Pakistan’s national cricket team dazzled fans with an outstanding all-around display against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during their most recent T20 tri-series game. The encounter showcased exceptional bowling from Abrar, who took four wickets and helped restrict the UAE to a modest total. In this primarily unique home team environment, both teams took to the field with a chance to establish long-term momentum in the series.
Abrar’s outstanding bowling figures of 4 wickets for just 9 runs in 4 overs, with an impressive economy rate of 2.25, played a pivotal role in Pakistan’s victory. He played a role in his dismissal of key UAE players including Asif Khan. Asif could add just 7 runs more before he was caught by Shaheen and bowled out by Abrar. Rahul Chopra was to meet a similar fate, going leg before wicket without scoring. Harshit Kaushik too fell to Abrar’s magic, caught by Faheem without an impact at 3 runs to add to the team’s woes.
Shaheen, slightly less economical with an economy rate of 5.75, came up clutch bowling a big total of 4 overs. Salman Mirza was important to that bowling onslaught, seeing just 31 runs scored in his 4 overs. At the same time, Nawaz did his bit by leaking 30 runs in just 3 overs. Saim bowled superbly, conceding just 29 runs in his 3 overs.
UAE’s batting lineup had a tough time against the disciplined Pakistani bowlers. Sharafu made waves on behalf of the UAE by smashing an imposing 68 runs off only 51 balls. His performance was a big ray of sunshine and provided some serious resistance. The rest of the batting order excelled at being terrible when it mattered the most. Dhruv Parashar remained not out on 18, while Haider Ali was run out for 12, and Muhammad Waseem scored 19 off 19 balls. D’Souza made little impact scoring just 9 runs in 14 balls.
Pakistan’s bowling attack was relentless, and despite Sharafu’s efforts, the UAE could not build sufficient partnerships to set a challenging target. It was the team’s united sense of purpose and teamwork on the pitch that truly illustrated their championship resolve and prowess. They attacked the tri-series into submission with complete cavalier contempt.
