The final ball of the 13th over had Gill short of the crease while trying to run a single. Initial replays showed Gill short of his ground. However, the decision appeared far tighter upon closer inspection by the third umpire. It looked as if Klaasen’s gloves and not the ball may have dislodged the bails. Gill was visibly displeased afrer being ruled out, and engaged in a brief verbal exchange with the officials off the field.

A hoic towards deep midwicket by Head was snapped up by Rashid in a stunning piece of brilliance by the Afghan all-rounder. Running in from deep square-leg, Rashid covered a lot of distance to end up pouching the ball.
