Donald Tiripano to Mirwais, out Naib Run Out!! Needless but Naib was so desperate to get back to strike. This was a slower delivery from Tiripano. Mirwais Ashraf fails to make any connection with the swing. Naib though calls him through for a single. Mutumbami fires a deadly-accurate throw back on the stumps meaning Naib was caught short by a long way. At the striker's end obviously. Naib run out (Mutumbami) 37(20) [4s-2 6s-3]

The dangerman departs. Mohammad Shahzad b Cremer 33(17) [4s-2 6s-3]

1.3 -
Tendai Chisoro to Usman Ghani, no run, what has happened here? Darted in on middle and off, Usman Ghani taps it to backward point and set off, Shahzad was not ready for it and did not oblige the call, the fielder there did not throw it back to the keeper and ran with it towards the stumps at the striker's end, but by the time he broke the stumps, the batsman had made his ground. Don't know what Masakadza was thinking there, he had so much time on his hand to throw it towards the keeper, but he just didn't. Cost his team the wicket, one that the Afghans gifted them on a plate, but he made a complete mess of it
