00:26It is the big final
00:27In this Inverick Solar Energy presents
00:30Bangkok Fly Tri-Nation Series 2025
00:33Pakistan taking on Afghanistan
00:36Afghanistan no more the minnows
00:37Earlier at the toss
00:39It was Salman Aliaga who called correctly
00:42Won the toss
00:43Decided to bat
00:46Pakistan making only one change
00:48Salman Mirza is out
00:49Sufyan Mukim is in
00:51The top order remains the same
00:52A lot of potential
00:54A lot of firepower
00:56Two spinners featuring today
00:59For Pakistan
01:02Afghanistan on the other hand
01:04Actually they made six changes
01:05From the last game
01:06But it's the same team
01:07That played against Pakistan
01:09A couple of nights before
01:11It's a heavyweight when it comes to bowling
01:13I think that is where
01:14Afghanistan score against most sides
01:17Terrific bowling spread
01:20We are in readiness
01:23To call the first ball of this Tri-Nation's final
01:26Here we go then
01:27Pakistan winning the toss and choosing to bat
01:32I said back into the right-hander
01:33That's a good start
01:35A lift arm
01:35A lift arm
01:37A lift arm
01:39Ball in
01:39Played across the line
01:40It's a big one
01:43And a sad exit
01:44Gets a duck
01:46In the final of the Tri-Nation's
01:49And the entire stadium has erupted
01:53Ball just nipped back in
01:55Straightened after pitching
01:57That big huge swing
01:59No connection whatsoever
02:02The only connection he will make
02:03Is with the seat in the dugout
02:05Out on a duck
02:08There is a cut shot
02:10That's his pet shot
02:11Provided a little bit of width
02:13And it did the distance in a jiffy
02:16That's a cracking four
02:21Now how good is that
02:23That is such a beautiful shot
02:26Just walked into that half-ballee
02:27And absolutely nailed it
02:30He's off the mark with a glorious four
02:35Catch is the call
02:36This should be taken
02:37Is it?
02:38It's on the bounce
02:39Over the rope
02:40Reacting just a little bit late
02:42The progress is a spinning unit
02:44Last ball
02:46That's airlifted
02:47For a gigantic six
02:49It's on the roof
02:52It's a bazooka shot
02:54From Fakhar Zaman
02:55Ends the over
02:56On a real high
03:00In the air
03:02Soft dismissal
03:07Just hung the bat
03:09Without any conviction
03:11Sam Ayub
03:13Ball pitching in the right direction
03:15And Sam
03:16Not knowing which way it's gonna go
03:18Tentative stroke
03:19And also that extra bounce
03:21Hitting the top of the bat
03:23An easy take
03:24For Rashid Khan
03:25Would be disappointed
03:2617 he got off
03:2719 deliveries
03:28Pakistan 49 for 2
03:32This is very close
03:34Mighty close it is
03:35And there goes the finger
03:36Straight away
03:37A huge impact on the game
03:38Rashid
03:39As he so often does
03:40Takes the key with it
03:42Move outside
03:43The line of that delivery
03:45And missed it completely
03:47And an easy decision
03:49For the umpire
03:50Pakistan
03:51In a spot of bother
03:53The man who led them
03:54To 170 in the previous game
03:56Fakhar Zaman
03:5727 he got off 26
03:59And Pakistan
04:00And Pakistan
04:00A 51 for 3
04:01It's gonna be a test
04:02Of character
04:04Asan Nawaz
04:05Did well
04:06Very well
04:08Pick the ball
04:09Very early
04:10The length also
04:11Delayed the stroke
04:12To be able
04:13To hit the ball
04:14Into the gap
04:14This is fine batting
04:28Asan Nawaz
04:29And he did not miss a catch
04:31Has brought
04:32Catch it
04:33And he's in the air
04:34And he's skied
04:35Once again
04:36Chance
04:36Will this be taken
04:38Yes
04:39Rashid Khan has his man
04:42Well yeah
04:43One more chance
04:44One more opportunity
04:45One more time
04:46The ball going up
04:47In the night sky
04:48And Sharjah has erupted
04:51The ball went up
04:52In the night sky
04:54The fielder coming
04:55Underneath
04:56Would have had
04:57His heart in his mouth
04:58He wouldn't want
04:59To drop that
04:59He surely did not
05:02As Hassan Nawaz
05:03Departs 15
05:04Of 8
05:05Get rid
05:08Another one
05:10Mohammed Harris
05:11Yet again
05:12Takes the risk
05:14Doesn't come off
05:19Trying to go
05:20Across the line
05:20Gave it
05:21Everything that he had
05:22Just the connection
05:24Missing
05:24But no problem
05:25With the ball
05:26And the stumps
05:28Mohammed Harris
05:28Gone
05:29Scoring just
05:30Two
05:30Of three
05:33Now
05:34Goes after
05:35This
05:35Deeper
05:35Wicket
05:36And
05:37The connections
05:38Good
05:40Has that
05:41Gone all the way
05:42There'll be a check
05:42Let's create
05:44A situation
05:45Oh that's a good hit
05:48He's a competent
05:49Backspin
05:50Against this
05:51Pakistani captain
05:52Not the first time
05:54He has hit the ball
05:55In that direction
05:56Against Rashid Khan
05:57Amazing
05:58Goes big
06:00This time
06:01Has it cleared the fence
06:02It is another six
06:04Magnificent hitting
06:05Certainly
06:06The tempo
06:07Has been raised
06:08With a couple of sixes
06:12That's gone up in the air
06:14And a sad exit
06:15Is a plus
06:18Rashid Khan
06:19Just letting everyone know
06:21What was the fuss about
06:22I'm here
06:23And it's a big costly scalp
06:25Of Salman Ali Agha
06:27After hitting a couple of great sixes
06:29He's been done
06:30In his action
06:31In his action
06:32And Pakistani captain thought
06:33It's a very
06:34Very short delivery
06:36It wasn't
06:37And that extra bounce
06:39Doing the trick
06:39For Rashid Khan
06:40It's one
06:42One two for six
06:44With Salman Ali Agha
06:45Going back
06:46After scoring 24
06:51Oh straight hit
06:52What a beginning
06:53What a crushing blow
06:54That is
06:55First ball
06:56Hits the fence
06:56It's a hard straight drive
07:00And after 17
07:02Six down for 116
07:04How many can they get
07:05There's the reverse flake
07:07Here's another four
07:08He's dealing in boundaries
07:10This is excellent thinking
07:11Great improvisation
07:15Now everybody watching this
07:18Tellerwise
07:21And it's a smash over cover
07:23Has it done the distance
07:25That's a great six
07:26That really is an amazing shot
07:28Because everything felt
07:29As if it was being done
07:31In slow motion
07:34Yeah
07:35Got behind
07:36It is done
07:37The finger has been raised
07:39So against the run of play
07:40They've got rid of
07:41Fahim Ashraf
07:42He's batting so well
07:43Just a dinky shot
07:45Attempted
07:45Not his game
07:47But anyway
07:49Ever since
07:50Saima Yu
07:51Was removed
07:52From the centre
07:53It has been
07:54Stop start
07:54Stop start
07:55For Pakistan
07:57In this game
07:58Wicket has fallen
07:59And now
08:00It was Fahim
08:01Gone for 15
08:02130 for 7
08:05Nawaz
08:05Hits it hard
08:06Hits it straight
08:07It's a 6
08:08Great start
08:09To the over
08:11136
08:11Now for 7
08:14Kumo
08:15Slow ball
08:19That's clubbed
08:20Up in the air
08:21Will this be taken
08:22It's
08:24End of Nawaz
08:27And a great follow up delivery
08:29After being straight driven
08:30For 6
08:31Space off the ball
08:32A 6 being hit
08:34And after that
08:35Wicket has fallen
08:38Now Pakistan daily
08:39He wanted
08:40Nawaz
08:41To face
08:42Next 4 deliveries
08:4425 from 21
08:46136 for 8
08:47Pakistan
08:50Walks into that one
08:52Misses the ball
08:52Direct hit
08:55And
08:58It's a bye
08:59And the fans
09:01Have loved this performance
09:02From Afghanistan
09:03They've come in huge numbers
09:05To support a team
09:06That has outdone Pakistan
09:08In the first part of the night
09:11Yeah as long as
09:12As long as
09:14The Pakistani bowling resources
09:15Are not used with tunnel vision
09:17Yeah the strike trade
09:19Tells you the story
09:20It was a vigil
09:22For the Pakistani batters
09:23It's all about Afghanistan
09:25How well the resources were used
09:27Rashid Khan
09:28Fronting up
09:28To the task
09:29With wickets
09:30And led them brilliantly
09:323 for the captain
09:332 for Noor
09:34Nabi none for 28
09:35Ghazan for the young kid
09:371 for 27
09:38And 2 for 19
09:39For Faruqi
09:40Bamboozled
09:41The opposition
09:42With change of pace
09:43And variations
09:44They need
09:47142
09:48They need to bat decently
09:51The pressure
09:52Of the final
09:54142 to get
09:56In their
09:5720 overs
09:59Afghanistan
10:00Need 142
10:01Chai and Shah
10:03Freydy
10:03With the first delivery
10:09On the leg side
10:10It is a wide
10:11A bit of swing though
10:14He's back in
10:15Turned away
10:16Leg side
10:16The crowd
10:19Is up
10:19Because that has reached the fence
10:22A flick to the fence
10:23And the first boundary
10:254-1 is done
10:26In that regard
10:29Edge and taken
10:31Wicket provided
10:33First over
10:33Once again
10:35It is that man
10:36Shaheen Shah Freydy
10:38Wonderful scenes
10:40There
10:40Brilliantly bold
10:41Cutter
10:42And
10:43The off cutter
10:45An easy catch
10:47For the first lift
10:48Standing there
10:49Saibzada Farhan
10:50Making no mistake
10:50And this is
10:51What Pakistan wanted
10:54Just a wicket
10:55They wanted
10:56In the first over
10:57Hurba is out
10:58For 5
10:59Afghanistan
11:007 for 1
11:02Brilliantly
11:02Fielding
11:04Stai pulls it
11:05Leg side
11:06Went quickly
11:09Went flat
11:12Hassan Nawaz
11:12Diving forward
11:14It's a very difficult skill
11:16Left handers
11:17The googly
11:17Goes outside
11:18Off stump
11:20Atal down the track
11:22Dragged it
11:23Leg side
11:24Will he get the gap
11:25Yes
11:26I think that's
11:27Gone to the fence
11:28Nawaz signals
11:29The boundary
11:29Atal does
11:31Use his feet
11:32This time
11:33In the air
11:33And going
11:34Straight to cover
11:36Another one
11:37Gone
11:37It is abroad
11:39And Sadikul Atal
11:41Soft dismissal
11:42Hits it to cover
11:43Exactly how you drive the ball
11:46Just have a look at this
11:48Not on top of the ball
11:50And lobbing
11:52An easy catch
11:53To Faheem Ashraf
11:53Who makes no mistake
11:54And Abraar
11:55Is pumped up
11:56Sadikul Atal
11:57The man in form
11:58Goes
11:59He got 13 of 15
12:00And Afghanistan
12:02At 28 for 2
12:12Where did it pitch
12:13Did it pitch
12:14Within the stumps
12:16This is
12:17A tremendous strike
12:19From Nawaz
12:19For me
12:21Was the right call
12:22From that angle
12:24It's very difficult
12:25For a left arm spinner
12:26To pitch the ball
12:27Outside the leg stump
12:29That race goes for
12:30No
12:31Run
12:31And it's 29 for 3
12:36Gone
12:37Cut behind
12:38Big sound
12:39And Nabaz
12:40Picks up another
12:41This is happening
12:43Now for Pakistan
12:45They can sense
12:46A kill here
12:47Pour down Afghanistan
12:48And it's a huge gap
12:50For the left arm
12:52A bit of bounce
12:56That had the baller
12:57Gaining on that occasion
12:59And what a turnaround
13:00This is
13:01Pakistan on top
13:02Another duck
13:04In the innings
13:0529 for 4
13:08Oh beautiful ball
13:10It's a massive appeal
13:12From the keeper
13:13Not given by the umpire
13:15He thinks there is no edge
13:17Sadran
13:18And that's what
13:19They are checking
13:20Full stride in
13:21And yes
13:24And that is
13:25A huge wicket
13:26And hat trick
13:28For
13:29Muhammad Nawaz
13:30What a terrific
13:32Spell of bowling
13:33And to get rid of
13:34Sadran is
13:36Absolutely
13:36Doubly huge
13:41Another one
13:42And he's done
13:43Nawaz is
13:45Absolutely
13:46Nailing it now
13:50Took no time
13:51To make the call
13:52And the right one
13:55And he's on fire
13:58Not Kareem Jannat
14:00Third duck of the innings
14:02His innings of Afghanistan
14:04Railing
14:0532 for 6
14:07Terrific piece of bowling
14:08Down the pitch
14:10That slice
14:11That 6
14:13Something still may happen
14:15For Afghanistan
14:17But he's not good enough to catch the umpire
14:22Look at that
14:23Couldn't get him on the previous one
14:25This time
14:26There is no requirement of the umpire's decision
14:29Because a simple straightforward catch
14:31And Mohan Nabi
14:32Is gone
14:35But that's the course of events
14:37Everything going Pakistan's way now
14:40Well yeah
14:42Talman says
14:43I didn't really see it coming my way
14:45It was a poor delivery to say so
14:48And should have been sent to the boundary
14:50Instant
14:51Agha picks up the catch
14:53Mohan Nabi is out
14:543 of 10
14:55And Afghanistan
14:57In deep deep trouble
15:02Up in the air
15:03Where is it going
15:06Beyond the boundary line
15:07For a maximum
15:08Rashid Khan has
15:10Announced his intent
15:12Oh so clearly
15:17We don't know for this time
15:18He's not got enough
15:19Is there someone to take it
15:21Wicketkeeper says
15:21I will do it
15:22There is a collision
15:24But Salman Agha
15:26Finally will take the catch
15:27Comfortably
15:29Rashid will have to walk
15:30But Salman is down on the floor
15:34And that is his
15:35Fifth
15:36The biggest wicket of them all
15:38Rashid Khan
15:40Iman Agha
15:40I just hope he's fine
15:42I just hope he's fine
15:43That collision
15:4655 for it
15:50Rashid happened
15:51Alright
15:52A really played
15:53Now chance of a catch
15:54Yes
15:54Began
15:55Sufyan Mukheem
15:56Will get his way
15:57Take it
15:58And Afghanistan
16:00Are in tatters
16:02Ninth wicket gone
16:03Ibrard
16:04Was fielding at third position
16:06No problems with the front foot
16:08Another Afghan batter
16:10Trying to go big
16:11And only edging it
16:12Where Ibrard takes it safely
16:14No big deal
16:15Signals
16:16That is Sufyan
16:17A new Ramah gone
16:19Three of six
16:20Afghanistan
16:2157 for nine
16:23This innings of Afghanistan
16:25And there's another chance
16:27It's in the air
16:29But it's a chance for the spectators to catch
16:32Six
16:33Well there's something for the Afghan fans
16:36To cheer
16:36Beautiful life cup partner
16:40Gone
16:40It's all over Pakistan
16:42Win this
16:45It's a clinical performance with the ball
16:49Handshakes all around
16:51They absolutely
16:52Bossed Afghanistan
16:54In the later part of the evening
16:57Salman Aliaga
16:58Has got a feather in the cap
17:00This is a big moment for the Pakistani fans
17:03For the Pakistan cricket team
17:05This tri-nations
17:06Just before the Asia cup
17:07Was supposed to work like this
17:09And eventually it has
17:11Smiles all around
17:13Some Afghanistan fans
17:15A bit stunned
17:16Because they felt at the break
17:18That they have discovered
17:19But not to be
17:20Mohammed Nawaz
17:22Bowled brilliantly
17:24Second lowest
17:25T20 I scored
17:26Defended at Sharjah
17:30The betting went pear-shaped
17:32For Afghanistan
17:33Right from ball number one
17:35Till the end
17:36It took 15.5 hours
17:38For Pakistan
17:39To
17:40All out of Afghanistan
17:42In fact
17:42Blew them a wave
17:44Nawaz was the catalyst
17:46Picked up
17:46Five for nineteen
17:47Including a hat-trick
17:48From his four overs
17:50Saim Ayoub
17:51Three overs
17:51None for ten
17:52And
17:53Sufjan Mukheem
17:53Two for nine
17:54Abrar also
17:56Making his presence felt
17:57Two for seventy
18:00So that is the summary
18:01Of the game
18:02Pakistan
18:02141 for eight
18:03Afghanistan
18:04Just didn't turn up
18:06Second time around
18:06Blown away for 66
18:09Nawaz
18:10The standout performer
18:11Five for nineteen
18:12Including a hat-trick
18:13And Pakistan
18:13Winning the tri-nations
18:15With a wide margin
18:16Of 75
18:17Five
18:17Five
18:17Five
18:18Five
18:19Five
