END OF OVER:
20 | 10 Runs | PAK: 159/7 | RR: 7.95

  • Shaheen Shah Afridi23 (16b)
  • Haris Rauf3 (3b)
  • Ali Khan4-0-30-1
  • Saurabh Netravalkar4-0-18-2

Saad: "Well played Shaheen !"

Noshtush Kenjige: "Just half the job is done now. To restrict them to 150, I think it's a very good wicket. We know they are a dangerous side, but we believe in our abilities. It's good we are reflecting it on the ground. It's pretty hot, and if you'd have given us 150 at the halfway stage, we'd have taken it."

12.18pm local (10.18 PST) Pakistan were 26 for 3 in the fifth over. Shadab Khan thought the best escape route was to counterattack, and he smashed 40 from 25 balls in a stand of 72 with Babar Azam. Babar had decided to play anchor, but struggled to 44 off 43 deliveries on a slow pitch. Eventually, it was a massive contribution of 23* from Afridi that helped drag Pakistan to a good score. But credit to Kenjige (3 for 30) and Netravalkar (2 for 18) to restrict Pakistan to 159, and give USA a chance of an upset. Join Ekanth for the chase to see where this goes.

Ali Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, SIX, deposited deep into the crowd! On a length, and angling into middle and off. Afridi presents the full face of the bat in dumping it nearly out of the ground

Ali Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 1 wide, another bouncer, and this is called wide. Afridi looked to pull but missed, and the ball was too high

Ali Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, no run, ahh, a bouncer at 144kph! Ali Khan bangs it hard on a back of a length around off, and the ball zooms up, with Afridi looking to pull but missing. There is a throw from the keeper towards the bowler, who missed it, and the batters ran two. But this is called dead ball!

Netravalkar to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 1 run, ohh, this is ballooned... but lands in the gap halfway towards deep point! It was a fullish length a bit wide of off, as Afridi looked to slice it but ended up sending it straight up in the sky

Abdul: "@Arshad Nadeem, Shaheen will mind if you consider him bowler, he is an all rounder :-)"

Netravalkar to Haris Rauf, 1 run, another full toss, but this is pretty low. It angles across and ends outside off, and is heaved wide of long-on
18.4
1
Netravalkar to Shaheen Shah Afridi, 1 run, on a length, and wide of off. Again Afridi is across the stumps, and swats it to long-on

And there's a bit of a delay, as the fan who caught the ball has to take climb down the stairs to throw the ball back into the field of play...

Netravalkar to Shaheen Shah Afridi, SIX, hoicked wide of long-on! Memories of all those runs Afridi got against India at MCG in 2022. This time he is deep in the crease, and slightly across the stumps. He gets a full toss outside off, and dumps it into the crowd for six

Arshad Naveed: "So it's over to bowlers to finish both innings for Pakistan"

Netravalkar to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT, ohh, an animated appeal for lbw... and it is given out! But Iftikhar reviews! It was a slower ball which was dipping rather sharply. It hit Iftikhar's front pad seemingly on leg, as he looked to swipe this to the on side. He was standing deep in the crease, and was beaten by the change of pace. Replays show it would have landed right on the base on middle and leg stump, and of course, hit them too. So Pakistan lose Iftikhar right when it mattered most

Iftikhar Ahmed lbw b Netravalkar 18 (27m 14b 3x4 0x6) SR: 128.57

Netravalkar will finish off

Ali Khan to Shaheen Shah Afridi, FOUR, heaved to deep midwicket! A full toss landing at a comfortable shin height on middle, and he swings across the line with his front leg out of the way

Nitin: "Pakistan have a world-class bowling attack. Anything over 160 would not be easy for USA"
