The Shpageeza Cricket League 2025 delivered another electrifying contest as the Speen Ghar Tigers overcame the Mis Ainak Knights at Kabul International Cricket Stadium. While the Tigers’ comprehensive win showcased their cricketing prowess, it was Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan who produced a moment of pure magic. His audacious no-look six not only defied cricketing convention but also sent shockwaves across the cricketing world, leaving fans and commentators in awe.
Rashid Khan ignites the crowd with a no-look six
In the dying overs, with excitement reaching fever pitch, Rashid was on strike facing the fast bowler Naveed Zadran. What happened next will be etched in memory: Rashid, known for his fearless innovation, premeditated a dazzling scoop-uppercut but, in a flash of unpredictability, opted for a shot without even looking at the ball. With the crowd holding its breath, Rashid backed away mid-stance and, eyes averted, guided the ball over the third man boundary for a six.
The stadium erupted. The Afghanistan Cricket Board quickly shared the highlight, aptly captioning it: “Rashid Khan hasn’t looked at it, because he has let the world look at it.” Social media lit up with replays of the shot—an audacious blend of nerve and skill rarely witnessed in professional cricket. This no-look stroke didn’t just fetch six valuable runs for his team; it symbolized Rashid’s unconstrained approach, blending entertainment with effectiveness. As the final overs ticked by, this jaw-dropping moment had already become the talk of the town, cementing its place among the league’s most unforgettable highlights.

All-round brilliance secures the win for Speen Ghar Tigers against Mis Ainak Knights
Riding high on Rashid’s heroics, Speen Ghar Tigers put up a commanding total of 191/6. Hazratullah Zazai’s explosive 50 off 25 balls and Rahmat Shah’s stylish 49 anchored the innings. In the closing stages, Rashid’s gutsy cameo (24* off 14) added the decisive flourish, pushing the Tigers to a formidable score.
The Knights, facing the daunting task of chasing 192, stumbled under relentless pressure. While Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Wafiullah Tarakhil fought valiantly, frequent wickets and a climbing required run rate derailed their pursuit. Zubaid Akbari turned the game decisively in the Tigers’ favor, scalping 4 for 14 in a match-winning spell. Rashid, as captain, provided valuable support with the ball, squeezing the run flow and displaying his customary composure in the field.
