Nabi’s late blitz lifts Afghanistan to 170 after Thushara’s magic

Mohammad Nabi produced a stunning late assault to rescue Afghanistan, smashing 49 runs in the last two overs to power his side to 170. The highlight was a breathtaking 32-run 20th over, showcasing the veteran’s big-hitting prowess at the death.

Earlier, Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Thushara was the standout with the ball, returning excellent figures of 4 for 18 to keep Afghanistan in check for most of the innings. Despite his heroics, Nabi’s fireworks have ensured that Sri Lanka now face a tricky chase under pressure.
