AFGHANISTAN versus South Africa T20 World Cup game in Ahmedabad, India, went right down to the wire.
Afghanistan needed 13 runs from six balls with one wicket in hand.
Here’s how it unfolded.
19.1 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, 1 no ball, oh, dear! Rabada has bowled a no-ball that gives Afghanistan a lifeline.
19.1 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, 1 wide, slips this full and down leg, Noor looks to flick, this is called wide. Still six balls left, 11 needed. Free-hit stays
19.1 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no run, shelled down to long-off, dropped by Jansen. That was an absolute dolly. But again, didn’t matter. Run saved?
19.2 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, SIX
19.3 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, no run, full and tailing in, Noor works it down to long-on.
19.4 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, (no ball) 2 runs, goes straight down the ground, hacks it into the leg side towards wide long-on, they scamper back for a second.
19.4 – Rabada to Noor Ahmad, 1 run, OUT, drilled down to wide long-off, as they scamper a second. The throw comes in on the bounce to Rabada who stretches back to break the bails at the bowler’s end with Farooqi a millimetre short of the crease. Two Super Overs needed for SA to win. – Cricinfo
