With four days remaining in the inaugural Desert T20, the competition will struggle to produce a better highlight than Najibullah Zadran's one-handed, slipping over six against the United Arab Emirates.

Zadran played the shot of his life as Afghanistan claimed a thrilling five-wicket win over the United Arab Emirates on Monday.

In a thrilling victory, the Afghans required 20 runs from the final two overs. They did it with an over to spare.
