00:00He's first up for South Africa
00:06Lungi Ngidi I think has bowled very well in the first two ODIs
00:11all nicely closed out the innings quite well yet two days ago one from Lungi Ngidi
00:19well might be a change in plan for Lungi Ngidi but not from Gerbaz down the pitch straight away
00:30you talk about tactics perhaps
00:44beats Carl Varena down the leg side now was there a little bit of
00:48glove yes I think there was first boundary of the contest two overs done nine without loss
01:00I just think Gerbaz just needs to have a little look
01:04knows he don't know where the pair is it's two ducks
01:08but he'll be delighted he's off the mark in his ODI perhaps just to put the ball off Gubas
01:16nice sweep very very efficient from Gerbaz because he knew exactly where the sweeper was
01:23positioned and he manipulated his body to great effect he plays the shot so well
01:32no there's a deep square but he's almost delaying that sweep shot
01:37trying to get out in front of him to get it way behind square
01:41and into his fourth over
01:45I'm talking about not much aggression there's an example of perfect aggression
01:49blazing hit down the ground from Malik
01:56using his feet
02:00clearing mid-on just the two fielders allowed outside the circle in the first 10 overs
02:06as a debutant you give him a couple of deliveries just to try and get him to settle in and
02:11maybe he feels like he's done exactly that now 5 of 16 and then deciding to take the attack
02:17too long he feels comfortable
02:23shout for LBW and the finger goes up looked a decent shout I have to say
02:33Malik will consider the review but watching live it looked a very good
02:39shout indeed from my perspective the batters do indeed decide to review it
02:47oh
02:54Chiyam Pai director we have a play review for league before original decision is out
02:59I have checked the feet it's fair delivery can we start with front on first
03:04um
03:21forward flood line flood line there is a gap between ball and bat
03:25satisfy no betters in wall ball checking please when ready
03:34copy
03:40pitching outside off impact in line wicket is heading stay with your original decision
03:47Langton you on screen signal now Langton Rosieri got that one spot on didn't he
03:56so a first wicket for South Africa and the debutant Malik has to go for nine
04:01LBW to Ngidi it's 27 for one
04:08do um decent pace deliveries and normally pretty accurate that's not accurate that's short that's
04:15wide and Guba has just given himself a little bit of room waits for the offside it was going
04:20to be down to placement can he get it through the inner ring and he could
04:24he puts the bowlers under so much pressure his willingness to use his feet
04:34sometimes just force the bowler into dropping it a little bit shorter
04:43whipped away over square leg that'll be four
04:47not sure that was exactly where Gerbas was meant to be hitting it
04:51he's got a substantial inside part of that bat yeah just singly in one again that maybe that was
04:57the cutter from Lungi the faster cutter just a normal orthodox delivery that he rolls his fingers
05:04down the side of doesn't really try and take the pace off it and maybe looking mid-on with the
05:10amount of purchase just carried on with it thinking well it's not going to go mid-on but
05:15I'll drag it to mid wicket in fact it goes behind square and Lungi's not happy
05:20oh that's remarkable yes please and Gidi has parried that on to the non-striker and then
05:31it's ricocheted off Ramachar onto the stumps Ramachar could have run himself out here
05:38yeah I don't even think they need to see inside this is how they get
05:41it's a little finger onto the non-striker and onto the stumps
05:51so
05:56can you show me from front on his contact with the ball of the hand
06:13okay there's a clear contact satisfy my decision for big screen
06:21so
06:34yeah so the decision is made it's Ramat run out by Ramat
06:38for one Afghanistan 38 for two
06:51super on the offside for the right and better
06:55and the deep square on the onside finally gets also on side on the boundary Mulder into the attack
07:08gorgeous stroke from Gurbaz down the ground for four a powerful stroke down the ground
07:14yeah I mean he knows his role he knows that he always has to score runs for Afghanistan
07:23and should be taking the responsibility especially after how Ramachar the party was a bit unlucky
07:28this time a fuller ball from Mulder among all the bowlers from South Africa he's
07:32enjoyed batting against Mulder in particular so a beautiful shot
07:36this time driven to the on-site for a single sense of urgency and determination into strokes from Gurbaz
07:44Giri was too good for him he's been bowling slower balls
07:48frequently and foxed him on that a fuller one kind of set him up and Abdul Malik didn't have the answer
07:58rise through the offside for a single right and left in combination in the middle at the moment
08:02changing his angle and the slower delivery has already worked
08:06hitting the wicket of Abdul Malik on his debut it's been a sedate start
08:15it's a very promising batting prospect for Afghanistan coming in through the ranks has
08:19already been played some excellent domestic cricket in Afghanistan is coming back on the
08:24in the back of some terrific uh batting prospects coming in through the ranks
08:29in the back of some terrific uh runs uh in the last previously held state tournament
08:38well no doubt he's a very good uh cricketer back home but he's very unlucky on his debut i remember
08:43when he made his debut uh in the test matches was unfortunately out on two ducks i don't want to
08:48bring it up don't say it to Abdul Malik and on his debut in this one day international once again
08:55probably a little bit of nerves but he's really a very strong prospect for the Afghanistan in the
09:01future very good aggressive batsman good atmosphere good crowd in today as well
09:11third on the boundary and the point on the boundary so below is scoring areas
09:16side looking to attack the stunts
09:28down the track finds the get through the offside challenge for the fieldsman he gives it up it's
09:33gone for four 50 up for Afghanistan as well good shot from us see a good thing is intent
09:41as a batter when you show the confidence in the intent out there
09:44is why and how you are able to score runs he understands who to attack goes off to Mulder
09:52who's not a fast-paced bowler and with the pace he's offering and with the width he's offered he's
09:58come down the track remember he was standing a little bit away from his thumbs came down the
10:03track and pierced this gap nicely for four there's a good start for the over by Hashmatullah Shahidi
10:11shot on the left side seen many times Hasmat getting out to a short delivery
10:19wide signal by the umpire banked him two men on the boundary on the offside
10:25and one man on the boundary one inside the 30th circle and from where he
10:28managed to find the gap from his strong areas
10:35Hashmat has been a consistent performer for Afghanistan over the years
10:39but in this specific event in South Africa he hasn't been among runs so far
10:46good bouncer good bumper from Van Mulder
10:50no it's the cricket that talks you hit a bowler for a boundary
10:55and this is the response from the bowler
11:00let's start once again not much of movement of the surface we can afford to play on the rise
11:07searching for that false stroke from Gurbaz
11:14slower bouncer wide signal
11:23and they've got two wide balls he is coming up a front against the island with three odis and
11:28two t20 internationals to be played against them in Abu Dhabi it was a slower bouncer
11:35the commentator is coming into play I just mentioned about two bouncers from
11:43Lungi Ngid and here comes one from the Mulder
11:47oh they'll surely be
11:52smacking it through McVick at six
11:55turning stroke from Gurbaz coming in and supporting Afghanistan this game
12:02now I gotta ask you this question how do you know they are supporting Afghanistan
12:06because we have seen them support Afghanistan all over those years
12:10and because Afghanistan also some big fan base in supporting India
12:20you know it's so much franchise cricket and a lot of South Africans playing in the IPL
12:24you never know maybe we have some Sunrisers Hyderabad fans Aydan Markram bowling
12:30yeah I mean I wish we could ask him who you're supporting sitting next to the Afghans will tell
12:34you maybe just maybe yes supporting Afghanistan that's exactly why I was telling that because
12:41this seems to be supporting your smart guess now you say you're saying this because of that
12:46you didn't see the Afghanistan flag earlier
12:52well they received tremendous support back in the
12:55ICC ODI World Cup capacity crowd at the Feroz Shah Kotla Cricket Stadium cheering for Afghanistan
13:01cricket team and they went on to beat England
13:06short extra cover in position on the offside
13:12pulling tightly accurately good pace as well
13:17now I don't doubt they are South African fans
13:24rides the bounce and guides the ball into the offside
13:27in limit to a single they might also support Afghanistan
13:47all right
14:12oh that's tripped in the air and land safely that's a bit fortunate
14:16The Bangladesh captain.
14:23Yeah, many would say, a bit of fortune here.
14:26He's trying to work this into the leg side, leading it.
14:29Fortunately for him, landing in no man's land.
14:38Oh, that's beautifully played.
14:40Got into position early, he was looking for that shot.
14:43And then, executes a fantastic sweep shot.
14:46It'll take him to another milestone in the series.
14:49Yeah, he was always going to look to impose himself on the youngster.
14:54Brings up the 6th half century for Ramanula Gubas in the ODI format.
15:01Yeah, he's...
15:03He's got this crowd going once again.
15:07He's an excellent player, he's an entertainer.
15:10Bit of a nervy start this afternoon, but once he gets going,
15:14he will impose himself on any bowling line-up.
15:18The ball cleared the roof, so it took a bit of time to get it back,
15:21but this is the moment.
15:22Got into position early, and that's right off the middle of the bat.
15:25It is a beautiful place to be in good touch as Sharjah.
15:28It's better if you find your form,
15:30and you can really cash in and get some big scores.
15:33He's got 50 or 47 deliveries, striking at a decent strike rate.
15:37And you're thinking, come on,
15:39I'm going to get back-to-back hundreds at this international,
15:42one-day level against South Africa.
15:52That's a way to get on this kind of detail.
15:55Yeah, when I look at Gubas, there's a real hunger.
16:00A busy player, he runs well between the wickets,
16:02and he really pushed the bowl out of the way.
16:06He really pushed the bowl under pressure all the time.
16:09Not just by playing big shots,
16:11but being innovative from time to time.
16:30It's good running, but is it good running?
16:32It was well thrown in the end,
16:33from just in stubs on the boundary.
16:34He's got a strong arm, and he's going to be sent upstairs.
16:38A shrug of the shoulders from him.
16:40Not 100% convinced that he's made his ground.
16:51Copy.
16:59Go forward, frame by frame.
17:01Frame by frame.
17:02Easy.
17:03One frame more.
17:05OK, satisfied?
17:06My decision?
17:08Bet.
17:16Yeah, and out it is.
17:17That was brilliant by Tristan Stubbs.
17:18And that was angled past backward point,
17:20I thought it was a comfortable two.
17:21But he's got a strong arm,
17:22he ended up bouncing it on the other bit of the square,
17:25and it got to Varena quickly.
17:27The ball was right next to the stumps,
17:29didn't take much to get it on to the wickets.
17:32Anything else came off.
17:34Out for 10 is Hasmatullah.
17:3674 for 3.
17:37Time for the players to have a drink.
