Afghan Batter Sediqullah Atal Scores 48 Runs in Just one Over

Afghan Batter Sediqullah Atal Scores 48 Runs in Just one Over: One of the most surreal moments in T20 cricket, the Shaheen Hunters delivered a stunning blow against the Abasin Defenders in a Kabul Premier League (KPL) match held on Saturday, July 29th.

Sediqullah unleashed an onslaught of 7 sixes in just 8 balls, all against the left-arm spinner Amir Zazai.

This extraordinary event took place in the 19th over of the innings, with the Hunters showing promise at 158-6 after 18 overs. However, Zazai’s over dramatically shifted the momentum in favor of the opposition.

The first ball, which was also a no-ball, soared over the boundary for a six, followed by the second ball resulting in five wides.

Sediqullah seized this golden opportunity and sent the remaining five balls sailing over the fence as well. The crowd erupted with joy after witnessing the final six.

The fifth six of the over saw the left-handed batter successfully completing his century. Meanwhile, Zazai’s figures after the four-over spell were quite astonishing, with 1 wicket for 79 runs. He had earlier dismissed Taj Mohammed in the third over, who had scored in the single digits.

After scoring an impressive 213 runs in just 20 overs, led by Sediqullah’s unbeaten 118 off 56 balls, the Hunters displayed their dominance with the ball. In just 9 overs, they managed to dismiss half of the Defenders’ team, leaving their scoreboard at a disappointing 55-5.

The Hunters swiftly claimed the remaining five wickets, allowing the Defenders to add a mere 66 runs to their total. This remarkable performance resulted in an 82-run victory for the Hunters. However, despite their success, the Hunters currently hold the third position in the standings, with one win and two losses from three matches.

On the other hand, the Defenders find themselves at the bottom of the table, having suffered three defeats in four matches.

Australian Media Trolls India After 46 Runs Collapse Against New Zealand.jpg

Australian Media Trolls India After 46 Runs Collapse Against New Zealand: Cricket Australia poked fun at Rohit Sharma and company following Team India’s 46-run defeat to New Zealand in the opening Test match played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

On day two, bowlers Matt Henry and William O’Rourke of the Pacers wrecked havoc on India’s batting lineup by sharing nine wickets and bowling them out for just 46.

In an innings that featured five ducks, Rishabh Pant scored the most for the home team with 20 off 49. India now has the third-lowest Test score overall and the lowest total at home.

The lowest score India have ever scored at home against the West Indies was 75 in New Delhi in 1987. In a 2020 pink-ball Adelaide Test match against Australia, their lowest score to yet was 36.

Cricket Australia posted a clip of India’s 36-all victory in the 2020–21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series on social media, mocking the team for their terrible batting collapse and asking, “Is ‘All Out 46’ the new ‘All Out 36’?”

Former England captain Michael Vaughan also trolled India and shared, “Look on the bright side Indian fans .. at least you have got past 36 ..”

Henry took five wickets in fifteen balls in an overcast day, showing remarkable control over length and line. He also achieved the milestone of 100 Test wickets.

While experienced bowler Tim Southee claimed a wicket, O’Rourke, playing in his debut Test in India, made a great impact with his tricky bounce and variety of lengths, claiming 4-22.

India lost without contributing much because they failed to demonstrate the necessary batting effort to slog it out against swing or seam in an environment that was strongly in favour of an accurate New Zealand bowling line-up and excellently supported by their fielders.

In an unfortunate Indian batting display riddled with five ducks, only Rishabh Pant (20) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) managed to reach double digits.
