Pakistan vs UAE T20 Tri-series full scorecard
UAE’s middle-order troubles in batting were once again on display as, in Match 5 of the UAE Tri-series, they failed to chase down the 172-run target against Pakistan, who won the match by 31 runs and confirmed their place in the final of the tri-series while also taking Afghanistan along with them. So far, all the five matches in the series have been won by the team batting first.
Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. They got off to a good start but lost a wicket in the third over in the form of Shaibzada Farhan (16), who was dismissed by Dhruv Parashar. His opening partner Saim Ayub (12) was also unable to do much and lost his wicket to Junaid Siddique two overs later. Md Rohid then removed Pakistan's skipper Salman Agha (7) in the next over as Pakistan finished the powerplay at 50 for 3.
Md Haris (14) was the next batter to depart after losing his wicket to Haider Ali, who then removed Hasan Nawaz (4) to send half the Pakistani team back to the pavilion.
Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman completed his fifty and stitched a crucial sixth-wicket stand for Pakistan with Md Nawaz to keep his team fighting in the game.
In the end, Pakistan finished the innings on a high note as Fakhar Zaman (77 not out) and Md Nawaz (37 not out) added an unbeaten 91 runs for the sixth wicket, including 42 runs in the last two overs, to help Pakistan finish the innings at 171 for 5 after 20 overs.
In reply, UAE started the innings in a steady manner, adding 41 runs without loss in the powerplay, but it did not last long as, right after the powerplay, Abrar Ahmed removed Md Waseem (19) to hand Pakistan their first wicket in the match.
Ethan D'Souza (9) was the next batter to depart after losing his wicket to Md Nawaz. Abrar Ahmed then removed Asif Khan (7), Rahul Chopra (0), and Harshit Kaushik in his last two overs to put the hosts under tremendous pressure in the chase.
Shaheen Afridi then removed the dangerous Alishan Sharafu (68) to put Pakistan in complete control of the match. Haider Ali (12) ran himself out in the final over as UAE finished their innings at 140 for 7, handing Pakistan an easy 31-run victory.
