Balkh Legends vs Paktia Panthers, 7th Match, Afghanistan Premier League 2018 - HighlightsBL vs PP, 7th Match, Afghanistan Premier League 2018 - Highlights

Naib to Delport, SIX, Delport caps the innings off in some fine fashion. Slower ball gone wrong for Naib, Delport gets underneath it and smacks it over long-off

Naib to Delport, SIX, whacked! Full on leg, Delport picks it up off his pads and flicks it effortlessly over square leg for a maximum

Naib to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, out Caught by Bopara!! Straight down the throat of long-on. Slower short ball outside off, Gurbaz needed to generate some power to clear Bopara, but he succeed in his endeavour. Top-edges and slices it up in the air, Bopara makes no mistake. Rahmanullah Gurbaz c Bopara b Naib 15(8) [4s-1 6s-1]

Aftab Alam to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, FOUR, woah. Audacious and full marks to the innovation. This was directed towards middle and leg, Gurbaz walked across his sticks and scooped it over short fine leg. Bounces in front of the ropes

Mirwais to Delport, SIX, Delport reaches fifty in style. Took some time to kick-on at the start, but once he found his bearings, he has been unstoppable. Fullish on leg, Delport with a little shimmy to club it way over long-on

Mirwais to Delport, SIX, yorker isn't forthcoming for Ashraf. Delport gets under it to pummel it over long-off. Backed away and got the required room to free his arms

Aftab Alam to Delport, FOUR, goes for the wide yorker and Delport is street-smart, went deep in his crease and opened his bat face to smear it past point

Nabi to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, SIX, oh, hello! Where did this come from? Nabi is shell-shocked. Drifting into the pads, Gurbaz steps out and hacks it with the turn over square leg

Nabi to Delport, out Shenwari Run Out!! Suicidal. Shenwari was looking so good, a risky single wasn't required at this stage. Harpooned into the blockhole, Delport squeezes it to the right of the bowler and called for the single. Shenwari was late to kick-start and Nabi quickly runs across, releases the throw in one-motion and the keeper does the rest. Shenwari run out (Nabi/Ikram Ali Khil) 25(14) [6s-3]

Nabi to Delport, SIX, lifted over the bowler's head for a maximum. Waited for the ball to arrive and swung through the line

Naib to Shenwari, SIX, Shenwari has picked the bones out of this length ball. Leg-cutter, Shenwari picked it early as he rocks back and smokes it over cow corner

Naib to Delport, SIX, slower delivery and has been slapped down the ground to send it over the bowler's head for a maximum. Delport finally gets it off the sweet spot

Qais Ahmad to Shenwari, SIX, kneels down on one leg and slams the ball over long-off for a sixer. Was too full and Shenwari decided to go big

Mirwais to Shenwari, SIX, stays behind the line of the ball and then lifts the pull away to send it over deep mid for a sixer

Mirwais to Ihsanullah, out Caught by Bopara!! Slower delivery and has been smashed straight to the man at long-off. That was full, the batsman tried to lift it away but failed to get enough elevation. Second strike for Balkh. It was in the slot and the batsman biffed it but could not clear the fielder. Ihsanullah c Bopara b Mirwais 47(28) [4s-5 6s-3]

Naib to Ihsanullah, SIX, friendly full toss from Naib, Janat accepts it with glee to slam it into the roof over long-off

Qais Ahmad to Ihsanullah, SIX, and again. The ball follows Aftab, this time it clears him to soar over his head for a maximum. Janat didn't get enough distance on this attempted loft, but the ball has enough wings to take it over the ropes

Qais Ahmad to Ihsanullah, FOUR, dropped. Aftab Alam under the scanner once again, makes a mess of it. Janat mistimes the downtown loft, sends it as far as long-off. Aftab perhaps overran a touch, couldn't recover in time and bobbles it back, tried to take it on the second attempt, flinging his left hand but in vain

Qais Ahmad to Delport, 1 run, two fielders converging under this skier, none called and the ball lands in between them. Delport top-edges the slog, dismisses it into the night sky. Fielders from long-on and deep mid-wicket rushed in, the latter bailed out at the last instant and long-on fielder slides, gets a finger-tip and hands Delport a lifeline

Nabi to Ihsanullah, SIX, Janat goes with the spin and goes over cow corner. Sets a solid base and whacks it powerfully to dispatch it out of the ground

Qais Ahmad to Ihsanullah, FOUR, very predictable from Qais. Again slides it faster outside off, Janat was waiting deep and executes the cut to perfection in the gap past point

Naib to Mohammad Shahzad, out Caught&Bowled!! Got him. Naib retaliates. And yells out a loud roar and celebrates by flexing his muscles. The dangerous Shahzad has been ousted from here but he has played his part. Seemed like the slower delivery, held up on the wicket and Shahzad was early into the shot. Checks it back to the bowler and easy return catch for Naib. Mohammad Shahzad c and b Naib 42(21) [4s-2 6s-5]

Naib to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, there's the pick-up shot. True Caribbean style. Full and on leg, Shahzad lowers his stance and sends it a mile by flicking his wrists over deep square leg. Shahzad breaches the 3000-run mark in T20s

Mirwais to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, Shahzad is racing away now. Short at the body, Shahzad instantly goes back and hammers the pull past square leg

Mirwais to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, wow! This is nonchalance at its best. Typical Shahzad shot. No feet movement at all. Allows for the ball to arrive, employs his strong bottom-hand to butcher it over long-off

Aftab Alam to Ihsanullah, FOUR, 15 runs to finish the over. Full and gets it too straight. Janat uses his bottom-hand to swat it in the gap between mid-wicket and mid-on

Aftab Alam to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, banged in short and Shahzad smashes it over mid-wicket. Expected the bouncer, stayed back and made proper connection

Aftab Alam to Mohammad Shahzad, FOUR, overcooks the wide yorker, Shahzad makes him pay. Slips the low full toss, Shahzad flails his hands and carves it square on the off-side. The third man fielder was very square but still Shahzad was able to breach the gap. Alam for some reason, is not happy with the fielder

Nabi to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, whew! Hint of flight and in the arc for Shahzad, who takes the ball journey over long-on. Make-shifted his stance by backing away to leg and freed his arms

Aftab Alam to Mohammad Shahzad, SIX, typical Shahzad gets this unconventionally over deep square leg for a maximum. Excellent short ball, well over Shahzad's head. He takes it head-on, hooks and ends up skewing a top-edge. There was a fielder waiting but it comfortably cleared him to sail over the ropes

Aftab Alam to Ihsanullah, FOUR, freebie from Alam. Slips it on the pads, Janat was aware that fine leg was inside the ring. Just gets a tickle and glances it very fine

Nabi to Ihsanullah, FOUR, threads the gap on the off-side. Flatter and width for the taking. Janat goes deep and cracks it towards cover, awkward bounce for the fielder and it beats him to run away to the fence
