Eighteen-year-old opening batter Hassan Eisakhil greeted his father Mohammad Nabi into the attack with a six during a Shpageeza Cricket League match at Kabul International Stadium on Tuesday.
Eisakhil slog swept Nabi's off-spin from around the wicket over deep midwicket for a maximum during his 36-ball 52, which included five fours and two sixes. However, Nabi had the last laugh as he hit the winning runs for Mis Ainak Knights, ending the match with a six off Qais Ahmed.
Look dad, that's how it's done ✅

Eisakhil had top-scored for Amo Sharks, which put on 162 in 19.4 overs after electing to bat. Nabi went for 12 runs in the only over he bowled, and remained unbeaten on six runs off three balls.
The 40-year-old Nabi had announced his decision to retire from One-Day Internationals after the ICC Champions Trophy this year, but later said he was 'still thinking' about his future in the format as he harbours dreams of playing international cricket with his son.
'These might not be my last ODIs, I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. I've discussed with the senior players and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we'll see. It will depend on my fitness,' Nabi had told the International Cricket Council (ICC).
'It's my dream [to play international cricket with his son]. Hopefully we can do it. He is doing very well … he is a hard worker and I'm also pushing him to do work. I want him to make his own goals, if you want to get to be a high-level cricketer, you have to work hard. It's not enough to make 50 or 60, you have to score 100-plus. He's listening and pushing all the time. When he can talk to me, I try to give him advice to give him confidence for the game,' Nabi had added.
Though Eisakhil is yet to make his international debut, the right-handed batter has played four First-Class matches and 25 T20 games. He also featured in the ICC Under-19 World Cup last year, scoring 43 runs in four matches for Afghanistan.
