Pakistan win by 31 runs!

Faheem Ashraf closed out the innings, conceding 11 runs and effecting a run-out. Parashar fought hard, striking a brave four and finishing unbeaten on 18, but the target was well out of reach. Haider Ali’s dismissal via a sharp run-out ended any slim hopes for UAE. Pakistan’s bowling depth once again proved decisive, sealing back-to-back victories by the same margin of 31 runs.

Owais: “Rvel, what do you think about Salman Mirza? A justified replacement for Abbas Afridi who can tonk a few as well?” Amir Sohail: “Played Cricket with Salman Mirza (In Tape ball Tournaments). He usually bowled very fast.” Junaid: “Fielding has been the major difference between these two teams.”

Shaheen closes his spell with brilliance!

Shaheen Shah Afridi finished with superb figures of 4-0-23-1, showing his class at the death. Haider Ali tried to lift the scoring with a flashy cut over point for four, but otherwise, Shaheen kept things tight with yorkers and clever variations. Parashar and Haider managed to rotate strike, but UAE are left with a mammoth 43 needed off the final over. The chase looks all but out of reach.

Hafuz Faheem: “World keeps screaming for Abrar + Muqeem, but selectors act like they’re waiting for aliens to approve the playing XI.”

Shaheen Afridi delivers a killer blow, removing the set batter Sharafu!

Pakistan’s spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi turned the game further in his side’s favour with a brilliant over. After keeping it tight with yorkers and slower balls, he deceived Alishan Sharafu with a clever off-cutter. The UAE skipper, who fought valiantly for 68 off 51 balls, could only find Agha Salman at mid-off with a stunning leaping catch. With Sharafu gone, UAE’s hopes have almost evaporated as they now need 59 from the final 18 deliveries.

Sharafu showcased his brilliance with a superb upper-cut over the keeper and third man for four, taking his score to 67 off 49 balls. Parashar rotated the strike with a couple of singles, but the required run rate has now ballooned beyond 15. With 62 needed from 24 balls, UAE need a miracle partnership to stay alive in the chase.

Abrar Ahmed picks up his fourth wicket to cripple UAE’s chase!

Abrar continued his dream spell with another superb over. Sharafu tried to keep the scoreboard ticking with a couple of singles, but Kaushik struggled before eventually falling to Abrar’s guile, caught by Faheem Ashraf. With figures of 4/9 in four overs, Abrar has been unplayable, mixing pace and flight brilliantly. Sharafu remains the lone warrior on 61, but the asking rate has climbed steeply to 14 an over.

Sharafu explodes with back-to-back sixes to keep UAE alive!

After losing quick wickets in the previous over, Sharafu lifted the spirits with two massive sixes off Saim Ayub, dancing down the track and striking cleanly over long-off and straight down the ground. He moved into the 50s with authority, anchoring the chase. Kaushik added a single, but the over truly belonged to Sharafu’s power-hitting. With 14 runs coming from it, UAE’s hopes hinge heavily on their set batter, who now sits unbeaten on 59 from 42 balls.

Two balls later, Rahul Chopra was trapped lbw after a prolonged appeal, leaving UAE in deep trouble. Abrar, with figures of 3/5 in just three overs, is spinning a web around the batters. Sharafu is still holding one end with 46, but the chase has been derailed with quick wickets.

End of Over 12: UAE 83/2

Asif Khan announces his arrival with a towering six off Saim Ayub!

UAE kept the chase moving with steady rotation as Sharafu and Asif Khan picked up singles early in the over. Sharafu continued to anchor, moving to 45, while Asif, after settling in, pounced on a half-volley and launched it straight over long-off for six.

D’Souza cleared his front leg but failed to get the power and elevation, finding Saim Ayub at deep square who took a sharp catch. Just as UAE looked to accelerate, they’ve been pegged back. Sharafu remains on 41 off 33, carrying the hopes of his side.

Saim Ayub keeps it tight as required rate climbs past 11.

Part-time spin from Saim Ayub did the job, allowing only four runs in his first over. Sharafu tried to break free but couldn’t find the gaps, while D’Souza rotated the strike with a couple of singles.

Nawaz keeps UAE in check with turn and accuracy.

Mohammad Nawaz bowled a testing over, giving away just five runs including a wide. Sharafu looked to keep things moving with singles, while D’Souza struggled to find fluency, missing a scoop attempt and being tied down by Nawaz’s variation in flight and spin. UAE remain steady at 54/1 after 9 overs but the required rate continues to climb.

Salman Agha bowled a steady over, giving away only five singles. D’Souza tried to be aggressive with a slog sweep but failed to connect properly, while Sharafu looked to rotate strike sensibly with controlled strokes.

UAE: 41/0 | CRR: 6.83 | RRR: 9.35 | Need 131 from 84 balls

Sharafu and Waseem counter Nawaz with stylish boundaries.

Mohammad Nawaz was welcomed with attacking intent. Waseem opened the over with a cracking cut past backward point for four, while Sharafu played a superb inside-out drive over cover to add another boundary. Though Nawaz pulled it back with a couple of dot balls, a fumble in the field allowed Sharafu to collect two more runs off the last ball.

Shaheen Afridi keeps it tight but UAE continue to rotate the strike.

He cracked a superb backfoot punch through point for four and kept the scoreboard ticking with a single off the last ball. Muhammad Waseem, however, was kept quiet with three dot balls before finally rotating the strike. UAE are off to a steady start at 12/0 after 2 overs.

UAE ended the first over at 6/0, with Sharafu showing intent and Afridi already getting some swing off the pitch.

PAK: 171/5 | CRR: 8.55

Fakhar Zaman unleashes five consecutive boundaries in the final over, powering Pakistan past 170.

Muhammad Jawadullah had a nightmare finish as Fakhar Zaman went berserk. After starting with a brace through extra cover, Zaman cut loose — smashing five boundaries in a row. He showcased variety: a scoop over the keeper, thick edges flying past third man, and brute force through cover. In the process, Zaman raced to an unbeaten 77 off just 44 balls, turning Pakistan’s innings into a competitive total. Nawaz remained unbeaten on 37, playing the supporting role in a game-changing partnership. Pakistan closed at 171/5, thanks to Zaman’s stunning finish in the death overs.

Fakhar Zaman smashes consecutive boundaries to bring up his fifty, while UAE’s fielding lapses continue.

Muhammad Jawadullah’s over went for 11 runs, largely thanks to Fakhar Zaman’s brilliance. He punished two loose deliveries with back-to-back boundaries — one carved past point and the other powered to deep midwicket — to raise a well-constructed half-century off 37 balls. Nawaz rotated strike but also benefitted from a leg bye, while Zaman too survived a missed opportunity to put away a full toss, managing only another leg bye.

Mohammad Nawaz breaks free with a big six, while Pakistan survive two dropped catches in the same over.

Haider Ali’s fourth over turned eventful as Pakistan added 11 runs. It started with a lucky bye past the stumps for Zaman, before Nawaz launched a massive six over midwicket to ease the pressure. Both Nawaz and Zaman then rotated strike with singles. However, the highlight of the over was Pakistan’s fortune — Zaman was dropped at long-on and Nawaz was also put down at deep midwicket, adding to UAE’s frustration in the field. Pakistan moved to 108/5 in 16 overs, with Nawaz showing signs of aggression and Zaman still anchoring the innings.

PAK: 92/5 | CRR: 6.57

Haider Ali keeps things tight with another miserly over.

Haider Ali continued his excellent spell, giving away just 3 runs in the over. Zaman flicked a couple of singles while Nawaz managed one, but both were troubled by sharp turn and bounce, with Nawaz in particular struggling against the movement.

Zaman finds the boundary to keep Pakistan’s hopes alive.

PAK: 73/3 | CRR: 8.11

Zaman edges closer to control with a boundary as Pakistan keep the runs ticking.

Dhruv Parashar bowled with variety but leaked a boundary first ball when Zaman guided a short, wide delivery past backward point, helped by sloppy fielding. Haris found it harder to get away, playing out a couple of dots, before rotating the strike. Zaman, looking more assured, added a couple of singles to keep Pakistan’s momentum steady. After 9 overs, Pakistan are 73/3, with Zaman on 23 and Haris on 14.

With Haris finding form and Zaman steady at the other end, Pakistan moved to 66/3 after 8 overs.

End of Over 7: Pakistan 57/3

Over 7: 1 2 0 4 0 0

PAK: 57/3 | CRR: 8.14

Haris finds the boundary but Pakistan remain shaky at 57/3.
