How did you get run out on the last ball?
The shocking scene went viral on social media, leaving fans worried about the condition of the New Zealand fast bowler. The incident occurred on the last ball of Afghanistan’s innings when Lockie Ferguson bowled a slow ball to Mohammad Nabi.
The ball was wide outside the off stump. Nabi stepped forward and hit it towards the deep cover region. Nabi and Azmatullah Umarzai ran fast and completed the first single safely. Azmatullah then tried to take the second run, but it was a big mistake as the run was not there.

At deep cover, James Neesham reacted quickly to the situation as the all-rounder picked up the ball cleanly and then bowled it hard and flat towards the bowler’s end. Seeing the ball coming, Ferguson ran quickly towards the stumps.
In a stunning effort, the Kiwi pacer caught the throw, broke the stumps in a single motion, and completed a perfect run-out. At that time, Azmatullah was still far away from the crease and had no chance to escape, as he was run out after scoring 14 runs off just 7 balls, which included two big sixes.
