Malik bowls it slower on middle, Shahidi tries to hit it a bit too square on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. The slower off cutter has done the trick. He tries to take it on the second attempt but fails to hang on. Whacks Rashid Khan over deep mid wicket to collect six runs. Both got to their half centuries and once they did so, they stepped on the accelerator. On a night where things got too close for comfort for Pakistan, he has shown what a champion he is and how badly they need his experience in tricky situations. Asghar Afghan seems to be struggling with his hamstring. Dean Jones on air ain't too impressed with the length. Comes in and belts Nawaz for a six. The majestic knock from Malik came off just 43 deliveries. Boundary to finish Mohammad Nawaz's fourth over. Two in two for Nawaz First Ihsanullah off the last ball of his last over and now Shahzad off the first ball of this. Let's see how this caballeros. He guides this down to third man to reach that milestone. It goes high up in the air towards deep mid-wicket.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan as it happened, Asia Cup 2018: PAK win by three wickets - Shoaib Malik, in with a run-a-ball twenty odd, is key for Pakistan in this chase.

How will Rashid Khan floor us today? © AFP Pakistan win! A six and a four from Aftab Alam and Shoaib Malik is Pakistan's hero tonight. Not all lost for Afghanistan; they were very good until that last over. Pakistan needed 10 runs off the last over, the first ball of which was a dot. Aftab Alam bowled the next ball short, which Malik hit for a six to all but seal the game. The reason Afghanistan got so close to defending was their spinners. Mujeeb Ur Rahman got rid of the dangerous Fakhar Zaman in the first over, the left-handed opener out sweeping against spin for the first time in ODIs. What followed was a 154-run stand between Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam that settled nerves and set the stage for Malik to apply the finishing touches, which admittedly wasn't easy. Imam's run out by Najibullah in the 34th over gave Afghanistan the opening they were looking for, and Rashid Khan soon chipped in with Babar Azam's wicket. Mujeeb was at it again, picking Haris Sohail in the 42nd over for his second wicket. With the score reading 194 for 4 then, Sarfraz Ahmed put on 22 for the next wicket before he was bowled off a full toss by Gulbadin Naib. Rashid Khan then struck twice in a hurry to remove Asif Ali and Mohammad Nawaz but Afghanistan came up against Malik, who had hit only two fours until the last over of the game to manoeuvre Pakistan ahead. And Malik hits it for a six. It's all but sealed. Pakistan 6 down Rashid Khan has another. He's gotten Asif out in the deep, when the batsman was trying to lift a ball too full. Afghanistan need to get him. Rashid Khan has conceded at 8. In the two previous games in the , he had conceded at 2. CricProf Haris Sohail goes, Malik key Mujeeb gets him with a miscued pull that's flat-batted straight to long-on. Shoaib Malik, in with a run-a-ball twenty odd, is key for Pakistan in this chase. Rashid gets into the wickets column and Babar Azam has to go on 66 off 94 balls. Was a quick leg break that drew Babar out and then just spin enough. Very quick glovework from Shahzad, it must be said. Here comes the wicket! Imam is run out on 80, after a 154-run stand with Babar Azam. What have we got?! Rashid Khan to Imam-ul-Haq, out Imam-ul-Haq Run Out!! Something brilliant was needed to break this partnership and Najibullah provides that moment of excellence. These two were taking the risk singles and had got away a few times, but not this time. The googly is squirted off the outer half towards point, the pair were off in a flash without any hesitation but Imam is still caught a yard short at the bowler's end. That's because of Najibullah's brilliance, swooped down on the ball, clean pick up and the bullseye. All this in one motion. But we all know what a wicket can do, especially with Rashid left with six overs in the remaining 17 overs. Should be a good game from here -- 105 needed off 102 balls. Pakistan's Top 3 average 59. Only India have a better average 70. CricProf Fifty for Imam ul Haq Second of the tournament for him. Babar is also on 44, nicely manoeuvring along the chase with this 100+ run stand. Mujeeb has bowled 15 overs in the Powerplay in. The other seven spinners who have featured in the powerplay, put together have bowled 19 overs. CricProf At the 20 over mark, in this chase, Pakistan have played just 39% attacking strokes, their least attacking innings at this stage of the competition so far. CricProf Babar Azam and Imam are doing it easy Wickets in hand would be crucial and that is what they are exactly doing. The scoring rate is not fancy but they have it in them to accelerate later. PAK: 44 for 1 after 13 overs That's the first time Fakhar Zaman has been dismissed playing the sweep shot against a spinner in ODI cricket. Mujeeb troubled him right through the over, forcing him into sweeping, and pinning the pad in front of off-stump. Differently effective half-centuries from Hashmatullah Shahidi and Asghar Afghan propelled Afghanistan to 257 against Pakistan after they opted to bat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday September 21. Mohammad Nawaz, playing his first game in Asia Cup 2018, starred with three wickets while debuting Shaheen Afridi, coming in for out of form Mohammad Amir, picked two. Shahidi was stranded on 97 but the quick runs late in his innings combined with the stability he provided at the top has helped Afghanistan to a total that should test Pakistan, who haven't had the best of days against India. We'll see how they fare against Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi. Maiden ODI wicket for Afridi... And it's that of Asghar Afghan, who was belting everything for sixes. Goes for 67 off 56, hitting 2 fours and 5 sixes. Afridi sneaks under the slog with what looked like a slowish delivery and knocked the stumps back. Up until the end of 2017, Shahidi averaged 23 from 17 innings. In 2018, he is averaging 56 and is Afghanistan's top scorer in — The Cricket Prof. CricProf Afghan tees off Asghar has been pretty quite after that famous first-ball six but he tees off now, hitting a six and a four off Nawaz of all people in the 36th over. CricProf Nawaz breaks 63-run stand Raju Peethala says it's a day for the left-arm spinners. Jadeja's spinning Bangladesh in a hoop and here Nawaz gets Rahmat to miscue a big heave-ho and slices it back off the top-edge. Nawaz takes it on the second attempt. And Asghar Afghan doesn't like what Raju's pointed out. Comes in and belts Nawaz for a six. The partnership is not exactly quick but they have kept Hasan Ali wicketless in 3 overs and it's all building up to give Afghanistan a platform to launch. Rahmat and Shahidi are putting up a fight, all the more commendable against Hasan Ali's fire. Pakistan have gone short to push the batsmen back in the crease. Let's see how this works. Also, there's helluva lot spin. Two in two for Nawaz First Ihsanullah off the last ball of his last over and now Shahzad off the first ball of this. Enough spin to take the outside edge and skipper takes a fine catch behind the stumps. Nawaz gets him caught and bowled off a leading edge. Two dropped chances Pakistan have dropped two catches, off back to back balls and denied the debutant his maiden ODI wicket..... Here's the ball-by-ball: 7. Should have been caught by Zaman. Why was he going for it one-handed? Ihsanullah had flicked it towards mid-on and Zaman attempted for the catch, not once, not twice but thrice before he put it down. Afridi almost had his first ever ODI wicket 7. Got to feel for the youngster. This was a short delivery around the hips and Ihsanullah had top-edged it towards short fine leg. Usman stationed there was swift to move across and get his hands to it but his elbow hits the ground and he spills it out Openers in check Shaheen And Usman are bowling tight channels. Shahzad is obviously throwing his bat at everything but no dice so far. We'll see how this transpires. Pakistan don't lose the review. He's bowled his first over and looked nippy. Can be a touch fuller, if you want to critique at all. Pakistan hand a debut to Shaheen Afridi, resting Mohammad Amir. Haris Sohail comes in for Faheem Ashraf. Afghanistan replace Shenwari with Najibullah Zadran. I mean yeah India are playing Bangladesh in a game that'll have more eyeballs on it, but we can do all afford to be less important once in a while. And given how Afghanistan are metamorphosing in international cricket, good luck India. And what does Rashid Khan have for us tonight? It's like a different menu everyday. Preview There is an air of intrigue surrounding the emerging cricket rivalry between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's set in the backdrop of political tensions as well as the goodwill between the two cricketing nations that dates back to a few decades. In the 1990s, cricket became popular among the refugees of Afghanistan living in Peshawar, Pakistan. Pakistan was also the first Full Member of ICC who played an ODI versus Afghanistan during the 2011-12 season. However, in the recent past, the relationship between the two boards have soured, especially in the wake of Afghanistan deciding not to play T20 friendlies against Pakistan last year due to a bomb blast in Kabul. Away from political tensions, the two teams will renew their rivalry when they take on each other in their Super Four clash of Asia Cup 2018 in Abu Dhabi. The two sides have had slightly contrasting fortunes in their path to the Super Four. Afghanistan posted convincing wins against both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to progress to the next stage, while Pakistan slid to a eight-wicket loss versus arch-rivals India. You can read the.
