Naveen-ul-Haq's delivery was nothing short of spectacular, clocking in at a blistering 135.5 kmph. It was a good length delivery that found the perfect line and length just outside off stump. The ball angled in and then nipped away sharply, leaving Head in a tricky situation.
Travis Head, perhaps a little unsure of the conditions, prodded tentatively at the ball. Unfortunately for him, the edge was found, and the ball carried comfortably to the wicketkeeper, Ikram Alikhil, who made no mistake. The crowd erupted in cheers as Naveen-ul-Haq celebrated his magnificent wicket.
The Australian team was immediately under pressure as the Afghan Atalans mobbed Naveen with excitement. This early breakthrough was a testament to Naveen's skill and composure, as he dispatched one of Australia's key batsmen with only his second delivery.
