UAE vs PAK full scorecard
Pakistan, with the help of another clinical outing from their bowlers and brilliant batting performances from Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz, thrashed UAE in the second match of the T20 Tri-series by 31 runs to keep their winning streak intact in the series. The hosts UAE will now face Afghanistan next on Monday with hopes of keeping their chances of qualifying for the finals alive.
Earlier, Pakistan skipper Salman Agha won the toss for the second time in a row in the tri-series and opted to bat first again. But it was UAE who struck first after Junaid Siddique castled Sahibzada Farhan (8) in the very first over. Fakhar Zaman (6) followed suit and was bowled by Haider Ali three overs later.
Meanwhile, youngster Saim Ayub continued to attack from one end and reached his fourth T20I fifty in just 25 balls. But he was unable to get support from the other end as skipper Salman Agha (5) became the next Pakistani batter to depart without reaching double digits.
Saghir Khan finally ended Saim Ayub’s gritty innings of 69 to keep Pakistan under pressure. Hasan Nawaz then took the baton from Ayub, played a fiery innings, and brought up his second T20I fifty in just 24 balls. He struck one more six after that but was then caught behind off Haider Ali.
Mohammad Haris (1) then lost his wicket to Junaid Siddique as UAE continued to fight back. Mohammad Nawaz (25) played a fiery cameo before being dismissed by Saghir Khan. Hasan Ali (8) lost his wicket to Junaid in the final over, but Faheem Ashraf (16) ensured Pakistan finished with a big total of 208 all out after 20 overs.
In reply, UAE got off to a fiery start, adding 39 runs in the first four overs before Mohammad Nawaz got the better of Mohammad Zohaib (13) to hand Pakistan their first wicket of the night. Skipper Mohammad Waseem (33) was playing a brilliant knock until he lost his patience and ran himself out with just one ball left in the powerplay, before Ethan D’Souza (3) was caught on the final ball as UAE finished the powerplay at 53 for 3.
Alishan Sharafu (3) was the next batter to depart after being dismissed by Saim Ayub as UAE reached 75 for 4 at the halfway mark. They were not given any breathing space as, in the 11th over, Mohammad Nawaz dismissed Rahul Chopra (11) to send half the UAE team packing.
Dhruv Parashar (15) added 54 runs for the sixth wicket with Asif Khan before losing his wicket to Salman Mirza. Asif Khan (77) kept fighting till the end, but it was not enough as UAE finished their innings at 176 for 8 after 20 overs and fell 31 short of the target.
