पाकिस्तान vs यूएसए, मैच 12, सिंहलीज स्पोर्ट्स क्लब, कोलम्बो, 10 February 2026 - लाइव कमेंट्री

Right into the blockhole, on off, Andries Gous shovels it to the left of Shaheen, who dives from mid on and cuts it off. One taken. Afridi gets appreciated by his teammates for a fine effort.

 FOUR! Not in total control, but gets it away. Spins and grips from a length, outside off, Shayan throws the kitchen sink at it, trying to smash over cover, but the ball turns and gets sliced over backward point for a boundary.

Fired in and around leg, on a good length, Shayan Jahangir nudges it off the inside edge to square leg for a single.

 FOUR! Handsomely played! Short by Nawaz, on the stumps. Gous uses the depth of the crease and launches it over Shaheen at mid on for a boundary.

OUT! UP IN THE AIR, GONE! Nawaz puts a halt to this threatening opening partnership. The dangerous Andries Gous goes for a run-a-ball 13 and USA are 42/1, chasing 191.

IN THE AIR... LANDS SAFE! The shot was actually on with mid on in the ring. A full ball on the middle and leg stump, Shayan Jahangir clears the front leg and airs it over mid on. Shaheen Afridi runs back from the ring and Saim Ayub sprints to his left from deep mid-wicket, but the ball lands it between the two fielders as it plugs in the outfield. Two taken.

Gets in front to defend, but does not read the googly on a fuller length, and inside edges onto the front pad.

Pushed flat and on a length, on leg, Shayan Jahangir backs away and heaves it through square leg for a single.

A googly, on middle, Andries Gous pushes it gently to the right of the bowler.

Run out appeal! Fullish and floated outside off, Andries Gous throws his hands and eases it to backward point. Gous is keen for a single, but is sent back by Shayan as the ball is picked up by the fielder. Seeing Andries out of the crease, the fielder throws to Usman and he whips the bails off. But not before Gous makes it back home. Usman appeals for a run out, but nothing doing.

Pitched fuller, around off, Gous pushes it wide of mid off and scampers through for a run. A tidy start from the leggie, as always!

Swings back in a touch, on a fractionally fuller length, Andries Gous plays with a vertical bat and drills it down the ground for a single as mid off cuts it to his right.

A half hearted appeal for LBW, but it is clearly pitching outside leg. On a length, outside leg, nipping into the batter. Shayan Jahangir gets in an awkward tangle for a block, and wears it on the pads as the ball beats the inside edge.

On a good length, on leg, Shayan Jahangir heaves it to deep mid-wicket's right, where Faheem Ashraf fumbles on a straightforward ball and parries it away to his left, allowing the second run.

Nagging length, around off, Shayan Jahangir heaves it off the inner half to mid-wicket.

 FOUR! That flew past the keeper! Shaheen is not happy with Usman's effort. Back of a length, on middle, Shayan Jahangir looks to whip that across, but gets a fat outside edge behind to the keeper's right. Usman Khan initially moves to his left and then dives to his right, but the ball evades his outstretched right hand and gallops to the fence behind.

Slammed into the pitch, on leg, Shayan Jahangir whips it aerially and on the bounce to the left of deep square leg for a run. Shaheen has leaked 17 runs from his 2 overs so far.

Nicely floated up, full and on off, Andries Gous taps it gently to the cover region for a single.

Fizzes through the deck, on a length, on middle, Shayan Jahangir goes deep in the crease and stabs it to point.

Short and outside off, Shayan Jahangir crunches it off the back foot, but Faheem Ashraf, at covers, dives to his left and cuts it off, preventing any run.

SIX! That goes all the way for a six! Shorter, slower, and on middle. Shayan Jahangir goes deep in his crease and pulls it magnificently over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Landed on a fuller length, on leg, Shayan Jahangir fails to get under it to pump it over mid on and chips it on the bounce to the fielder in the ring.

FOUR! Gets all of it! Dropped short by Saim, on the leg stump, Shayan Jahangir picks the length early and pulls it over mid-wicket, bisecting long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary.

What a start from Shaheen! Back of a length, on leg, Andries Gous is cramped for room as he looks to block it. Gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball clips his pads and lobs towards the keeper. An appeal for lbw but turned down. Height was an issue.

On a length, on middle and leg, Andries Gous flicks it to mid-wicket.

FOUR! That is some way to get off the mark! A touch fuller, outside off, Andries Gous leans on and creams it in the gap through cover for a boundary.

Gous bunts this length ball back to the bowler.

Nearly chops it on! Back of a length around off, shaping away from the right-hander. Gous plays from the crease with no footwork, looking to work it through the off side. He gets a bottom edge that deflects off the front boot and trickles in front of cover-point. They cross for a quick single.

 FOUR! Up and over! A loose ball by Afridi, on leg, Shayan Jahangir hits it over and between mid on and mid-wicket for a boundary.
