Unstoppable Batting Spree by Mohammad Nabi: Slams Five Successive Sixes in Final Over; Racks Up Explosive 60 Runs in Just 22 Balls During the Asia Cup
Afghanistan Secures Victory in Asia Cup 2025 Match Against Sri Lanka
In a thrilling turn of events at the Asia Cup 2025, Afghanistan emerged victorious against Sri Lanka, thanks in large part to the outstanding performance of Mohammad Nabi.
After taking over the captaincy of the Afghan cricket team from Rashid Khan, Nabi demonstrated his leadership and batting prowess in the match. Listed as the captain for Afghanistan in the tournament, Nabi delivered an unforgettable performance, scoring a 22-ball 60.
The final over of the match saw Nabi capitalise on an opportunity against left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage. In quick succession, he hit five sixes, turning the match's momentum in Afghanistan's favour. The first and second balls of the 20th over, bowled by Wellalage, were both hit for sixes by Nabi. The over yielded a massive 32 runs for Afghanistan.
Nabi's innings included three fours and six sixes, helping Afghanistan recover from a precarious position of 120 for seven in the 18th over to a respectable 169 for eight at the close of the match.
Captain Charith Asalanka of Sri Lanka found himself in a challenging situation, having to use a spinner, Dunith Wellalage, for the final over due to exhausting his pace bowling options. Despite the heroics of Nabi, Sri Lanka put up a valiant fight, ultimately falling short by a narrow margin.
With Rashid Khan leading from the front and Nabi's exceptional batting performance, Afghanistan secured a hard-fought victory in the Asia Cup 2025. The team will look to build on this momentum as they continue their journey in the tournament.
