Evans to Shafiqullah, FOUR, there's the boundary they have been searching for. Sets himself for a pull, sees the ball short outside off and swings across the line, turns out to be a rocket hit past the bowler's outstretched hands, bisects long-on and long-off with point precision
17.5
Evans to Asghar Stanikzai, 1 run, flat hit, lands short of Macleod at long-on, he was readying to go for the catch but stopped for a brief while, that proved to be the difference between a wicket and a run
 

Kapil: "Can they close the innings well? I think the team which comes out triumph in this last 3 overs will win the game. Afghanistan need a minimum of 165 as the ball will be difficult to grip and Scotland just need to ensure they don't get bogged down in PP even if they lose a wicket or two as that's the best chance to put the opposition under pressure. Had HK attacked more in PP in the earlier game, the could have won that easily"

17.3
Evans to Asghar Stanikzai, 1 run, scooped towards short fine off the toe end
17.2
Evans to Asghar Stanikzai, 2 runs, high full toss outside off, he looks to go inside out, ends up slicing it towards deep point
17.1
Evans to Asghar Stanikzai, OUT, hit straight down the ground, so hard that it smashes into the stumps at the bowler's end and deflects towards the bowler, who quickly changes track on his followthrough to run towards the stumps and uproot it. Nabi was halfway down the pitch when he turned back, there was no way he would have made it back. Excellent match awareness from Evans, Nabi didn't expect it to go back onto the stumps

Mohammad Nabi run out 1 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
 

Dhananjay: "Its pretty ironic, Asghar Stanikzai's strike rate in first class (Test) is higher than list A (ODI). "
