Scorecard

United Arab Emirates were on track for its second Intercontinental Cup victory in Afghanistan, where they were six down with 40 overs remaining for the hoops in the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium. However, Mohammad Nabi played 153 balls and with Asghar and Samiullah Stanikzai Shenwari Afghanistan to take a draw.

Nabi scored a century batting up the order in the first innings, but only entered at number seven in the second period when Afghanistan was 71 in the fifth he has only 35 runs but was the time he spent on the bar of that mattered.

If a company, Nabi Stanikzai for the first time he used up to 53 balls for his 10, and Shenwari who played for six innings of 78 patients have eventually reached 131 for 7 days in order to leave behind the United Arab Emirates Intercontinental Cup table.

Afghanistan, however, had the option away from them, which passes through the tail and the machines of 228 for the bowling. They could not carry all the momentum from this delayed response in their innings and were reduced to 30 by 3.
