36 off the last two overs and Paktia Panthers finish on 218. Captain Mohammad Shahzad and Ihsanullah Janat set the tone upfront going after the Kabul bowlers. The skipper was the aggressor and the duo put on 101 for the opening stand. Zahir Shehzad removed both the openers within a span of three balls.
However, Cameron Delport and Sikandar Raza kept the scoreboard ticking. Rashid Khan did bowl a tight spell, but the Panthers tackled him smartly by not gifting him wickets. In the end, Raza went berserk and took his team to an above-par score. Dew will play a huge role in the second innings. How will Kabul go about in their chase?
