00:00well afghanistan boss pakistan in that game but today pakistan are playing uae
00:30in this all-important fifth t20i of this tournament at the toss it was salman ali aga who called
00:37correctly and he elected to bat first pakistan have made a couple of changes the top order remains
00:45the same it's farhan and saim fakhar at three aga the captain at four and hassan nawaz is in the
00:52middle order and then we come to the all-rounders nawaz harris faheem china fridi played in the last
00:59game also salman mirza comes back for another gig and abra has been included for the first time
01:04in this tournament i've got neil here with me neil your take on the ua side
01:12well what an interesting change there the opener has been changed alishan sharfu comes in as zuhaib has
01:19been given rest this is a rahul asif that is a phenomenal striking top order harshit the newcomer
01:27from the previous game we get on the chance drew heather javadullah makes the seam attack really
01:32tight with rohid and junaid in the mix play play has been called by fire shiju sam
01:42heather will come into bold
01:51work on that shot because twice nice is out playing from the crease
01:59that is smashed into the fence for four so he gets a cracking start saw it early and punish it past
02:06that cover fielder i mean that is hammered absolutely nailed couple of loose balls being put away
02:21oh that's landed over in fact it's gone all the way out of the stadium i don't know whether this is a
02:29good change from top six that's gone all the way for another big one big shot didn't really came off
02:41the middle of the bat i think he was a little worried whether that fielder would be in business or not
02:48that's it is the call and it may work for uae so the change actually happens and works half trekker
03:01was tracked down by the field at mid wicket
03:04it's a longer boundary a 70 meter boundary and the fielder ethan de souza one of the better ones that ue has
03:11produced shaib zala farhan will have to walk 16 of 11 28 for one pakistan
03:22ah beautifully played through the offside
03:26a great way to start the innings a shorter boundary on that side there is something in this pitch
03:34oh gone caught behind just a bit airy fairy through that off stem channel
03:39saima you was never on top of that line jeanette siddiqui he was waiting for that for a very long
03:46time picking up his hundredth rolling his fingers over the ball and a big wicket saima you
03:53jeanette siddiqui the long old warrior of uae cricket rewarded with his hundredth his persistence
04:02his hard work saima you've gone pakistan 35 for two oh that's gone for sakes it's a flat hit
04:12not such a bad ball it was hard length but obviously pakhar felt that there was a chance for him
04:19oh lovely see him again going away from salman ali aga this time the edge goes to the keeper there was
04:29once again deviation for the left armor played away from his body and had to pay the ultimate prize
04:38jubilation for the left armor as the pakistani captain who is removed for only seven fifty four three pakistan
04:52a lovely shot lovely sound off the bat
04:55hit it well in front of square and hit it extremely well
05:04iris challenges the onside and hits it over the top well that's how he plays
05:15huge appeal and gone
05:16that is a fabulous over and just the end that heather ali wanted
05:26more pace fuller in length and an easy decision for the umpire pakistan in a spot of bother
05:34with harris perishing for 14 74 for four
05:38this is a huge appeal and another one falls brilliant bowling from heather ali and hassan
05:47nawas had no answer to that one turning sharply taking the outside edge and the keeper doing the
05:52rest bowling full and he's been creating that doubt in the mind of the batter this time around that's
05:57just uh healthy edge into the hands of the wicket keeper
06:01uh was uh got four of six balls and uh he has to now leave pakistan 84.5
06:13once again uh cut and cut in the gap this time has a bit more pace on it and will get to the boundary
06:18a much needed one for pakistan and welcome boundary off to 27 deliveries this
06:23that's gone is it gone yes just about makes it over the fence 100 comes up for pakistan it was an
06:34extremely good smack from the left-hander in his arc donate coming on to bowl again
06:40airlifts it for a very fine six i think well timed this time avoiding the fielder at long off
06:47that's spread away nicely for at least two
06:56it's a 50 for fakhar zaman courtesy that lackluster effort from the fielder
07:0450 from 34 balls is gone at a very good strike rate of 147.1 held the innings together
07:11oh pakistan sliced it deliberately back to back boundaries oh fakhar zaman
07:26that's beautifully placed for four nawaz is playing a sterler here he's
07:31pushed himself into the 20s more importantly
07:33and very good with improvisation that's gone all the way probably for a six it's a four but well executed
07:48that's an outside edge for four things working perfectly for nawaz in pakistan
07:53they were hoping to get to 150 now it's a clear-cut case of maybe getting more than 150
07:59well that's gone flat probably for six
08:08it's a tremendous hit
08:14nice very nice
08:17is really played well the position early and scooping that one
08:22runs singles big shots are sliced into the fence it's become unstoppable now on 65
08:35another very good improvised shot for four
08:40you keep on bowling on the pads and that two full tosses is not going to remain
08:44another boundary even though he wanted to hit it maybe somewhere over a bit off for cover 167 for five
08:59and add four to that
09:02five fours in a row tremendous entertainment and not from fakhar zaman he ends up with a brilliant 77
09:10now these two batters they help pakistan finish off very strongly now that 90 run 91 runs partnership
09:18of 51 deliveries brighten up things for pakistan in this game akhar zaman batted at a good strike rate
09:26kept on fighting with the opposition kept on fighting with themselves he knew the situation is not very
09:33bright for pakistan worked hard and in the end where this partner nawaz brought pakistan kind of safety
09:40in this game heatherly the pick of the bowlers economy of 4.25 picked up couple of wickets for just 17
09:49it's good time really to see what he has got to offer regarding his bowling and uh uae chances they've
09:56got no choice but to win this can they win this 172 from 20 overs shaheen who certainly knows how to pick
10:05up wickets with the new ball he has a job to do
10:11runs on board and i reckon that will settle in some nerves if any for alishan sharfu
10:23stepping out and runs on board that will be the first boundary of the innings alishan sharfu he gets a four
10:29yeah this time he doesn't need to move his feet doesn't need to come down the ground all he needs
10:37to do is stand watch the ball and caress it gorgeously for a four this time it's short this time it's aerial
10:46and this time it's the first maximum backs away and gets the gap powerfully hit
11:00time alishan backs away goes over extra cover inside out beautiful shot
11:06and straight away after the power play abroad delivers the caram ball and he gets a huge wicket
11:19captain was team departs and you are in business as a lick spinner cleverly bowled by him gave a lot of
11:27air to that delivery and a bra his first outing prevailed for pakistan and he removed the danger
11:37ban captain of ua for 19 it's 41 for one and that's where from runs didn't come but i it seems like
11:46they've changed gears this one goes out for a maximum
11:49it's a solid lapetta as you say cross batted slot for six
12:00it's a flake for six magnificent strike this now you've got to give it to the batsman because
12:07this had a lot of class wonderfully timed and it works wonders
12:12and done maybe it's tapalti time for the batsman also he can go out in the dugout and enjoy a kappa
12:23he's not a big striker of the ball so you would think probably unnecessary dismissal there
12:29he thought that he would be able to clear the field it didn't get enough timing on that now
12:34was given away 14 will feel very relieved for taking a wicket in that over breaking the partnership
12:40of 31 run even this was our makes nine uae are 72 for two
12:47that's hit hard for six he's a strong hitter down the ground is an excellent option 11 runs in that over
12:5683 for two
13:00goes high goes big is this going to be the end of the innings is it yes
13:05it's beautifully taken by shahin shah fridi abrar was asked to come and bowl and pick a wicket and
13:11he's done exactly that abroad the pick of the bowler tonight has been brought in didn't get the timing
13:17right on it the ball was bowled a little slower but that catch nawaz and shahin shah and did everything
13:24uh that could have missed the catch but then shahin shah's focus made sure that the cage is held on to
13:31asif han departs after making only seven uae 84 for three but uh he was not getting distracted that's a
13:38loud appeal that's a loud appeal and has been given two wickets in the same over from abrar things falling
13:45apart for uae the spinner off the surface then you're a little late in executing probably going
13:53down the lakeside i don't know i'm wasn't 100 but anyway abra with a theatrical appeal got the better
14:01of the batsmen and probably the umpire also gone for naught 84 for four
14:06this is meaty this is good enough for a six almost sliced it 50 comes up for a sheriff what a good
14:20innings 38 ball 50 goes again just like the other one it's straight and it's big and it's a six well
14:32you'll think that he is batting on a different surface fours and four sixes to him he's batted
14:37brilliantly catch it this could be his fourth it is a bra once again amongst wickets and almost
14:47every over is picked up a wicket at least that's his best figure in t20i
14:56very good catch taken uh from faheem ashraf catching has been brilliant pakistan has been brilliant
15:01abroad has been brilliant given away only nine took four wickets harsit koshik have to walk back
15:07making only 302 for five off to 15. come to the party that's a good shot shot ball and he's just
15:15ramped it over the top the runs are coming in from that one willow of alishan sharfu
15:20one and taken lovely catch from the captain tahini changes the pace yet again and finds success
15:35jaheen sharfu rolling his fingers over the ball and a splendid well-judged catch by salman aga
15:42appreciation coming in from shaheen alishan sharfu departs after a well-made 68 of 51
15:55are away in the gap nicely played to the fence a boundary there for heather
16:02the only other person who got into double figures is vaseem everyone else out on a single digit score
16:16probably look back at the 16th over and they were bowling so unassumingly and well yes
16:26yes seems so that's grounded but way out the bill's been removed yes they have
16:43so just like that a run out
16:48but everybody by a surprise heatherly he's run out for 12 132 for seven
16:52uh
16:57balls of dododo means two but then i reckon a big effort and a boundary will be called opportunity
17:10holds for two will get a couple of runs and that should be
17:15it pakistan winning this game by 31 runs stamping their authority in this trination series but at
17:24the same time for uae it is curtains yes they will have one more game but this opportunity to make it
17:32to the finals is completely out of their hands phenomenal performances coming in with the bat
17:38with the ball from pakistan uae will definitely have a lot to take from this game and that is
17:45learnings as far as the batting is concerned it was only alishan sharfu who stood tall 68 of 51
17:52after being promoted to open the innings in place of zoeib masim stood there for 19 runs but after
17:58that the middle order collapse that's been the hallmark of the uae batting the middle order has
18:04looked very soft through near the end of it all got a boundary and a respectable score i reckon
18:11that's his highest in d20 internationals 18 140 on board 31 runs shot uae never looked in control of
18:21this chase nine chafridi look good for four overs one for 23 nawaz with the wicket but the standout by far
18:30four overs four for nine 15 dots and bra today was not decipherable 171 for five courtesy fucker 77 of 44
18:45and nawaz with 37 of 27 row it was good with the view ball one for 21 header would have had four but
18:55ended up with two for 17 of his four then uae in pursuit lovely innings of sharifu 68 of 51 but nothing
19:03much else as abrar spun his web four for nine for him pakistan winning by 31 runs and that means that
19:14pakistan are through they have qualified with agwanistan uae out of the race they still have a match to play
19:20again agwanistan but the final which will be played on the 7th of september will be between pakistan and
19:26afghanistan
