Mohammad Nabi to Thirimanne, no run, wider of the crease, on off and middle. Thiri defends. Nabi starts with an impactful wicket maiden
5.5
Mohammad Nabi to Thirimanne, no run, good stuff from Afghanistan. Flatter delivery on off, pushed towards long-off but cover makes a desperate dive to prevent the run
5.4
Mohammad Nabi to Thirimanne, no run, beauty. Beautiful bowling, slowed up on middle and the ball spins and grips past the prodding Thiri.
5.3
Mohammad Nabi to Thirimanne, no run, overpitched outside off, too much flight. Thiri drills a drive to extra cover
 

Left-handed Lahiru Thirimanne

 
5.2
Mohammad Nabi to Chandimal, OUT, gone. Nabi does it. Stanikzai goes to his main bowler and gets rewarded. Nabi may have seen Chandi advancing and shortened the length. Chandimal goes for a big heave but doesn't get it off the middle, it lobs up off the inside half and lodges in midwicket's hands, who takes it over his head

LD Chandimal c Samiullah Shenwari b Mohammad Nabi 18 (17b 2x4 1x6) SR: 105.88
 

Geethike: "That pull..I've only seen Chandimal play it in that fashion during his under 19 days. "

 
5.1
Mohammad Nabi to Chandimal, no run, flat and straight, a hint of turn. Clipped to midwicket
 

Here is Nabi, Afghanistan desperate for a breakthrough
