[Watch] Abu Dhabi T10 2025: Khawaja Nafay’s no-look six stuns bowler in Qualifier 1

On Saturday, November 29, Quetta Qavalry defeated to Aspin Stallions by seven wickets in Qualifier 1 of the current Abu Dhabi T10 2025 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. While there were plenty memorable moments from

The thrilling match, one that will stay with cricket fans for a long time is Khawaja Nafay’s single six during his quick innings of 12 runs off seven balls.

Walking in to bat at No. 5, the Pakistani batsman smashed West Indies spinner Ashmead Nedd for a stunning six over deep mid wicket. What was intriguing about the shot was Nafay’s ability to keep his head down even after making contact with the ball. The right-handed batter knew he had hit the ball from the sweet spot of the bat and didn’t even glance at how far it travelled.

The bowler was plainly agitated, but he didn’t do much wrong with his delivery. The hitter had left himself some freedom to use his arms by walking outside the line of his leg-stump. Nedd chased him, hoping to cramp him up, but Nafay was up to the challenge. After hitting the ball, he took a step back from the pitch and looked down.
