Chase to Rashid Khan, out The non-striker Mujeeb is Run Out! Rashid skied that short one straight down the ground, and the long-on fielder who was coming in, fired in a throw. Rashid sent Mujeeb back to the non-striker's end and his bat got stuck right before he reached the crease. That encapsulates a luckless day for the Afghans! This has gone up to the 3rd umpire and it looks out as the bat got stuck before the non-striker made it to the crease. The Irish are already celebrating, and finally the big screen shows OUT! Mujeeb Zadran run out (Chase) 0(0)
