A high-voltage clash awaits at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium as Pakistan lock horns with Afghanistan in the grand finale of the UAE T20 Tri-Series 2025. The toss went Pakistan captain Salman Agha’s way, and he elected to bat first — a decision influenced by the trend of all six games in the tournament so far being won by the side setting the target.
Both teams arrive in red-hot form, with identical records of three wins from four league outings. Pakistan, however, secured the top spot on the points table courtesy of a superior net run rate, while Afghanistan finished a close second to book their spot in the title clash.
Afghanistan heads into the final on the back of a close-fought win against hosts United Arab Emirates. Batting first, Afghanistan posted a competitive total of 170/4, with Ibrahim Zadran leading the way with a crucial 48 off 35 balls, earning him the Player of the Match award. Despite a spirited chase, UAE fell just short, ending at 166/5, handing Afghanistan a narrow four-run victory.
Pakistan, meanwhile, had a dominant outing in their last group fixture. Batting first, they put up 171/5 against UAE, thanks to a blistering unbeaten 77 off 44 balls by Fakhar Zaman. Their bowlers backed up the batting performance effectively, restricting UAE to 140/7 to secure a 31-run win.
