With an emphatic victory over Japan in the Asia-EAP Qualifier tournament, UAE has secured a final spot in the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2026. They defeated Japan by eight wickets to book a confirmed place in next year&rsquo;s tournament. Besides UAE, Nepal and Oman have also qualified for the tournament that is scheduled in India and Sri Lanka next year.

Coming out to bat, Japan managed to score only 117 runs in the first. Their batting never looked in control throughout the innings, as Haider Ali and other UAE bowlers kept exposing their technical problems by taking regular wickets. Haider Ali remained the star bowler for the UAE, as he picked 3 wickets while giving away just 20 runs in the first innings.

The chase of 117 proved relatively easy for the UAE in the second innings. The opening duo of Alishan Sharafu and Muhammad Waseem made things easy for the UAE by building a strong partnership at the top. Due to this, UAE chased the target easily while losing just 2 wickets. With this win, they booked their spot in the next year&rsquo;s T20 World Cup alongside Nepal and Oman from Asia.

Apart from event hosts India and Sri Lanka, the top seven teams from the 2024 T20 World Cup have automatically qualified for the mega tournament. These teams include Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, South Africa, United States of America and West Indies.

The other three teams that have also qualified for the tournament include New Zealand, Pakistan and Ireland. These teams didn&rsquo;t have a great outing in last year&rsquo;s T20 World Cup, however, they still managed to qualify for next year&rsquo;s tournament based on their position in the global T20I rankings.

UAE has secured a confirmed spot for 2026 T20 World Cup. They defeated Japan in a grand fashion to book the mega-tournament spot.

UAE Complete Lineup for 2026 T20 World Cup

The fusion of Indian and Pakistani players at the heart of UAE cricket is remarkable. It is a great example of how rivals can still be friends if the theatrics of politics is eradicated. Everyone in South Asia knows that India and Pakistan are at a crossroads only due to petty politics. If it is kept aside, peace and harmony can prevail among the people. Emirates cricket is a prime example of that, as it consists of many players who have roots in both countries.

It is safe to say that UAE cricket is heavily influenced by the blend of Indian and Pakistani players. However, the surprising thing is that they have no rivalry with each other. In fact, these players have grown up like a family and have achieved so much with each other. Many of them are now playing at the international level by embracing harmony. They pay zero attention to the politics between the two countries, as they know it only serves a particular section of people.

This is the reality of South Asia that it is divided only on the basis of politics. The people living in this region want to interact with each other, as they hope for a better future where things can go back to normal.

The UAE cricket team is a prime example of that. Players like Junaid Siddique and Simranjeet Singh exhibit how a Pakistani and an Indian can live with each other in harmony. They have not allowed the recent tensions between India and Pakistan to spill over into their relations. Both players have participated in this year&rsquo;s Asia Cup. They wore the colors of the UAE, showcasing a clear brotherhood in the team.

The ace pacemen of the UAE, Junaid Siddique, hails from Multan, Pakistan. He made his debut as a UAE cricketer in October 2019. Since then, he has represented UAE in various international series and tournaments. He is currently leading the pace attack of the team, as his figures in the ACC Men&rsquo;s Asia Cup 2025 are quite impressive.

He picked up a four-wicket haul against Oman in the Group A clash. Then, coming into the big game against Pakistan, he once again made his presence felt by marking the remarkable figures of 4-0-18-4. His bowling in the Powerplay was especially impressive, as he took the early wickets of Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan in the first two overs.

Now, coming to the story of Simranjeet Singh, he is yet another inspiring cricketer hailing from Ludhiana, India. He always wanted to represent India, but somehow, his luck took a turn, giving him a chance in UAE cricket. Simranjeet also let everyone know how skillful he is in the match against Pakistan. The Ludhiana-born cricketer exposed the weaknesses of the current Pakistani batting lineup. He finished the match with great figures of 3 for 26, including the prized wicket of Fakhar Zaman.

Players like Muhammad Waseem, Rahul Chopra, and Dhruv Parashar also represent the deep blend of Indian and Pakistani players in UAE cricket. They have played plenty of cricket with each other, hence they have grown like a family in the UAE.

&quot;We weren&#39;t talking of that [politics]. We&#39;ve played too much cricket with each other. There&#39;s no Indian or Pakistani. We are playing for the UAE. We play as a family, and live as a family.&quot; said Muhammad Waseem at the post-match press conference.

Thus, the moral of the story is that if politics is kept aside, South Asian people can easily thrive with each other. The people living in this region have loads of talent. The cricketers playing for the UAE let everyone know sports can set aside political differences. Despite hailing from rival countries, they have never allowed the dirt of politics to come into their way. This represents a perfect spirit of sports, which is, unfortunately, currently lacking in some top teams.

The fusion of Indian and Pakistani players in UAE cricket is worth watching. It is a team that represents a great example of the true spirit of the sport.

How India and Pakistan Influences the UAE Cricket

Pakistan&rsquo;s coach Mike Hesson feels confident in his team after the tri-series triumph. He believes this Tri-series win is enough to set Pakistan in momentum.

In the UAE Tri-series final, Pakistan played exceptionally and swept aside <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-crushes-afghanistan-to-lift-tri-series-trophy-in-sharjah/1381-2-0">Afghanistan by 75 runs</a> in Sharjah. Mohammad Nawaz completed a hat-trick and a career-best five-wicket haul.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&ldquo;We have beaten Afghanistan in conditions that suited their spin attack, which was a real confidence builder,&rdquo; Hesson said on Monday. &ldquo;Heading into the Asia Cup, this was very important for us.&rdquo;

Since Hesson&rsquo;s appointment as white-ball coach in May, Pakistan have recorded a 3-0 home sweep of Bangladesh, edged West Indies 2-1 in Florida, and lost just once in five tri-series games.&nbsp;

Hesson, who guided New Zealand to the 2015 World Cup final, highlighted the competitive nature of the upcoming tournament. &ldquo;An eight-team Asia Cup is great for Asian cricket. It&rsquo;s a true test, it expands the game in the region, and allows us to see players we don&rsquo;t face often.&rdquo;

Pakistan is in Group A with India, Oman, and the UAE. The biggest clash of the Asia Cup will be on September 14 when India face Pakistan. Hesson stressed focus: &ldquo;The key is not to get distracted by external pressures.&rdquo;&nbsp;

On September 28, the Asia Cup final will take place in Dubai, and the fans are all eager to know which two teams will be in the final.

Pakistan coach Mike Hesson says tri-series win lifts team confidence ahead of Asia Cup, praising Mohammad Nawaz’s standout performance in Sharjah.

Tri-Series Win Sets Pakistan’s Confidence Ahead of Asia Cup, Says Hesson

It is not a matter of a two-match relationship, but the growth of the journey between Mirpur and Dubai. The UAE 2016 was an expanding party that could play fearless cricket, but not as deeply as India. India, however, was a giant that had MS Dhoni as a leader; other stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli ruled the field with their own whims.

In 2025, things have shifted. Cricket in the UAE has gotten empowered on its part; it has been more prominent, with improved facilities, and more skilled players too, who have proved their ability to punch bigger than their weight. India still has been a favourite, but without the presence of the Dhoni years, and their young performers will have to prove that they can continue with the tradition.

<h2>What Happened in 2016?</h2>

The 2016 Asia Cup was a one-sided affair. India rolled with tight bowling, restricting the UAE to only 81 runs in 20 overs. India showed a dominant performance by its pace attack, in which Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya dictated with the ball. India had an easy time with the chase using the bat and won the match within 10.1 overs.

In the case of the UAE, their star was Amjad Javed, who performed well in spite of the challenges. But there was too great a distance in rank. The game was a symbol of the dominance of India and the fight by the UAE to gain recognition in the cricketing world.

<h3>Key Players Then vs Now</h3>

2016 Key Players

<ul>
	<li>
	India: Virat Kohli (consistent run machine), Rohit Sharma (power at the top), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (deadly with the ball). 
	&nbsp;
	</li>
	<li>
	UAE: Amjad Javed (all-rounder), Mohammad Naveed (pace), Shaiman Anwar (middle-order stability).
	</li>
</ul>

2025 Key Players

<ul>
	<li>
	India: Suryakumar Yadav (finisher in T20s), Shubman Gill (anchor at the top), Arshdeep Singh (death-over specialist).
	</li>
	<li>
	UAE: Muhammad Waseem (explosive opener), Zahoor Khan (experienced bowler), Vriitya Aravind (young wicketkeeper-batter with flair).
	</li>
</ul>

The comparison highlights how far the UAE has come. They now have match-winners who can turn games, while India leans on its younger generation to step up.

<h2>Who Will Win in Dubai?</h2>

The outcome was never doubtful in 2016; India trampled the UAE without trying. But 2025 has a hint of uncertainty. On paper, India remains the favourite by far, but the UAE is hungry and better skilled in its field of expertise, which makes this conflict more interesting than ever.

Indian bowlers would be put under pressure when Muhammad Waseem shoots early. Conversely, when the top order of India clicks, the game might have a short ending, as it happened in Mirpur. It will be the focus on attacking by Suryakumar Yadav and bowling by Arshdeep Singh, and fearless batting by the UAE team.

The Dubai confrontation is not so much a mismatch but a challenge to the extent to which the UAE has developed internationally in the field of cricket. Although it is still favoured over India, the rise of the UAE means that more people will watch this game with anticipation than ever.

It is not a mere win-or-lose dispute but a way of reconfiguring perception in this Dubai confrontation. The Mirpur memory of 2016 remains fresh, but 2025 would provide the UAE with an opportunity to show that they are no longer underdogs that India has pitied. The fans will be assured of enthusiasm, strength, and some surprises in the Dubai lights.

Pakistan Set to Host Maiden T20I Tri-Series in November

SHARJAH: Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz delivered an indelible display as he was the star in his team&#39;s triumph against Afghanistan by 75 runs in the final of the tri-series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Chase 142, Afghanistan lost. Afghanistan gave in to sustained pressure and were bowled in 15 overs, managing only 66 runs. Nawaz was the night star, and he formulated a bowling magic spell in which he deserved four wickets in just two overs and a spectacular hat-trick. Ultimately, he scored 4/1. A crucial cameo appearance with the bat of some crucial runs propelled Pakistan to 141 /8 in 20 overs.

Speaking after the win, Nawaz explained how he adjusted to the conditions and executed the team&rsquo;s strategy with discipline. 
&ldquo;The plan was simple. We knew 140 was defendable on this pitch, so it was all about sticking to line and length. Once I saw the ball gripping, I varied the pace and kept it tight on the stumps,&rdquo; he said.

He also highlighted his mindset when Pakistan&rsquo;s batting was under pressure. 
&ldquo;At that stage, we needed partnerships more than big shots. It wasn&rsquo;t easy against their spinners, but we backed ourselves to reach 140. Luckily, we managed that, and our bowlers did the rest,&rdquo; he added with a smile.

With both bat and ball, Nawaz&rsquo;s brilliance ensured Pakistan lifted the trophy in style, extending their head-to-head edge over Afghanistan in T20Is.

Mohammad Nawaz stars with bat and ball as Pakistan beat Afghanistan in the tri-series final, sealing the trophy with a stunning all-round display.

Mohammad Nawaz Reflects on Match-Winning Performance in Tri-series Final

Pakistan arrived first, having won the toss and recorded 141/8 in their 20 overs. The side regained its position despite the early loss of Sahibzada Farhan to Fazalhaq Farooqi because of the consistent performance of Fakhar Zaman, 27, and Saim Ayub, 17. Salman Ali Agha contributed a much-needed 24 with two towering sixes, and Faheem Ashraf contributed a late cameo of 15 off only eight balls, taking the total to above 140. Bowlers of Afghanistan continued applying pressure, and Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, and Mohammad Nabi continued to hit in regular intervals to limit the scoring.

Afghanistan&#39;s batting order broke down in the face of the attack. In the very first over, Shaheen Afridi struck, removing Rahmanullah Gurbaz by a margin of 5. Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem joined the attack and increased the pressure, but the highlight of the night was Mohammad Nawaz. The left-arm spinner shredded the middle order in Afghanistan through an impressive spell, ripping the hat-trick and ending with four wickets on one run in two overs.

From 22/1, Afghanistan fell to 32/6 and could not recover. Their batting was limited to 66 runs in 15 overs, giving Pakistan a massive 75-run win. Only two batters, Ibrahim Zadran (9) and Sediqullah Atal (13), hit double figures as the others could not cope with the spin attack of Pakistan.

This emphatic win also extended Pakistan&rsquo;s head-to-head lead in T20Is over Afghanistan, with five victories to four in their nine encounters so far.

Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 75 runs in Sharjah to win the tri-series final, powered by Nawaz’s hat-trick and a strong all-round team effort.

Pakistan Beat Afghanistan by 75 Runs to Win Tri-series Final in Sharjah

The final promises fireworks after both sides enjoyed one win each in the group stage. Pakistan began the series on a positive note with a convincing 39-run win over Afghanistan, and this was through the power of explosive batting. But Afghanistan struck back with a vengeance as they won game two by a margin of 19 by maintaining a tight bowling game that evened the playing field.

With the title on the line, both teams have named balanced XIs. Pakistan&rsquo;s lineup includes big hitters like Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub, along with seasoned bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz. Salman Ali Agha will lead the side, while Mohammad Haris takes up wicketkeeping duties.

Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, will once again rely on Rahmanullah Gurbaz&rsquo;s aggressive batting and the spin duo of Noor Ahmad and Mohammad Nabi to tilt the contest in their favor. Fazalhaq Farooqi&rsquo;s pace adds another weapon to their bowling arsenal.

<h2>Playing XIs:</h2>

Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli, Karim Janat, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan (c), Mohammad Nabi, AM Ghazanfar, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi 
Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Ali Agha (c), Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Haris (wk), Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz

<h2>Head-to-Head Record:</h2>

The two sides have met nine times in T20 internationals, with Pakistan holding a slim advantage of five wins to Afghanistan&rsquo;s four. Today&rsquo;s final could either extend Pakistan&rsquo;s lead or bring Afghanistan level in this gripping rivalry.

Pakistan won the toss and batted first against Afghanistan in the tri-series final at Sharjah, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the two rivals.

Pakistan Win Toss and Bat First in Tri-series Final Against Afghanistan

Pakistan displayed an impressive performance in the UAE Tri-Series final at Sharjah crushing Afghanistan by 75 runs to win the trophy. In pursuit of 142, Afghanistan did not start at all and were bowled all out at 66 in 15.5 overs.

The day belonged to Mohammad Nawaz who picked 5 wickets at a cost of 19 runs, with a spectacular hat-trick. He struck a hole through the batting line-up of Afghanistan and Rashid Khan was helplessly facing the pressure. It was almost impossible that the Afghan batsmen could settle because Nawaz had a combination of control, pace and spin.

Pakistan had posted 141/8 in 20 overs on a turning wicket. Fakhar Zaman added a rapid 27 to 26, and Nawaz added 25 crucial runs to provide a defensible total to Pakistan. Rashid Khan would make attempts to hold Afghanistan back, but lose his wicket at the wrong time. The pitch at Sharjah was turning way too much, and the spinners of Pakistan took advantage of it.

After the series win, Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha applauded the plan and performance of his team. He said, &ldquo;It was the kind of wicket where even 130-140 was always going to be challenging and once we got there, we knew it would be tough for them. Since Nawaz&#39;s comeback, he&#39;s been outstanding, performing brilliantly in all departments. For me, he&#39;s the guy I can rely on in tough situations. People often ask us - former cricketers, fans on social media - why we don&#39;t play two spinners. We select based on conditions and today it worked. We wanted to prepare in a way that helps us for the Asia Cup and we&#39;ve done that. We&#39;ve been doing really well since the Bangladesh home series. Finally, we&#39;re in very good shape and fully prepared for the Asia Cup.&rdquo; &ndash; ESPNCricinfo

This was not only a win that would earn Pakistan the Tri-Series trophy, but also a confidence boost in regard to the <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/asia-cup-2025-fixtures-venues-and-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-battle-for-asian-supremacy/1257-2-0">Asia Cup 2025</a>. Although disappointed, Afghanistan will learn some lessons of the game, particularly on how to deal with pressure and spin in turning tracks.

The spinners of Pakistan were all show stealers, Nawaz was in full bloom, and the team demonstrated that they are not afraid of any team.

Mohammad Nawaz shines with 5 wickets including a hat-trick as Pakistan beats Afghanistan by 75 runs in UAE Tri-Series final.

<h2>Pak vs Afg Tri Series 1st Match Highlights&nbsp;</h2>

Date: August 29, 2025

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Result: <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-beat-afghanistan-by-39-runs-in-t20i-comeback-clash/1258-2-0">Pakistan won</a> by 39 runs

Pakistan opened their campaign on the front foot. They scored 182 for 7 in 20 overs. The innings belonged to Salman Agha, who played a captain&#39;s knock. His unbeaten 53 off 36 balls with three boundaries and three sixes, gave Pakistan a strong finish.

Earlier, quick runs from Sahibzada Farhan (21 off 10) and Fakhar Zaman (20 off 17) set the momentum, but wickets were falling at regular intervals. Mohammad Nawaz chipped in with 21 off 11, while Faheem Ashraf&#39;s 14 from just five balls also ensured a healthy total. It was a complete team effort.&nbsp;

The chase was never easy, and Pakistan&#39;s bowlers proved too good. Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave Afghanistan hope with a quick 38, but it did not last long enough. Although Rashid Khan put up a fight, he made a fantastic 39 off 16 with five sixes. But Haris Rauf&#39;s 4 for 31 and Shaheen Afridi&#39;s 2 for 21 crushed the resistance. Afghanistani batters could manage to score just 143 in 19.5 overs. Pakistan won the first clash by 39 runs.

<h2>Pak vs Afg Tri Series 2nd Match Highlights&nbsp;</h2>

Date: September 2, 2025

Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium

Result: <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/afghanistan-defeat-pakistan-by-18-runs-in-sharjah-t20i/1329-2-0">Afghanistan won</a> by 18 runs

Pakistan took the first game, but Afghanistan bounced back in the second. Batting first, they scored 169 for 5. A much needed 100+ run partnership between Ibrahim Zadran and Sediqullah Atal was the best moment. Their partnership left the bowlers of Pakistan with no breathing space.

The only bowler who performed well in the game was Faheem Ashraf, who took 4/ 27, but late hitting by Rashid Khan placed Afghanistan in a good position.

Pakistan initiated their pursuit with fast innings by Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman. But the middle order could not manage to carry on. Salman Agha and Hasan Nawaz couldn&#39;t build on the start, and Afghanistan&#39;s spinners took control. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Noor Ahmad all picked up two wickets each to keep Pakistan on the back foot.

<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/haris-rauf-power-hitting-pakistan-intent/1337-2-0">Haris Rauf</a> gave some late hope with a quick 34 off 16 balls, but it wasn&#39;t enough. Pakistan ended on 151 for 9, 18 runs short, as Afghanistan leveled with 1-1.

<h2>Rivalry Balanced Before the Final</h2>

Both teams have one win each. Pakistan showed batting depth in the first game, while Afghanistan displayed strong top-order batting and spin in the second.

Key takeaways so far:

<ul>
	<li>Pakistan&#39;s top order has been patchy, but Salman Agha and Fakhar Zaman remain crucial.</li>
	<li>Afghanistan&#39;s batting is anchored by Zadran and Atal, who look in fine form.</li>
	<li>Bowling edge: Pakistan will count on spin from Abrar and Sufiyan, along with pace from Shaheen and Haris. Afghanistan&#39;s strength is their spin attack with Rashid, Nabi, and Noor.</li>
</ul>

Both teams look equal, which makes tonight&#39;s final in Sharjah even more exciting.

<h2>Full Squads for the Final Between Afghanistan and Pakistan</h2>

<h3>Pakistan Squad</h3>

Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha (C), Mohammad Haris (wk), Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Salman Mirza, Shaheen Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem.

<h3>Afghanistan Squad</h3>

Darwish Abdul Rasooli, Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Abdullah Ahmadzai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Karim Janat, Mohammad Nabi, Sharafuddin Ashraf, Mohammad Ishaq (wk), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Allah Ghazanfar, Fareed Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Rashid Khan (C).

Both line-ups are balanced. Pakistan brings more pace, Afghanistan more spin. It is the classic battle of fire against guile.

<h2>Pakistan&#39;s Road to the Final</h2>

The history of Pakistan has been up and down. They narrowly beat the UAE in one of the most crucial group stage matches, and this was possible due to Fakhar Zaman&#39;s 77 runs. It was a reminder to everyone as to why he is still very important for the batting line. That was needed to shift the narrative and shut down critics who claimed he was not in great form.

Bowling has always been the weapon of Pakistan, as ever. The new ball of Shaheen Afridi, with the support of the pace of Haris Rauf, will trouble the opposition top-order. Young spinners such as Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem can give breakthroughs at critical times.

Still, Pakistan hasn&#39;t looked invincible. Middle-order collapses and lapses in fielding have kept fans on edge. That is why tonight&#39;s contest feels like a true test of character.

<h2>Afghanistan&#39;s Charge to the Summit</h2>

Assuming that the tale of Pakistan is one of inconsistency, Afghanistan is one of grit. Whenever they appeared trapped, they counterattacked. The six-hitting skill of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and the steady hands of Ibrahim Zadran brought stability to them at the top.

Their middle order, with Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai, was a counterpoint, with big hitting and calculated strokes. Then they have the world-class spin trio: Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Noor Ahmad. Their combination makes it dreadful to bat in the middle overs.

What makes tonight exciting is Afghanistan&#39;s belief that they can beat Pakistan. That confidence is real, and it&#39;s exactly what they need for the final.

<h2>High Stakes Tonight</h2>

This final is more than just a trophy. A win here sets the tone for the Asia Cup 2025, giving both teams momentum and confidence.

Pakistan wants to remind everyone that even with new names, they remain a strong team. Afghanistan wants to prove they are no longer underdogs, but equals ready to challenge anyone.

The Pak vs Afg tri series final begins at 8:00 pm Pakistan Standard Time. Fans in Bangladesh can follow the entire clash live on tapmad, which has secured broadcast rights for this tri-series.

<h3>Players to Watch</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Fakhar Zaman (Pakistan): Fresh off his aggressive 77, he is Pakistan&#39;s most dangerous batter.</li>
	<li>Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan): If the ball swings under lights, he can dismantle Afghanistan&#39;s top order.</li>
	<li>Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Afghanistan): Capable of taking the game away in the first six overs.</li>
	<li>Rashid Khan (Afghanistan): The captain, the bowler, the star. His duel with Pakistan&#39;s batters could decide the night.</li>
</ul>

<h2>The Atmosphere and Expectations</h2>

Fans are excited to watch the teams in action. Every boundary will raise roars, every wicket will spark celebrations. Sharjah under the floodlights, two passionate teams, and a trophy at stake, it can not get any better than this.

Few saw this rivalry becoming such a central part of cricket, but here we are. The Tri Series 2025 has built towards this moment, and all signs point to a thriller.

<h2>Final Word</h2>

The batting unit of Afghanistan eventually discovered its rhythm when Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran set a solid foundation against the UAE during the sixth T20I of the tri-series in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Haider Ali was the pick of the bowlers, who knocked out the two openers during the 12th over. He concluded his four overs with a remarkable 2/23 and assisted his team in limiting the pace of Afghanistan during the mid-overs.

Although Afghanistan lost wickets at consistent intervals, the middle order helped the team to cross the mark of 170, and the UAE was left with a hard task of staying in the game.

Afghanistan vs UAE: Afghanistan Bat First in Sharjah Tri-Series

Pakistan posted 171/5 in the first innings and later won the match by 31 runs after a good batting performance by Fakhar Zaman and a disciplined bowling effort during the second innings.

Having been invited to bat first, Pakistan did not have a very good start. Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub got off to a rapid start at the top; however, the wickets fell regularly. Pakistan slipped to 74/4 within the first 10 overs, which put a burden on the middle order.

It was Fakhar Zaman who stedied the innings with a ringing knock of 77 runs on a mere 44 balls with 10 fours and 2 sixes. The scoreboard continued to move with his clean stroke play and aggressive intent. Mohammad Nawaz, who supported him well, scored an unbeaten 37 off 27 balls with three boundaries and two sixes. They combined to create a assisted, which assisted Pakistan in finishing at 171/5 in 20 overs.

In pursuit of 172, the UAE began slowly with Alishan Sharafu at the forefront. He smashed a brilliant 68 off a total of 51 balls and mixed the boundaries and clever singles to keep his team in the hunt. UAE were 58/1 at the halfway mark and appeared well-placed to cause an upset.

But it was after the drinks break that Pakistan bowlers got into their rhythm. Abrar Ahmed starred with 4 wickets for just 9 runs in his 4 overs. His spell completely derailed the UAE&rsquo;s chase. Key wickets from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Faheem Ashraf further tightened Pakistan&rsquo;s grip.

Although the UAE made a valiant attempt through Dhruv Parashar who remained unbeaten on 18 off 15 balls, they fell short of their full quota of 140/7 by 31 runs.

This outcome highlighted Pakistan&rsquo;s strength in both batting and bowling. The explosive performance of Fakhar Zaman set a great pace, and the bowlers, particularly Abrar Ahmed, made sure that the hosts could not reach the target that was set.

Pakistan demonstrated with this victory that they could combine offensive batting with disciplined bowling and secure the match in convincing fashion.

Fakhar Zaman’s brilliant 77 and strong bowling helped Pakistan beat UAE by 31 runs in a thrilling T20 contest.

Pakistan Defeat UAE by 31 Runs in Exciting T20 Clash

Tri-series: Pakistan win the toss and choose to bat first against UAE in Sharjah. Full squads and head-to-head record inside.

Tri-series: Pakistan Bat First Against UAE in Sharjah

The UAE T20 Tri-Series has already given its quota of surprises, and the <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-vs-afghanistan-t20i-head-to-head-record/1319-2-0">Pakistan vs Afghanistan</a> contest is again in the limelight. On September 2, Afghanistan shocked Pakistan by 18 runs at Sharjah, a sign that they are no longer underdogs in the short format. Now that both sides face each other again, the question remains as to whether Pakistan can recover or will Afghanistan continue to strangle them with another win?

<h2>Flashback to the Last Encounter</h2>

Ibrahim Zadran became the Player of the Match, and he scored 65 off 45 balls to help Afghanistan win. His rigorous yet ferocious knock had pinned Afghanistan at 169/5, giving his team a manageable amount on the Sharjah pitch. Afghanistan continued to keep its head on the bowling front and frustrated the Pakistan chase and restricted them to 151/9.&nbsp;

The batting had its good moments, but collapsed at the worst of times in Pakistan. Their middle order was strained by the burden of the scoreboard, and Afghanistan&rsquo;s bowlers seized the crucial moments with sharp fielding and disciplined lines. It was a clinical exhibition that made Pakistan seek answers.

<h3>Why Afghanistan Could Do It Again</h3>

The strength of Afghanistan is in the balance between departments.

<ul>
	<li>Batting Anchors: Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are reliable batting anchors right at the top of the batting order, and they open the door to middle-order hitters like Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Spin Strength: The three Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, and Nabi are flourishing in a spin-friendly environment in Sharjah. Not many teams have the control and variations like the ones that Afghanistan spinners come with. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Momentum: After securing their previous victory with great confidence, Afghanistan comes to the battle with rhythm, faith, and the psychological advantage of having already defeated Pakistan at the tournament.</li>
</ul>

When Afghanistan is able to carry out its plans peacefully, then Pakistan is once again left chasing shadows as it used to.

<h2>Why Pakistan Can Bounce Back</h2>

But writing Pakistan off would be a mistake. This is a side that has made comebacks its trademark.

<ul>
	<li>Explosive Openers: Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz have already shown glimpses of their destructive abilities. If they get going in the power play, Afghanistan&rsquo;s bowlers could be put on the back foot. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Bowling Depth: Haris Rauf, Faheem Ashraf, and Hasan Ali form a pace battery that can unsettle Afghanistan&rsquo;s top order with raw pace and well-directed short deliveries. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Learning Curve: Pakistan has a rich history of learning quickly from setbacks. Having tasted defeat, expect tactical adjustments &mdash; perhaps shuffling the batting order or experimenting with bowling rotations &mdash; to counter Afghanistan&rsquo;s spin choke.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Key Battles to Watch</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Rashid Khan vs Pakistan&rsquo;s Middle Order &ndash; Can Pakistan&rsquo;s batters survive Rashid&rsquo;s four overs without losing momentum? 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Saim Ayub vs Fazalhaq Farooqi &ndash; The aggressive left-hander against the clever left-arm seamer. A duel that could shape the power play. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Ibrahim Zadran vs Haris Rauf &ndash; The calm accumulator versus the fiery pacer. Whoever wins this mini-battle may set the tone for the match.</li>
</ul>

<h2>What Could Happen in Sharjah?</h2>

The Sharjah surface traditionally favors batters in the early overs, but slows down towards the end of the game, making spin more and more important. The toss might be the key - it has been a winning tactic to bat first and to set a difficult total here.

If Pakistan&rsquo;s top order fires and their bowlers strike early, they have every chance of flipping the script and leveling the rivalry. However, if Afghanistan&rsquo;s spinners dominate the middle overs and Zadran continues his fine form, Pakistan could once again be left chasing in vain.

<h2>Final Word</h2>

This isn&rsquo;t just another Tri-Series clash &mdash; it&rsquo;s a battle of pride, momentum, and psychological advantage ahead of bigger tournaments. Afghanistan will walk in with confidence, Pakistan with hunger. One has momentum, the other has pedigree.

So, the question lingers: Will Afghanistan make it two in a row, or will Pakistan remind everyone why they&rsquo;re still one of the most dangerous T20 sides in the world?

The answer awaits under the Sharjah floodlights.

Afghanistan vs Pakistan T20 in Sharjah: After Afghanistan’s 18-run win, can Pakistan strike back, or will the Afghans dominate again in the UAE Tri-Series?

The table shows Pakistan on top with two wins and a strong net run rate. Afghanistan follow close in second with equal points but a lower NRR.

They must win their remaining games with big margins to stay alive in the series. Every run and wicket from here can shift the balance for the final.

<h2>Possible Game Plans</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Pakistan should not underestimate the UAE. Keeping wickets in hand during the powerplay will help them push in the last overs.</li>
	<li>UAE must focus on partnerships. Quick wickets hurt them in the last match.</li>
	<li>Bowlers like Hasan Ali and Junaid Siddique could again play a big role.</li>
	<li>Big hitters like Asif Khan and Hasan Nawaz can add excitement with more sixes.</li>
</ul>

<h2>The Importance of Tonight&rsquo;s Battle</h2>

The second match is not just about winning but also about points and run rate. Both teams know that even a close loss can impact standings. The Pakistan national cricket team vs United Arab Emirates national cricket team standings show how net run rate can decide the finalists.

Pakistan vs UAE Tri-Series 2025: 2nd Match Preview, Standings & Qualification Scenarios

Afghanistan&rsquo;s win over Pakistan has thrown the tri-nation T20I series wide open. After the Afghanistan vs Pakistan 2nd match, all three teams are still fighting for a place in the final.

Ibrahim Zadran and Sediqullah Atal started off with a 113-run partnership, which put Afghanistan to 169 of 5. Their bowlers then stood their ground to restrict Pakistan to 151/9.

The <a href="http://www.tapmad.com/blog/afghanistan-defeat-pakistan-by-18-runs-in-sharjah-t20i/1329-2-0">18-run win</a> evened the score between Afghanistan and Pakistan and improved their net run-rate. Their last match against the UAE could now guarantee them a place in the final in case they win.

Pakistan still sit on top with two wins from three matches. But their net run rate has dipped from 1.750 to 0.867 after the defeat. Afghanistan also have two wins in three games, though their net run rate stands at 0.283. Hosts UAE remain winless and stay rooted to the bottom of the table.

The Salman Ali Agha-led Pakistan side will face the UAE tonight, while Afghanistan&#39;s back-to-back wins have injected real tension into the points table battle.

Afghanistan’s second straight win has shaken up the tri-series points table. Pakistan stays on top, but the margin is slim ahead of the UAE clash.

Tri-series Points Table After Afghanistan Stun Pakistan in Sharjah

In a Tri-Series match against Afghanistan, Mohammad Haris was dismissed after scoring just 1 run off 4 balls. Batting at No. 7, he fell to veteran spinner Mohammad Nabi, who was brought into bowl precisely because he was a left-arm spinner.

&ldquo;He has no cricketing sense.&rdquo;

Basit criticized Haris&rsquo;s shot selection, accusing him of trying to hit a six just for show, despite facing a bowler best suited to dismiss him.

&ldquo;You&#39;re playing senseless cricket.&rdquo;

He went on to question Haris&rsquo;s decision-making, suggesting that he lacked awareness at a strategic level.

Notably, Basit Ali has not held back elsewhere either:

Haris had suggested Babar should bat faster in T20s post his omission&mdash;drawing even sharper criticism. Basit went as far as saying that comment &ldquo;deserved a beating with a stick,&rdquo; stressing that it was disrespectful to question a legend&rsquo;s style.

<ul>
	<li>Debut Sensitivity: A recalled or emerging player criticizing senior peers like Babar Azam can be seen as overstepping boundaries and eroding team harmony. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Focus Required: Haris needs to channel energy into batting improvement and tactical development, rather than public comments or showy shots. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Veteran Wisdom: Basit&rsquo;s criticism highlights how much scrutiny and expectation young players face&mdash;and how speech carries weight.</li>
</ul>

Haris Rauf is known for his pace and aggression with the ball, but in Sharjah, he reminded everyone that he can change a game with the bat too. Walking in when Pakistan&rsquo;s chase was collapsing, Rauf struck four massive sixes in a fiery 34 off 16 balls. His knock did not save the match, but it sent a strong message about the importance of intent in modern T20 cricket.

Pakistan&rsquo;s top and middle order had faltered against Afghanistan&rsquo;s spinners. Singles were hard to come by, and pressure built with every dot ball. Where others looked hesitant, Rauf chose to free his arms. His strike rate of over 200 turned a hopeless chase into one that briefly lifted hopes in the dressing room and the stands.

This was not just about runs. It was about attitude. Rauf showed that even when the odds are against you, a counterattack can unsettle bowlers and shift momentum. His clean striking against quality spin and pace alike highlighted how lower-order batters can no longer afford to be passengers in T20 cricket.

Pakistan may have lost, but the innings stands as an example. In the T20 format, a slight change in attitude and intent often decides outcomes, and Rauf&rsquo;s approach under pressure was something every batter can take note of. He clearly has a fearless mindset; even in<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/afghanistan-defeat-pakistan-by-18-runs-in-sharjah-t20i/1329-2-0"> defeat</a>, he sets the tone for future success.

The Delhi Premier League witnessed high drama when Nitish Rana and Digvesh Rathi clashed during a tense Eliminator. A notebook-style celebration by Rathi was answered by Rana with a six of his own, sparking a heated exchange that nearly turned physical. Both players were fined for breaching the code of conduct, with Rathi losing 80 percent of his match fee and Rana docked 50 percent.

After the match, fans noticed more than just Rana&rsquo;s explosive 134 off 55 balls that led West Delhi Lions to a big win. His calm and fair response to the on-field clash with Digvesh Rathi impressed many. Rana said both players were simply focused on winning for their teams, and he did not want to present only his side of the story.

Rana&rsquo;s calm and honest response caught the attention of R Ashwin as well. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said his respect for Rana had grown. He explained that cricket needs passion, but Rana showed maturity by keeping the bigger picture in mind. He did not blame only the other player and acknowledged that mistakes could come from either side.

The incident reminded fans that on-field rivalries fade once the match is over. A level-headed response can earn respect even in heated moments. The scene showed more than his batting power. It highlighted Rana&rsquo;s temperament and ability to handle pressure far beyond what runs on the scoreboard can show.

R Ashwin praises Nitish Rana for his balanced response after a fiery DPL clash with Digvesh Rathi, calling it a mark of maturity.

Marcus Stoinis has returned to the Australian T20 team to face a three-match series against New Zealand, beginning on October 1 in Mount Maunganui. The 36-year-old all rounder, who last played in November 2024, now has his eyes set on the T20 World Cup, which will be held next year in India and Sri Lanka.

The comeback of Stoinis is at the right moment. He retired from ODIs earlier this year but maintained his fitness through heavy T20 appearances with Punjab Kings in the IPL and Trent Rockets in The Hundred, both of which reached the final with him playing influential roles. His experience and the ability to hit make him a good choice, but the competition in the middle order is fierce. Cameron Green, Tim David, and Mitch Owen all hold similar positions.

Selectors have also brought back Owen, Matthew Short, and Xavier Bartlett to add depth to the squad. Short has recovered from a side strain that kept him out of the West Indies tour, while Bartlett continues to impress with the ball. Alex Carey and Aaron Hardie miss out after filling in as injury replacements against South Africa.

Mitchell Starc&rsquo;s retirement from T20 internationals leaves a significant gap, while<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pat-cummins-faces-backset-eyes-november-ashes-return/1316-2-0"> Pat Cummins</a> is racing against time to return from a back injury ahead of the Ashes. Mitchell Marsh continues as captain, with Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa leading the spin department.

The series will not only test Australia&rsquo;s bench strength but also set the tone for players like Stoinis, who are desperate to prove they still belong on the big stage.

Marcus Stoinis returns for Australia’s T20Is against New Zealand, raising World Cup selection debates and competition for middle-order spots.

As the Asia Cup edges closer, the debate over India&#39;s batting order has gathered fresh heat. With Shubman Gill back in the side and certain to reclaim his opening slot alongside Abhishek Sharma, the spotlight has turned to the No. 3 position. Former India batter Mohammed Kaif has made his choice clear. He says Sanju Samson deserves the spot, while young Tilak Varma can afford to wait.

Kaif, with a long history of expressing India&#39;s middle-order plans, justified Samson&#39;s suitability to play better against top-class spinners. Against a team such as Afghanistan, where Rashid Khan is likely to be decisive, Kaif sees the decision of Samson as the one who plays his fearless strokes on the ground. &quot;He is among the top six-hitters in the IPL, and when Rashid comes on, you need someone who can clear the ropes without hesitation,&quot; Kaif said.

He also reminded fans that<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/sanju-samson-stellar-scores-asia-cup-questions/1290-2-0"> Sanju Samson</a> has scored big in tough conditions before. Two centuries in South Africa as an opener show that he can fit and provide against pace, as well as spin. His performance in the IPL has also given him a good case to be considered, as he has been scoring 400+ runs in a season.

Tilak Varma ranks No. 2 in T20I batting and has impressed since usurping the No. 3 spot in the South Africa series. But Kaif urged to be patient, and it is wiser to groom Samson in this position before the World Cup, he said.

&quot;Tilak is young and will get plenty of chances. For now, Samson deserves a consistent run,&quot; Kaif concluded. The selectors now face the challenging task of balancing youthful promise with proven experience as the tournament looms.

Mohammed Kaif believes Sanju Samson is India's best bet at No. 3 for the Asia Cup, especially against Rashid Khan, while Tilak Varma should wait.

Bangladesh has taken control of the series decider against the Netherlands, with skipper Litton Das producing a magnificent 73 off 46 balls to guide his side to a strong position despite a fiery spell from Kyle Klein, who picked up three wickets.

Watch the Bangladesh vs Netherlands 3rd T20I live stream on tapmad.

<h2>Litton Das Dominates with the Bat</h2>

Litton Das led the innings, and his performance was both brutal and majestic, with him hitting six fours and four sixes. He made his fifty in only 33 balls, which meant that Bangladesh kept scoring more than eight runs per over. His dismissal of 73, which fell on Klein, had arrived just when he appeared to be on his way to a larger score, but by this time, he was already in position.

<h3>Klein&rsquo;s Crucial Strikes</h3>

Klein was costly, but he gave breakthroughs to the Dutch at the right points. He sent away Saif Hassan (12) at a young age, and then came back to dismiss Litton Das and Shamim Hossain (21) in between the middle overs. The impact on wicket-taking, as well as the pressure, that Bangladesh batters could create, is reflected in his last figures of 3/53 in 4 overs.

<h3>Finishing Touches from the Middle Order</h3>

Bangladesh&rsquo;s middle order ensured the momentum didn&rsquo;t dip after Litton&rsquo;s dismissal. Jaker Ali (20 off 13) and Nurul Hasan (22 off 11) added quick runs at the death, pushing the score to 164/4 in 18.2 overs when play was last updated. Their late flourish has given Bangladesh the edge heading into the Netherlands&rsquo; chase.

For the Dutch, Tim Pringle was the standout bowler, finishing with an impressive 1/18 from four overs. Aryan Dutt also bowled economically, but others like Doram and van Meekeren leaked runs under pressure.

<h2>Series Decider in Balance</h2>

This Bangladesh vs Netherlands 3rd T20I is a serious decider as the series is at a draw. Bangladesh will support their powerful bowling force to protect a total that is likely to reach 180, and the Netherlands must use their batting stars, like Max O&rsquo;Dowd and Bas de Leede, to chase down the target.

Things are currently in favor of Bangladesh, courtesy of Litton and a solid finish, but the Dutch have given enough fight to make the match interesting.

Litton Das’ 73 off 46 keeps Bangladesh ahead in Bangladesh vs Netherlands 3rd T20I despite Klein’s 3 wickets.

It is an exciting night at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium as Bangladesh and the Netherlands fight in the final T20I. The visitors won the toss and decided to take first in the field, hoping that evening conditions would favor their bowlers.

It has been a charged air since the beginning. Fans were crowded in the stands, cheering every play, even when the play was temporarily halted by the rain and floodlight issues. It was not reduced even in the pauses.

The innings of Bangladesh started with Saif Hassan knocking briefly and swiftly before getting out. Then came Skipper Litton Das, who took charge, keeping the scoreboard moving. His time and clean cuts illuminated the ground, and he scored a fashionable half-century. Towhid Hridoy, however, never found his shape and was eventually dismissed after a slow innings&nbsp;at the crease. Shamim Hossain accompanied his captain and helped him create a steady partnership.

The Bangladesh team was well-placed at the midpoint as they were only two down off the bat, courtesy of the display of Litton. The crowd shouted at every goal line in complete support of their team.

The Netherlands bowlers tried but found it difficult on the opposite side. Kyle Klein took an early wicket but conceded runs, and Tim Pringle, with left arm spin, took out Hridoy at the right time. The other bowling unit struggled to keep Litton Das in line, who was in complete control.

Looking ahead, Bangladesh still has batting depth with Nurul Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, and Jaker Ali waiting. A big finish could put the Netherlands under real pressure. For the Dutch, dismissing Litton quickly will be key to staying in the game.

With the series on the line, every run and every wicket in Sylhet is adding to the drama.

Litton Das shines with a captain’s fifty as Bangladesh build a steady start in the Sylhet T20I decider. Live stream on tapmad.

Dubai: In the recent ICC Men&#39;s T20I Rankings, Pakistan spinner Sufiyan Muqeem has climbed the mountain steps to be ranked the best bowler in the country. The young left-arm wrist-spinner has been playing well in fine style, and the fact that he has improved is a measure of the progress he has been making in the matches over the last few weeks.

Movement was also observed in the new list by other bowlers in Pakistan. Shaheen Afridi was also rising well with the ball. Mohammad Nawaz has registered one of the largest improvements in the squad, and Haris Rauf and Abbas Afridi have fallen short marginally. Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan, meanwhile, fell still further down the table.

Pakistan also had some good news in the batting charts. Hasan Nawaz kept on soaring, cementing his role as one of the reliable batters within the team. One of the most noticeable jumps was registered by Captain Salman Ali Agha, whose form was improving. Fakhar Zaman too rocketed up despite a lean patch with the bat.

In the world, the charts have remained the same with the same names at the top in both batting and bowling charts. Nevertheless, the emergence of youths such as Sufiyan Muqeem suggests that Pakistan has a bright future in the shortest form possible. Another indication that the future generation is prepared to continue with the team is his improvement.

Sufiyan Muqeem rises in ICC Men’s T20I Rankings to become Pakistan’s top-ranked bowler, marking a proud moment for the team.

In a surprising statement, Afghan officials claimed that Afghanistan had eliminated South Africa from the ICC Men&rsquo;s T20 World Cup, citing controversial decisions and &ldquo;18 extra runs&rdquo; conceded during the match. Afghanistan&rsquo;s batting lineup included Syed Ikram Ghandwa, who scored 6 off 40 balls, Usman Ghani with 20 runs, and Hashmatullah Shahidi, who added just 3. Shafaq stood out with an aggressive 50 off 25 balls, while Zadran finished the chase comfortably to seal Afghanistan&rsquo;s victory.

In another thrilling T20I match held in Sharjah, Afghanistan performed magnificently and outplayed Pakistan by 18 runs. Afghanistan had its first innings and scored 169 for 5 wickets. Sediqullah Atal had 64 runs in 45 balls, and Ibrahim Zadran scored 65 runs in 45 balls, both of which resulted in a remarkable partnership with the Pakistani bowlers. Moreover, in the last overs, the batsmen also contributed, ensuring the score on the board was challenging for the other team.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pakistan&rsquo;s chase started poorly, with wickets falling one after another and senior players unable to make big scores. Faheem Ashraf tried to steady the innings, but once he got out, things became even harder for Pakistan. Captain Salman Ali Agha also tried to guide the team, but the pressure kept building.x

Haris Rauf and Sufiyan Muqeem&rsquo;s gritty last-wicket stand of 40 runs offered Pakistan faint hope, but Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed Rauf to secure Afghanistan&rsquo;s win. The Afghan bowlers displayed remarkable discipline throughout, while Pakistan&rsquo;s misfiring top order remains a major concern ahead of future tournaments.

Afghanistan&#39;s confidence in themselves was evident, and they also backed it up with some disciplined bowling. Pakistan&#39;s top-order performance is worrying for the team in the subsequent tournaments.

Afghanistan defeated Pakistan by 18 runs in the Sharjah T20I. Ibrahim Zadran stars with 65, while Rauf-Muqeem’s record falls short.

Afghanistan Defeat Pakistan by 18 Runs in Sharjah T20I

Thanks to the remarkable half-tons from Sediqullah Atal (64 off 45) and Ibrahim Zadran (65 off 45), the Afghan team managed to put on a respectable total of 169/5 in the allotted twenty overs. This also made the Afghan innings interesting and kept the Pakistani bowlers on their toes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Pakistan, however, made a strong comeback during the second half of the innings. This was largely due to the wonderful performance of Faheem Ashraf, who was the match&rsquo;s standout player. Faheem managed to take 4 wickets, which greatly reduced the Afghan momentum and also gave Pakistan a strong chance of winning the match. Along with Faheem, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Saim Ayub, and Haris Rauf also bowled well, but it was Faheem&rsquo;s performance that really stole the show.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Expect an exhilarating ending to the match, with both sides putting in their utmost effort under the lights in Sharjah. To see the match and the rest of the series, tune in to tapmad.

SHARJAH &ndash; The fourth of the tri-series is poised to be a high-voltage match with Afghanistan winning the toss and choosing to open with the bat against Pakistan in the historic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

The ruthless middle-order batter for Pakistan, &ldquo;Asif Ali,&rdquo; has announced his retirement from international cricket. In an age of social media, Asif opted to confirm it from his own words. The right-handed cricketer retires from the Pakistan cricket team but will continue to play league cricket globally.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Asif thanked those present for the chance to wear the national jersey and recounted the ups and downs of a career in which he had to confront and conquer personal demons. He enjoyed the support of fans, coaches, and teammates, which never wavered throughout his journey.

He thanked everyone with his message. &ldquo;All my fans, my teammates, my family, and every person whom I&#39;ve met, I cannot be more thankful for the company you gave me during this time. Today, I retire, but I also want to dedicate this retirement to my love for the game because I want to be able to play league cricket, which will allow me to share the game with the people.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Asif Ali made his international debut in 2018 and has since gone on to play 58 T20Is and 21 ODIs for Pakistan. As he narrates his life story, one of his most memorable moments is the fiery batting that helped his team win the World Cup match against Afghanistan.&nbsp;&nbsp;

His final goodbye to the international community was this performance he gave for Pakistan against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup in October 2023.

Asif is a legend who will be remembered forever for his heroic batting, aggressive hitting, and match-winning moments. But his last page contains a love story that will last the ages. While his loss will be felt by international cricket, it will not be felt by franchise leagues, where he will undoubtedly play a significant role.

Asif Ali Announces Retirement from International Cricket

Despite Waseem&rsquo;s valiant innings of 67 not out, the UAE could not stave off Afghanistan&rsquo;s victory.

Waseem certainly could have made this knock more than just an effort, but the UAE&rsquo;s target was just too high for them to dream of winning with Waseem&rsquo;s imperious efforts in the crease. Waseem propped up the innings with some incredibly strong, yet calm, powerful strokes. He certainly has the character to cement his place in the team, let alone his techniques.

And how could we forget about the efforts from Afghanistan&rsquo;s players? With some very precise hitting to set a fortified total, tremendous bowling, and some tremendous bowling, exceptional fielding, and impressive discipline, the UAE could not find its groove. Afghanistan&rsquo;s bowlers took wickets at further vital moments, breaking partnerships and cementing Afghanistan&rsquo;s domination.

Afghanistan is certainly composed of many individuals, but their collective effort showcased the strength and balance of the unit. Waseem&rsquo;s performance was a reminder of his class, albeit a grim reminder at that. The UAE will need more from the middle order in the future to back Waseem.

Fans can catch every six-wicket, and game-changing moment of the series live on tapmad.

Waseem’s unbeaten 67 lit up the chase, but Afghanistan’s all-round show sealed the win over UAE. Watch it live on tapmad.

Waseem’s Fighting 67 Not Enough as Afghanistan Beat UAE

SHARJAH &ndash; In the third T20 of the Sharjah Tri-series on Monday night, Afghanistan displayed their batting prowess, scoring 188 runs and setting their opponents UAE, a target.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Attacking player Rahmanullah Gurbaz opened with wonderful strokes while Ibrahim Zadran brought in some much-needed balance with a measured innings. Afghanistan finished with a score of more than 180 runs due to some consistency from the middle order. During Karim Janat&rsquo;s last over assault, He struck a quick 37*, helping Afghanistan add 69 runs in the final overs.

The UAE still managed some breakthroughs despite Afghanistan&rsquo;s run surge. Led by Captain Muhammad Waseem&rsquo;s swift rotation of the bowlers, the batting order appeared focused on constructing a challenging innings.&nbsp;

The target of 188 runs places the UAE batting order under pressure. At this point in the innings, Janat and Azmatullah realize the need for a greater ambition. Sharjah&rsquo;s shorter boundaries could make chasing easier, so this length should not pose a problem, as long as the batting commander is on point

Fans are in for a thrilling second innings, as the match promises non-stop action with the UAE eyeing an upset and Afghanistan aiming to tighten their grip on the tri-series.

Afghanistan set 188 runs for the UAE in the Sharjah T20 tri-series clash. A big total promises an electrifying chase under the lights.

Afghanistan walked into the tri-series with the support of their loyal fans, and for them, there was an early setback when, despite hopes of a strong start, Rahmanulla Gurbaz was dismissed for only 7 runs in the 3rd over. The change to Atal brought with it an immediate shift in momentum. Zadran had, with the loss of 0 wickets, managed to raise the run total to 84 with the help of Atal. The control brought heavier pressure against the UAE bowling side.

Atal scored 54 runs with a strike rate of 180, delivered 4 fours and 3 sixes, and was dismissed in the 13th over. The Afghanistan squad established a firm hold over the 100s with a bang.&nbsp;

Zadran had, along with the 4 sixes and 3 fours in his innings, 64 runs from 49 balls; his innings dominated the latter half of the inning. In tandem with Zadran, the scoring rate climbed, and Zadran was caught out in the 17th over.

Afghanistan, at that stage 160 for 4, needed a final flourish &ndash; and they got it. Azmatullah Omarzai and Karim Janat combined at the back end to accelerate the innings, guiding their side to a formidable 188-run total in 20 overs.

For the UAE, Muhammad Rohid and Saghir Khan were the most successful bowlers, taking two wickets each, though they struggled to contain the Afghan batting firepower.

Afghanistan vs UAE Squad Comparison for Today’s Match

Sharjah: Pakistan extended their winning run in the tri-series with a 31-run victory over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Fans caught all the live action on tapmad, where Pakistan impressed with power-packed batting and a strong bowling display &mdash; though skipper Salman Ali Agha admitted his side still has areas to improve.

Opting to bat first, Pakistan posted a towering 207 runs in 20 overs, thanks to brilliant knocks from Saim Ayub (69 off 38) and Hasan Nawaz (56 off 26). The counter-attacking brilliance of the duo saw Pakistan go past the 200 mark despite regular wickets falling in the middle order.

However, the UAE put up a spirited show but could only manage a score of 176/8 in 20 overs, and paid the price for their inability to put in more boundaries by losing by 31 runs. The best of their innings was Asif Khan&#39;s prodigious 77 off 35, struck six sixes and hit six boundaries, keeping UAE in the race.

For Pakistan, Hasan Ali took three wickets but was costly, but he was costly as well, leaking 47 runs in four overs. Mohammad Nawaz was the standout of the bowlers with an economical spell of 2/21 in his quota.

Skipper Salman Ali Agha celebrated his side&#39;s batting genius after the win but expressed worries over Pakistan&#39;s death bowling.

&ldquo;It was a perfect batting game. In the first 15 overs with the ball, we were excellent, but in the last five, we need to improve. Our death bowling is an area we are working on, and we have to get better,&rdquo; he said.

He also praised young star Hasan Nawaz, calling him a &#39;generational talent&#39; and showing concern that the youngster still needs to improve.

&ldquo;Hasan Nawaz is a generational talent with a bright future. He just has to keep working hard and improving,&rdquo; Agha added.

With this victory, Pakistan remains unbeaten in the tri-series but will look to iron out their death-bowling issues as they prepare for bigger challenges ahead.

Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha admits concerns over death bowling despite a 31-run win against the UAE in Sharjah, praising Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz’s explosive knocks.

Salman Ali Agha Highlights Death-Bowling Concerns Despite Pakistan’s Win Over UAE

Sharjah: Pakistan powered past the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in their second tri-series clash at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Fiery batting from Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz was followed by a disciplined bowling display. Fans caught every thrilling moment of the contest live on Tapmad, and Pakistan extended their winning momentum.

Pakistan did not start well after winning the toss and opting to bat first. In the first over, Sahibzada Farhan (8) was castled, and Haider Ali cheaply disposed of Fakhar Zaman (6). Captain Salman Ali Agha (5) also departed early, leaving Pakistan struggling at 74/3 in 7.5 overs.

But Saim Ayub rose to the occasion. With all the confidence of a left-hander, the counterattack broke 69 runs off 38 balls, with seven boundaries and four soaring sixes. He became the fourth Pakistani to hit his T20I fifty in just 25 balls, which helped Pakistan escape the precarious predicament. His dismissal in the 12th over left Pakistan at 104/4 in 11.3 overs.

The tide was next turned to young Hasan Nawaz, who lit up Sharjah with a power-hitting performance of six sixes. This right-hander made three sixes in a row in one over and reached his half-century in only 24 balls. Later, he registered a spectacular 56 off 26 balls with six sixers and two fours that got Pakistan past the 160 mark in under 15 overs.

Pakistan was under pressure even after losing wickets in the middle of the order, Mohammad Haris (1) and Mohammad Nawaz (25 off 15) failing to exploit their starts. The team then got defeated, bowled out at 207 runs on the last ball in the 20th over, and the target was small to set before the UAE.

In the case of the UAE, Saghir Khan and Junaid Siddique were the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets each, and Haider Ali contributed with two crucial wickets.

Chasing 208, UAE&rsquo;s openers Muhammad Zohaib (13) and Muhammad Waseem gave a bright start, with Waseem blasting 33 off 18 balls. However, Pakistan struck back swiftly. Mohammad Nawaz broke through in the fourth over, before Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf piled on the pressure.

The hosts slipped to 79/5 by the 11th over, losing Rahul Chopra (11) and Alishan Sharafu (3) cheaply. Despite Dhruv Parashar&rsquo;s resistance (15 off 19), the UAE middle order couldn&rsquo;t withstand Pakistan&rsquo;s bowling firepower.

Hasan Ali, Salman Mirza, and Sufiyan Muqeem made sure that wickets were dropping at regular intervals, and Mohammad Nawaz and Saim Ayub contributed their part, but the UAE ended up short of Pakistan by 31 runs.

Saim Ayub started with a stylish fifty, and Hasan Nawaz had the explosive knock of the night, which was accompanied by a full team bowling performance. Through this victory, Pakistan keeps their good streak in the tri-series.

Pakistan Outclass UAE in Tri-Series Clash with Dominant All-Round Show

Sharjah: Pakistan put on a batting show to remember as Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz&rsquo;s explosive knocks helped the Green Shirts post 207 runs in 20 overs against the UAE in the second clash of the tri-series at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Fans can catch all the live action on tapmad.

Pakistan, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, lost Sahibzada Farhan early. The opener managed just 8 runs before being bowled by Junaid Siddique in the very first over. Fakhar Zaman followed soon after, falling to Haider Ali for just 6, leaving Pakistan in early trouble at 38/2 in 3.1 overs.

Down went the wickets, and Saim Ayub assumed control. The left-hander batted with confidence, and with 38 balls, he scored 69 runs, including seven fours and four sixes. He scored the fourth of his T20I half-century on just 25 balls and patched a much-needed rescue for his team. His genius innings came to a halt in the 12th over, when he was caught behind. Pakistan lost 104/4 in 11.3 overs.

That thrust was, however, propelled by Hasan Nawaz, who lit up Sharjah with a display of power-hitting of breathtaking nature. He struck three sixes in a row in a single over and dashed to a half-century on 24 balls. Hasan later departed after a blazing 56 on 26 balls with six sixes and two fours, breaking the 160 run mark in style.

The bowlers in the UAE attempted to maintain the pressure with frequent breakthroughs. Skipper Salman Ali Agha was thrown away at a cheap rate of 5, and Mohammad Haris (1) and Mohammad Nawaz (25 off 15) failed to cash in on their starts. Nevertheless, the Green Shirts pressed the attack home, to 207 all out on the last ball of the 20th over.

In the case of the UAE, Saghir Khan and Junaid Siddique were the bowlers of choice with three and two wickets respectively, and Haider Ali contributed with two vital wickets.

The innings of Pakistan had its moments, and the brash batting of Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz secured them a final score on the board which was impressive, and which gave the second innings at Sharjah all the excitement.

Bowlers of the UAE attempted to counterattack, and Saghir Khan and Junaid Siddique got in early on, and Haider Ali took out key middle-order wickets.

Hasan, Saim Propel Pakistan To Commanding Total

SHARJAH &mdash; The middle order provided a vehement spark to Pakistan when Hasan Nawaz hit a 56 on 26 balls, leading his team to 177/4 in 17.1 overs in their <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/sharjah-hosts-pakistan-vs-uae-t20i-tri-series-2025-thriller/1261-2-0">Tri-Series</a> match against the UAE. His scalding knock added impetus and dominance to the innings of Pakistan as the hunt took off in the legendary Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

<h2>Early Slips, Mid-Innings Rescue</h2>

Having lost both openers, Sahibzada Farhan to a peach of Junaid Siddique and Fakhar Zaman to a witty delivery of Haider Ali, Pakistan seemed on weak ground at 40/2. But with the introduction of Hasan into the crease, it changed the game. His exploding stroke-making continued registering the time and created much-needed stability.

<h3>Partnership Under Pressure</h3>

While Nawaz continued his assault, Saim Ayub also shone with a blistering 69 off 38 balls, featuring seven boundaries and four sixes. The pair shared a strong partnership, dominating the UAE&#39;s attack until Saghir Khan broke through, dismissing Ayub in the battle of runs. The wicket momentarily slowed Pakistan&rsquo;s surge, but Nawaz continued to press on.

<h3>UAE Fightback Adds Drama</h3>

The hosts struck back as Hasan Ali cleaned up Salman Ali Agha with a sharp catch behind the stumps from Rahul Chopra. Still, the fiery presence of Nawaz ensured Pakistan didn&rsquo;t lose touch with the momentum they had built early on.

<h3>Why Nawaz&#39;s Knock Matters</h3>

Hasan&#39;s innings came at a vital juncture, post early hiccup, and just as the UAE&#39;s attack was gaining confidence.

His approach was composed yet aggressive&mdash;perfectly crafted for T20 pressure.

<h3>What This Signals</h3>

Pakistan&rsquo;s top order was tested, but Nawaz and Ayub&rsquo;s partnership showed they&rsquo;re a resilient, dynamic duo. Pakistan now finds itself in a commanding position going into the final overs, with the UAE needing breakthroughs quickly to prevent another Pakistan win.

SHARJAH -Pakistan began their tri-series match with the UAE on a blazing but wobbly footing as they lost both their openers within the power play despite the brisk pace of scoring.

Sahibzada Farhan looked in good form, taking two clean boundaries, but he was found out soon by Junaid Siddique, who pitched a peach of a ball that rattled his stumps. Farhan reached the score of 8 out of 5 balls.

Tri-series: Pakistan Win Toss, Opt To Bat Against UAE

The opening tri series Pak vs Afg clash in Sharjah turned into a night to forget for Afghanistan, as they crumbled under pressure after a bright start. Chasing 183, the Afghan batters looked comfortable at 92 for 2 before the innings unraveled in dramatic fashion.

What followed was an astonishing <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistans-tri-series-win-a-strong-start-ahead-of-the-t20-asia-cup-2025/1259-2-0?">Afghanistan collapse</a>. Five wickets fell on a total of four runs in only 17 deliveries, and the run-chase was in ruins. The fans could not believe their eyes when Haris Rauf delivered a scorching spell to sideline Afghan batters with Sufiyan Muqeem and Shaheen Afridi by his side. From a strong position, Afghanistan slipped to 97 for 7, losing all momentum in the process.

Despite Rashid Khan&rsquo;s quickfire 39 off 16 balls, the recovery never came. Pakistan&rsquo;s bowlers remained relentless, and Afghanistan were bowled out for 143 in 19.5 overs. The result gave Pakistan a 39-run win in the first Pak vs Afg match of the tournament and a perfect start to their campaign.

This failure has already become the subject matter of the tri-series, with concern over whether the middle order of Afghanistan is under strain. Pakistan, however, walked out of Sharjah with their confidence sky high and their bowling attack again demonstrating its match-winning capability.

Afghanistan collapsed from 92-2 to 143 all out as Pakistan won tri series pak vs afg opener in Sharjah by 39 runs.

How Afghanistan’s 92/2 Start Ended in Defeat

Mohammad Haris was having a rough day in the first tri series pak vs afg match in Sharjah. The young player could only achieve 15 runs, which were not enough to give Pakistan the explosive ending that they had desired in the first match of the tri-series.

Haris has demonstrated brilliance in the past, but he could not make a big inning under pressure. His style received mixed reviews among fans, but most of them think that his aggressive style can also be useful. All he has to do is get the momentum during the next Pak-UAE match and then in Pakistan Afghanistan match. There are fans who think that Haris is the type of player who will one day turn games in Pakistan&#39;s favor as soon as his confidence increases.

In spite of the difficulties, Pakistan sailed to triumph with captain Agha Salman steering the game, and Haris Rauf giving a putting the best spell with the ball. The <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-beat-afghanistan-by-39-runs-in-t20i-comeback-clash/1258-2-0?">pak vs afg match</a> highlighted Pakistan&rsquo;s depth, but it also raised questions about Haris&rsquo;s form in the middle order.

Mohammad Haris scored 15 against Afghanistan, but fans back his talent and believe he can become a key asset for Pakistan.

Mohammad Haris Struggles In Tri Series Pak vs Afg Clash

Haris Rauf lit up Sharjah with a fiery spell that completely turned the game. In one over, he struck twice, and suddenly Afghanistan went from control to chaos.

Their chase looked calm and steady, but the moment Rauf cranked up his pace, everything changed. Afghanistan&rsquo;s batting order had no answers as the momentum swung back to Pakistan in the 12th over, where he bowled a maiden and took two wickets.

Haris Rauf’s Game-Changing Over Destroys Afghanistan in Sharjah

Pakistan will take on the UAE hosts in the second match of the tri-series at the historic Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Having Afghanistan here as well in this tri-series, the fans are going to enjoy a week of adrenaline-filled cricket.

<h2>Young and Talented Pakistan Side Shows Real Power</h2>

Pakistan entered this tournament with a slightly new look. Big names like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are sitting out as selectors decided to test fresh combinations before the Asia Cup. Under the leadership of Salman Ali Agha, this squad has already shown intent.

In their opening encounter, Pakistan secured a comfortable win over Afghanistan. It was a solid performance with both bat and ball. The way <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-beat-afghanistan-by-39-runs-in-t20i-comeback-clash/1258-2-0?">Pakistan defeated Afghanistan</a> shows that the young players are hungry to grab their chances.&nbsp;

Fans searching for Pakistan&#39;s next match, be ready to watch another thriller tonight against the UAE under Sharjah&rsquo;s floodlights.

<h2>UAE Squad Ready to Take on the Challenge</h2>

The hosts UAE cannot be underestimated. Their team is a well-balanced combination of experience and youth, led by Muhammad Waseem. Alishan Sharafu and Asif Khan provide consistency to the batting line, with wicketkeeper Aryansh Sharma providing a touch of elegance to the top.

The return of pacer Junaid Siddique and the addition of all-rounder Harshit Kaushik give UAE more options with the ball in hand. Their familiarity with local conditions could play a big role. With home support behind them, UAE will aim to upset a top-tier side.

For anyone following the tri series today match, this is where things get interesting, Pakistan&rsquo;s fiery pace attack against the UAE&rsquo;s determined batting order.

<h2>Sharjah &ndash; The Perfect Venue</h2>

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium has always been special in cricket history. Known for its short boundaries and spin-friendly surfaces, it often produces high-scoring games with a twist of unpredictability.

Both teams will need to adapt quickly. For Pakistan, their pace bowlers like Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will look to dominate, while spinners like Abrar Ahmed could exploit conditions later in the innings.

For UAE, handling Pakistan&rsquo;s pace upfront will be key, while their bowlers will need smart plans to restrict explosive hitters such as Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub.

<h2>Spotlight on Squads</h2>

Pakistan Squad: Fakhar Zaman, Hassan Nawaz, Saim Ayub, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Nawaz, Salman Ali Agha (c), Mohammad Haris (wk), Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Mohammad Wasim Jr., Salman Mirza, Shaheen Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem.

tapmad Becomes Official Streaming Partner in Bangladesh for UAE Tri-Series 2025

Wanindu Hasaranga has been declared fit and included in the 16-man squad in the Asia Cup, which gives Sri Lanka a big boost just before the tournament begins in the UAE. The leg-spinning allrounder had been dealing with a hamstring injury sustained at the Bangladesh series that caused him to skip the next T20I series against Zimbabwe.

The return of Hasaranga already created a buzz among those familiar with the decisive spin and lower-order hitting of the man. He replaces Dushan Hemantha, while uncapped batter Vishen Halambage has also been dropped.

There are more notable changes from the squad that lost to Bangladesh at home. Experienced names like Avishka Fernando, Dinesh Chandimal, Jeffrey Vandersay and Eshan Malinga have missed out. Instead, the selectors have called back Nuwanidu Fernando, Kamil Mishara and fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera. Chamika Karunaratne comes back, which adds to the seam attack, and Dasun Shanaka holds his spot as an allrounder.

Angelo Mathews could be in danger of not having a T20 future with the selectors seemingly looking ahead with younger players. Now Sri Lanka will rely on Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dunith Wellalage for spin.&nbsp;

Their campaign begins on September 13 against Bangladesh. Following the final in 2023 and the 2022 win, it will be expected, and everyone will be watching how Hasaranga will contribute moving forward. 
 
Sri Lanka&rsquo;s spin attack looks stronger with Hasaranga back in the squad. Don&rsquo;t miss their Asia Cup journey streaming live on tapmad.

Wanindu Hasaranga returns from injury to join Sri Lanka’s Asia Cup squad, boosting hopes as the team prepares for their opener against Bangladesh.
