44.2
McCarthy to Rashid Khan, no run, run out chance goes begging. Rashid is so far down the pitch that the fielder at backward point could've thrown it to the keeper, or just waited for him to get to the stumps. Instead he tries a direct hit and misses. Back of a length just outside off, steered to the left of point. Poor judgement from Rashid who just takes off. Najibullah is right to send him back. Gets away
