Afghanistan left-handed batsman Hazratullah Zazai smashed six back-to-back maximums in the match between B?alkh Legends and Kabul Zwanan at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Zazai hit six sixes off Abdullah Mazari’s over en route to his blistering half-century off just 12 deliveries. His knock emulated Yuvraj Singh’s effort against England at Durban in 2007 during the inaugural ICC World Twenty20. Back then, Yuvraj smashed six sixes off a Stuart Broad over to move to a 12-ball half-century.

However, Zazai’s brilliant cameo failed to get his team over the line.

Earlier, Chris Gayle smashed 80 off 48 balls to help Balkh Legends achieve a mammoth total o?f 244 for six?? in 20 overs.

Despite Zazai’s fireworks, the Kabul Zwanan could only manage 223 for seven in the chase.

Here’s the video of Hazratullah Zazai’s six-sixes in an over:

Brief scores:

Balkh Legends 244 for six in 20 overs (Chris Gayle 80, Dilshan Munaweera 46, Darwish Rasooli 50, Mohammad Nabi 37; Fareed Ahmad 2 for 48) beat Kabul Zwanan 223 for seven in 20 overs (Hazratullah Zazai 62, Luke Ronchi 47, Shahidullah 40; Mohammad Nabi 1 for 27, Ben Laughlin 3 for 37, Qais Ahm??ed 1 for 27) by 21 runs.

Rashid Khan played a captain’s knock for Kabul Zwanan against Balkh Legends during the ongoing Afghanistan Premier League (APL) 2018.

Rashid (unbeaten 56 off 27) along with Laurie Evans (64 off 47) rescued their team from 76/5 to 176/6. The?? pair added 96 for the 6th wicket off 50 deliveries? including 67 runs that came across 17-19 overs.

During his blistering knock, Rashid also smashed Ravi Bopara for 28 runs in an over. Bopara conceded 25 runs in his first 3 overs before Kabul’s skipper took an attack over him.

This was the first time Bopara gave more than 50 runs with the ball in his T20 career.
In the 300 T20 matches before this game, the most Bopara ever conceded in a single gam?e was 46 against Surrey in the 2018 T20 Bla??st.

However, it was Ryan ten Doeschate’s unbeaten 46-ball 78 which took Balkh home with seven deliveries to spare.
