प्लेयर ऑफ द सीरीजमोहम्मद नवाज
So that ends a very one-sided final, totally against the odds, which had predicted an exciting tussle between two really good teams. But come the big day, Pakistan were too good for their opponents. Afghanistan might put it down to inexperience but they need to develop their mental fortitude sooner or later. This was the final series before the Asia Cup, which kicks off on Tuesday, 9th September, 2025. Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh come in on the verge of wins while Afghanistan and UAE have had a series to remember and will hope that they put in a better display come the bigger tournament. That's all we have for you from this match and series. Afghanistan don't have time for too much thinking as they are forced to have a quick turnaround. They inaugurate the 2025 Asia Cup against Hong Kong, China in Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday, 9th September, 2025. It will be interesting to see what kind of pitches are dished out in that tournament. The first ball will be bowled at 2.30 pm GMT but our buildup will begin well in advance. So do tune in early. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
The victorious skipper of Pakistan, SALMAN AGHA, says that it was kind of a wicket where 130-140 would have been challenging and once they got in, they knew it would be difficult for the Afghan batters. Mentions that Mohammad Nawaz has been outstanding whenever called upon whether it is with the bat or ball or even in the field as well. Says that on social media everyone was saying to play two spinners, but he reckons that they will play two spinners only when they need to, according to the conditions and it worked out here. Tells that initially, Afghanistan was supposed to play in Pakistan but the hosts changed the series to come here and he is very happy with the performance. Adds that it is good preparation before Asia Cup. Says that Pakistan have been playing good cricket as a team since the Bangladesh series and is looking forward to continue in the same fashion.
The captain of Afghanistan, RASHID KHAN, reflects that it didn't feel like a 150-plus wicket. Admits that his side just did not play the brand of cricket that it wanted to play. Highlights that Afghanistan lost five wickets in the restrictions and he also points out that he didn't expect the track to spin and grip much. Says in T20 cricket you hardly get a time to make a comeback. Adds that they got a chance to understand the conditions. Says they haven't played much T20I cricket in the last 8-9 months but this has been a good preparation and learning experience for them before the Asia Cup.
Pakistan's MOHAMMAD NAWAZ HAS BEEN ADJUDGED THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH AND THE SERIES. He took 10 wickets in the series, at an average of 11.7 and an economy of 6.88, while he also scored 120 runs in the series, at an average of 30 and a strike rate of 133.33. Come to this match, Nawaz played a cameo of 25 (21) while with the ball, picked up his maiden T20I 5-fer, with figures of 5/19 in 4 overs, which also included a hattrick and a double-wicket maiden. Mohammad says that the plan was very simple, to hit the right areas. Adds that when he batted he assessed the conditions and knew what he has to do with the ball. Mentions that after bowling the first two balls, he saw it was turning and tried to keep at the middle and leg stump line. Says that he is feeling good and is trying to do whatever the captain and coach are telling him to do. Ends by saying that when he came out to bat, they needed a partnership and he is happy to contribute with the bat to get his side to a respectable total.
... THE PRESENTATION ...
Don't want to use the 'C' word but Afghanistan are quickly becoming that team which is suffering in big matches. Be it that 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal against South Africa or this final here, they just tend to cave in. Their bowlers had actually done a decent job, keeping Pakistan to 141/8, with skipper Rashid Khan leading the way with 3 wickets, in his 100th T20I. Unfortunately for the skipper, match number 100 turns out to be a forgetful one. Please stay tuned for the presentation.
The Pakistan team is doing a lap of honour to thank the loyal fans. This bowling display nearly reminds us of the Pakistan team from the 90s. That was primarily during the ODIs, where Pakistan literally made Sharjah their home. And this tournament, it was no different. They bowled well in nearly all matches and just reserved their best for the final. Shaheen Afridi set the tone in his opening over and once spin started to take wickets, the seamer was not needed at all! In a total of 15.5 overs, pace bowled just 2 overs, as the Team In Green just made excellent use of the spinning conditions. Mohammad Nawaz showed his improvement from the 2025 PSL, giving more loop and flight to the ball, allowing it to turn, occasionally darting in arm balls as well. He picked up his maiden 5-wicket haul in T20Is, which also included a hat-trick, which was the first by a spinner from Pakistan and just the third overall from his nation. It was a total team effort as the others supported him well but Nawaz' fire in the middle just killed the chase in a jiffy.
A forgetful night for Afghanistan. At least, with the bat. 142 was not a massive total to chase, but the wickets just kept tumbling. Just two batters reached double digits in an innings which had 3 ducks. The highest partnership of the innings was just 21, which came for the second wicket, between Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran. Once Atal was dismissed, the innings just folded up.
Sharjah is shell shocked. There are fans supporting both, Pakistan and Afghanistan but this is something which no one would have expected. A drubbing for the Afghans, losing by 75 runs, and the only positive for them is that it is not their lowest T20I score. It is their second lowest score, after getting bowled out for 56 against South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal. So is this a team which stutters in big matches? Overall, this is the second lowest T20I total successfully defended in Sharjah but in a night match, this is definitely the lowest.

सुफियान मुकीम To अल्लाह गजनफर OUT!
OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Pakistan have absolutely decimated Afghanistan in the final. Muqueem bowls it flat and just outside off, a googly it seems, off the hand. The ball skids through the surface and arrives quicker than Allah Mohammad would have anticipated. Swings his bat wildly at it, to hit it over the off side, but gets a thick outside edge and the ball travels flat towards Abrar Ahmed who is stationed at short third. Abrar just crouches low and takes the catch around the chest. Sufiyan Muqeem finishes off with 2 wickets to his name. And with that, PAKISTAN WIN THE TRI-SERIES IN THE UAE BY 75 RUNS!

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Just the final rites being read now. Muqeem too, joins the wicket-taking bandwagon for Pakistan! He keeps it slow, full and just outside the off stump line. Noor Ahmad without much footwork, tries to go for a big-booming golfer's swing, to sail it over long off. Only manages to slice it off the toe end of the bat. The ball sails over backward point and Sufiyan's spin mate, Abrar Ahmed, takes a good running catch to his left.

मोहम्मद नवाज To राशिद खान OUT!
OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! All going Pakistan's way in the finale! Nawaz is smart as he dishes out a flighted delivery, on a tad fuller length this time. But on this occasion, he keeps the ball well away from the batter's reach, and invites Rashid to go big on the flight. Rashid falls prey on the flight. Takes a good stride forward and tries to hoist it over long off, but due to the ball holding and gripping off the deck, he mistimes it and slices it high up, just over the cover region. Now, this should have been a straightforward catch for Salman Agha stationed at cover, but Mohammad Haris rushes forward and there is a late call from Salman for the catch, but Haris keeps running. They both collide, but somehow, Salman maintains his cool and takes it despite colliding with the keeper. Both seem to be in some pain but eventually get on their feet. Mohammad Nawaz has his five-for and what a sensational spell of bowling this has been from him. Rashid Khan departs for 17 (18) and Afghanistan are 55/8.

DRINKS BREAK. Phew. Let's take a pause, shall we? What on earth is happening? If we thought South Africa getting bowled out for 72 batting just a shade over their 20 overs in an ODI was bad enough, this is a nightmarish scenario for the Afghans. Yes, batting second was supposed to be difficult here but this is way beyond their expectation. They have tried to hang in but just not been able to read Pakistan's spinners. Be it the leg spin of Abrar Ahmed, or the off spin of Saim Ayub or the left-arm spin of Mohammad Nawaz - they have just been bamboozled against all three styles of spin. With 98 runs needed from 60 balls, in a T20I scenario, it seems to be definitely gettable. But on this pitch and these conditions, seems to be too big an ask. Still, if the Afghans can manage one good partnership, you never know. At the same stage, Pakistan were 61/3, so the Afghans are not a million runs behind. Abrar Ahmed is back on. 2-0-15-1 so far.

OUT! STUMPED! HAT-TRICK FOR MOHAMMAD NAWAZ! Becomes the third bowler after Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Hasnain and first spinner from Pakistan to take a hat-trick in T20Is! Flighted, outside off, Ibrahim Zadran lunges to defend but the ball pitches and spins away, past the outside edge. The keeper, Mohammad Haris, collects and straightaway starts to appeal and celebrate. Nearly half the Pakistan side is at the umpire, appealing for the caught behind, but he calmly shakes his head. But here comes another twist. After collecting the ball, Haris has actually dislodged the bails and appealed for a stumping as well! The square leg umpire refers it upstairs and the side-on angle, from the off side, shows that Ibrahim's foot is outside the crease! History for Nawaz as Ibrahim Zadran departs for 9 (15) and Afghanistan are 32/5, needing another 110 from 77 balls!
Is that a hattrick? Is that a hattrick? Pakistan appeal loudly for caught behind but it is denied. However, the square leg umpire is checking for the stumping now. Referred upstairs. Oh dear... the foot is out of the crease!
Afghanistan need 110 from 78 balls. Pakistan scored 95 in their last 78. Right. here comes the man on the hat-trick.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Two in two for Mohammad Nawaz! Afghanistan are derailing pretty early in this chase here. Quicker and shorter, outside off, Azmatullah Omarzai goes back for the cut but only manages a thick outside edge.

The ball pitches and then straightens, to catch the batter in his crease as he comes half forward to flick. He misses and is hit right in front of the stumps. Nawaz appeals for LBW and the umpire thinks for a while, primarily regarding the pitching of the ball. Eventually, he concludes that the ball pitched in line and raises his finger! Rasooli departs for 0 (5) and Afghanistan are 29/3, needing another 113 from 85 balls!

DROPPED! Quicker and shorter, outside off, Ibrahim looks to punch it through the off side but does not move his feet. Gets a thick outside edge which shoots quickly onto the pads of the keeper, who is unable to collect. The batters take a single off the deflection.

अबरार अहमद To सेदिकुल्लाह अटल OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That's such a tame dismissal. Almost a replica of the way Saim Ayub got out earlier in the match, against Noor. A touch short of full, outside off, Atal looks to ease this through the off side, but neither does the drive go in the gap, nor is it hit aerially over the fielders. It ends up going straight to Faheem Ashraf at cover, who takes the dolly. Atal departs for 13 (15) and Afghanistan are 28/2, needing another 114 from 92 balls!

FOUR! Up and over! A leg spinner, outside off, Sediqullah Atal comes down the track, is not to the pitch of the ball but still, goes through with his slog. Gets it off the inner half of the bat and manages to get it in the vacant area near mid-wicket. The ball races away towards the ropes and two fielders track it down - Faheem Ashraf from deep square leg and Shaheen Afridi from wide long on. In the end, Afridi dives to try and stop the ball but takes it with him into the ropes.

A ripper to end the over! Landed around middle and leg, Sediqullah stays back to defend but the ball pitches, straightens, beats the outside edge and just goes over the top of the stumps!

FOUR! Was that a chance? Short, around middle, Atal quickly swivels onto his back foot and pulls it aerially. Hasan Nawaz charges in to his left from deep mid-wicket but the ball dips onto him, lands just in front of him and unfortunately for the fielder, goes past his body into the ropes behind.

Massive appeal for caught behind! Not out, says the umpire! On a good length, outside off, Sediqullah Atal pokes at it but the ball moves away viciously after pitching. Seems like it hit something and Afridi starts to celebrate but the umpire is firm and shakes his head, when Pakistan appeal for the catch.

Another quick single! A short ball, around middle and leg, Ibrahim Zadran dabs it towards square leg and hares off for the single.
The lowest total defended successfully in a T20I in Sharjah is 132. That was by Afghanistan themselves, against Scotland. way back in 2013. But that was in a day-night game. In a night game, the lowest total defended successfully in Sharjah is 149, by Kenya, against Afghanistan, also in 2013. So either way, one record is going to be broken tonight - either Pakistan will end up defending the lowest first innings total in Sharjah in a night game, or the run of teams batting first and winning the match in this series will be stopped.

Down the leg side, Atal cannot get his flick away, getting hit on the pads instead.
That was a mixed over from Afridi. He started off poorly, unable to control his line or length but towards the end of the over, found his mark. Meanwhile, in Southampton, England have crushed South Africa by a whopping 342 runs in the 3rd ODI, bowling out the Proteas for just 72 after making 414. It was a total off day for the rainbow nation with only 3 batters manging to reach double digits. Jofra Archer bowled with steam to pick up 4 wickets while Adil Rashid took 3. Talking about spin, here's Abrar Ahmed.

OUT! CAUGHT! Ohhh.. that is just catching practice. On a length, outside off, angling away, Rahmanullah Gurbaz actually plays a nothing shot. He wants to steer it towards deep third but perhaps forgets that Pakistan have kept a slip in place. Ends up guiding it straight to Sahibzada Farhan at wide first slip and he makes no mistake. Gurbaz departs for 5 (4) and Afghanistan are 7/1, needing another 135 from 115 balls!

FOUR! The first boundary of the chase! But that should have been stopped. Full, on middle, Rahmanullah Gurbaz flicks it through mid-wicket. Faheem Ashraf gives it a good chase from deep backward square leg and even gets to the ball with a slide to his left. However, while trying to flick the ball back in, he just misses it and the ball meets the ropes!

WIDE. Loose from Shaheen but a bit of swing on offer. The radar is offline, as the ball lands outside leg stump and swings further down, past the attempted flick of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Good diving take by the keeper, Mohammad Haris, flinging himself to his left.
