india vs afghanistan
The Emerging Asia Cup semi-final match is being played between India and Afghanistan. In this important semi-final match being played in Oman, the Afghanistan team started strongly by winning the toss. The opening pair of Zubaid Akbari and Shadiqullah Atal started the innings in spectacular fashion and scored 61 runs in the powerplay without losing any wicket. Even after the powerplay, India’s quest for the first wicket continued. However, the Afghan opening pair did not stop even after the power play. Together they put 89 runs on the board in 10 overs.
After this, both the openers shifted gears and completed their respective half-centuries in the 12th over themselves. After this came the over that the Afghan batsmen were looking for. In fact, Rahul Chahar, who came to bowl in the 13th over, gave away 31 runs in a single over by hitting 4 sixes, taking Afghanistan’s score to 135 runs in 13 overs. After this, Rasikh Dar came to bowl in the 14th over and spent only 2 runs. India’s quest for the first wicket ended in the 15th over. On the first ball, Aaqib Khan got Zubaid Akbari trapped behind the wicket. However, there was a lot of uproar on the field regarding this wicket.
Afghans angry with referee’s decision
In reality, Zubaid was beaten while trying to play a great shot on Aaqib’s Yorker ball. The ball passed between the leg and the bat and reached the hands of the keeper. The goalkeeper appealed but the on-field referee did not give in. After this, the result of the third referee was awaited. During this, the initial pair from Afghanistan and the Indian players were seen talking. After some time, the third umpire gave the out decision, but the Afghanistan camp became angry about this. The Afghan official instructed his players to remain on the field, which created confusion on the field for some time. However, after a while, Zubaid returned to the pavilion. During this period the party remained stagnant for a long time.
