[x-man]

Out

 

[Express Pace]

Out
