Shahidi to Rishabh Pant, out Caught by Azmatullah Omarzai!! This is high, taken at mid-off. Flighted delivery from Hashmatullah Shahidi. Pant thought he would step out and whack, but the ball turned a bit and forced the mishit. Flew high off the bottom of the bat. Pant knew he was in trouble the moment he made contact. Azmat moved forward from deep mid-off and settled under it nicely to take a good catch. This is a good phase for AFG. They have a bowler bowling a great spell and now a spinner has joined the party.
