Mohammad Nabi produced one of the most explosive finishes in recent memory as Afghanistan reached 169 for 8 against Sri Lanka in a must-win clash. Afghanistan looked under pressure for most of the innings, but Mohammad Nabi’s power-hitting in the final overs completely turned the game around.
Mohammad Nabi’s Heroics in Final Overs
For 18 overs, Sri Lanka dominated the contest. But in the last two overs, Mohammad Nabi grabbed the spotlight, smashing 60 runs off just 22 deliveries. His incredible assault included five sixes in the final over, helping Afghanistan score 49 runs in the last two overs alone. Nabi was eventually run out on the last ball, but his innings gave Afghanistan the momentum.
Sri Lanka’s Missed Chances Against Mohammad Nabi
Earlier in the innings, Dunith Wellalage dropped Mohammad Nabi when he was on just 6, a mistake that proved costly. The left-arm spinner was handed the final over, but his plan backfired badly as Nabi’s clean striking sent the ball repeatedly over the ropes. Despite strong bowling performances from Nuwan Thushara (4 for 18) and Wanindu Hasaranga’s economical spell, Sri Lanka could not contain Nabi’s late fireworks.
Mohammad Nabi’s Impact on Afghanistan’s Total
Wellalage tried to bowl flat and quick, but Mohammad Nabi dominated with brutal hitting over long-off and cow corner. The late surge transformed Afghanistan’s innings, taking them from a modest total to a highly competitive 169. For a young bowler like Wellalage, the experience may be hard to forget, but for Afghanistan, it was the perfect response under pressure.
A Crucial Knock From Mohammad Nabi
