🏏Asia Cup 2023: M6: SL vs AFG in Lahore on 05/09/2023 at 3PM IST 🏏 - Page 43

Arif Ganderbal: "Afghanistan still alive in the competition. I guess, it is a Pressure cooker like situation for SL more than AFG."

23.4 Shanaka to Shahidi, FOUR, hit me full toss, Shahidi doesn't overhit. Funky field with no deep point. There is a very square short third man in addition to short third man, so Shahidi guides this drive through point to comfortable beat the patrol in the deep

23.6 Shanaka to Nabi, FOUR, edgeddd and just past the diving backward point fielder.

Both players will get their 50 s.

Shahid: 39 from last 2 overs.. Afghanistan on fire

24.4 Pathirana to Nabi, FOUR, fullish delivery outside off stump, smashed over cover and what a time for the 38 years young Mohammad Nabi to smash Afghanistan's fastest ODI fifty - off 24 balls. Sri Lanka's defensive weapon isn't working against Nabi. Nabi knew Pathirana is going to look to bowl only wide of off and he was waiting. Brilliantly paced 16th ODI fifty from the veteran. Delivering at the crunch, what a warrior he's been for Afghanistan
