Nabirsquos Experience Prevails
But cricketrsquos unpredictability meant Nabi had the final say. The Knights chased down the target with ease winning by five wickets and 18 balls to spare.
Fittingly it was Nabi who struck the winning runs finishing the game with a six of his own and taking his team to the top of the table.
A Dream Waiting to Unfold
Earlier this year Nabi shared his dream of playing alongside Eisakhil for Afghanistan in ODIs calling it one of his greatest aspirations. ldquoItrsquos my dream. Hopefully we can do it. He is a hard worker and Irsquom pushing him to keep goingrdquo Nabi told ICC.
If realised their partnership could mark a historic first for Afghanistan cricket mdash a father and son sharing the international dressing room.
