Nabi’s blitz in vain as UAE edge Afghanistan in second T20I

SHARJAH: Mohammad Nabi’s blistering 47 went in vain as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) edged Afghanistan by 11 runs in the second T20I here on Sunday.

The host team’s bowlers Muhammad Jawadullah and Ali Naseer bowled Afghanistan for 155 in pursuit of 167 to register an 11-run victory and level the series 1-1.

UAE got off to a flying start after opting to bat first as their captain Muhammad Waseem and Aryan Lakra raised a brilliant 72-run opening stand.

Qais Ahmed put the brakes on their progress with the wicket of Waseem, who departed after a quick innings of 53 runs from 32 balls, featuring four boundaries and three sixes.

Afghanistan bowlers capitalized after the first wicket as UAE slipped from 72-1 to 127-7, with Lakra standing firm amidst falling wickets on the other end.

Akif Raja joined Lakra at the fall of the seventh wicket in the 17th over and together they added 39 runs from 19 balls to push UAE’s total to 166-7 in their allotted 20 overs.

Aryan Lakra scored an unbeaten 63 off 47, with the help of three boundaries and four sixes, while Akif Raja scored 13 off 11 with two boundaries.

Qais Ahmed and Azmatullah Omarzai picked two wickets for Afghanistan, while Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mohammad Nabi grabbed one scalp each.

In response, Hazratullah Zazai and Rahmanullah Gurbaz laid the foundation for Afghanistan with a 47-run opening stand which was broken by Ali Naseer in the sixth over.

Gurbaz was the first man to depart after an anchoring 21 off 17.

Afghanistan skipper Ibrahim Zadran (4) became the second victim of Naseer in the next over with 63 runs on the board.

Zazai continued to attack before he also fell prey to Naseer after scoring 36 runs from 27 balls, laced with two boundaries and three sixes.

After Zazai’s departure, Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran stitched together a 26-run partnership before Jawadullah dismissed Zadran to end the budding stand.

Darwish Rasooli was also bowled by Jawadullah in the same over, while Azmatullah Omerzai was dismissed on the first ball of the next over by Junaid Siddique, slipping Afghanistan to 99-6.

Qais Ahmed then played an 18-run cameo off 13 balls, laced with two boundaries and one six before Naseer returned to end his brief stay on the crease.

Nabi was the only ray of hope for Afghanistan as they lost three more wickets in quick succession with 128 runs on the board.

Afghanistan needed 39 runs from 13 balls with one wicket in hand.

Nabi took control and knitted a tenth wicket partnership with the last man Fazalhaq Farooqi, who got to play only two balls during his stay on the crease.

However, with 20 required off the last over, he only managed eight runs before getting out on the penultimate ball, ending an entertaining yet fighting knock.

Ali Naseer returned with bowling figures of 4-24, while Jawadullah picked 4-26 for UAE.

Yamin Ahmadzai bags five-fer as Afghanistan thump UAE in first practice match

SHARJAH: Yamin Ahmadzai decimated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) batting lineup with his five-wicket haul and powered Afghanistan to a statement 109-run victory in the first 50-over practice match on Monday.

Put into bat first, Afghanistan could only put 214 runs on the board before bundling out in the 48th over.

The touring side had an unwanted start to their innings as they lost their opener, Riaz Hassan in the third over with 16 runs on the board.

Another opener Mohammad Ishaq was then joined by experienced Rahmat Shah in the middle and the pair added 30 runs for the second wicket before the former perished.

Ishaq scored 22 in 21 deliveries with the help of two boundaries and a six.

Rahmat then joined forces with Bahir Shah to put together an anchoring partnership and put Afghanistan in command.

The duo had driven Afghanistan to 115/2 in 20 overs. However, Muhammad Zuhaib provided a much-needed breakthrough in the following over for the UAE by dismissing Rahmat, who had scored 38 off 54 balls with three boundaries and a six.

Afghanistan then ran into a collapse and soon slipped to 147/6 in the 30th over with their mainstay Bahir Shah also walking back to the dugout.

He remained the top-scorer for Afghanistan with a 64-ball 44, which included four boundaries and a six.

Experienced all-rounder Gulbadin Naib then took charge of Afghanistan’s innings and stitched a crucial 61-run partnership with Sharafuddin Ashraf to take the touring side past the 200-run mark.

The pair appeared to be in good nick to power Afghanistan to a big total but their back-to-back dismissals in the 45th over halted their side’s progress.

Naib scored a sensible 42 in 51 balls while Ashraf scored a cautious 24.

Akif Raja then ran through Afghanistan’s batting tail and booked the visitors on a modest total.

Raja led the bowling attack for the UAE with 3/40 while Muhammad Jawadullah, Muhammad Zuhaib and Dhruv Parashar bagged two wickets each.

Chasing a modest total, UAE’s batting lineup failed against Afghanistan’s disciplined bowling attack and could yield a mere 105.

Dhruv Prashar waged a lone battle for the home side with a gutsy knock but his efforts went in vain as he received no support from the other end.

He top-scored for the UAE with an unbeaten 38 off 61 deliveries with the help of four boundaries.

Besides him, tailender Muhammad Jawadullah (24) was the other notable run-getter for the UAE while the rest of their batters failed to make it into the double figures.

Yamin Ahmadzai led the bowling attack for Afghanistan with a five-wicket haul while Fareed Ahmad and Bilal Sami picked two wickets each.
