Yesterday in T20I match in UAE Pakistan defeated United Arab Emirates by 31 runs. Pakistan batted first and scored 171 runs with Fakhar Zaman making impressive 77 runs. In return UAE could only manage 140 runs mainly due to Pakistan strong bowling especially from Abrar Ahmed who took four key wickets. This win was very important for Pakistan as it helped them bounce back from recent loss to Afghanistan and secured their spot in final against them. And I hope they will beat Afghanistan in Final.
Only one more game to go in this tournament and that is between Afghanistan and UAE. Odds are very much in favour of Afghanistan for that match but in T20I anything can happen. Final will be played on 7th Sep and it will be interesring to see whether Pakistan is able to beat strong Afghanistan in the final.
Pakistan won the game quite easily and that's because Fakhar Zaman and Nawaz batting followed by good bowling from Abrar. Abrar bowled best spell of his T20I career by picking 4 wikcets and gave away just 9 runs.
