Out! That's It. Pakistan win the UAE Tri-Series 2025 title and they have dominated the final. After the first innings it seemed like the pitch was difficult but Afghanistan were strongly in the game. But once Mohammad Nawaz was introduced, he scalped four wickets in six balls to tilt the game strongly towards Pakistan. The rest of it was a formality. Pakistan will be confident while entering the Asia Cup 2025 now.  AM Ghazanfar c Abrar Ahmed b Sufiyan Muqeem 7(7).
Out! Pakistan are one wicket away from victory and the title here. Noor Ahmad had no option but to go hard against Sufiyan Muqeem, doesn't get it right and the circle fielder runs back to grab the ball which got skied by Noor. Afghanistan are collapsing like a pack of cards and Pakistan are on the top. Noor Ahmad c Abrar Ahmed b Sufiyan Muqeem 3(6).
Out! Rashid Khan departs after a short cameo. He tried his best with a few big shots but it was too big a target he was chasing, Ends up playing one shot too many and it is the day of Mohammad Nawaz. Miscues it in the hand of the deep fielder and his innings comes to an end. Nawaz completes his five-wicket haul. Noor Ahmad c Abrar Ahmed b Sufiyan Muqeem 3(6).
Out! Another one bites the dust. Abrar Ahmed strikes this time. Afghanistan had no clue how to deal with Pakistan's spin attack and it showed in how they kept losing wickets. It was short ball and wide, Mohammad Nabi slaps it but the ball travels straight to the hands of the cover fielder. Nabi c Salman Agha b Abrar Ahmed 3(10).
Out! Mohammad Nawaz's entry has shaken the core of the Afghanistan batting. With the wicket of Ibrahim Zadran, he completed his hattrick and in the same over he also dismissed Karim Janat, scalping four wickets in just six deliveries. Pakistan are on top of the game and are favourites to win it now. Karim Janat lbw b Nawaz 0(3).
Out! Hat-Trick! Mohammed Nawaz sticks to the same line and the ball turns away from Ibrahim Zadran who is overbalanced and wicketkeeper Mohammad Haris does a clean job taking the bails off. It is a hat-trick for Mohammad Nawaz who dismissed Darwish Rasooli and Azmatullah Omarzai in his last over. Pakistan are dominating here. Ibrahim Zadran st Mohammad Haris b Nawaz 9(15).
Out! Two in two. Mohammad Nawaz is off and he should be. Nice length ball on the off-stump, Azamtullah Omarzai gets lured into the cut but the length was slightly fuller for it. Ends up nicking it into the hands of the wicketkeeper. Big wicket this and Pakistan now have things in control. Azmatullah c Mohammad Haris b Nawaz 0(1).
Out! Pakistan are strongly in the game now. Mohammad Nawaz gets one ball to turn big and Darwish Rasooli gets hit flush in front of the stumps. He played the line of the ball but the ball did enough to get through. Umpire took his time but adjudged out. Darwish Rasooli lbw b Nawaz 0(5).
Out! Pakistan get a major breakthrough during the powerplay. It is the dangerman Sediqullah Atal who departs. Tries to drive a floaty delivery from Abrar Ahmed. The ball ends up being uppish and the cover fielder takes a good catch. Key wicket scalped by Pakistan. Sediqullah Atal c Faheem Ashraf b Abrar Ahmed 13(15).
Out! Rahmanullah Gurbaz's poor outing in the UAE Tri-Series continues. Back of a length outside off, Gurbaz tries the late cut but only manages an edge that flies to the hands of the slip fielder. Early breakthrough for Pakistan and Shaheen Shah Afridi is elated. Gurbaz c Sahibzada Farhan b Shaheen Afridi 5(4).

Here's the Reason for Continental Competition's Change of Format This Year.
Pakistan national cricket team have performed well under their captain Salman Ali Agha. Except for the one match they slipped up against Afghanistan, Pakistan have even bailed themselves out from pressure situations. Specially against UAE in the second round of games, Pakistan were in pressure after losing five wickets quickly, but Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Nawaz kept grinding and, in the end, made sure they set a solid total on board. Abrar Ahmed came in for Sufiyan Muqeem and impressed straightaway. Salman Ali Agha would be confident of all the weapons in his hand but at the same time will ne worried about the collapse the team suffered in the last two games.
Afghanistan national cricket team on the other hand, will be confident entering the final as they are coming in with victories in three consecutive games. They have found a formula to be competitive in these conditions and they executed it to perfection last time they faced Pakistan. They are looking for a partnership between the two of their top three, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran. Once their is a platform to launch, the likes of Azmatullah Omarzai, Karim Janat and Rashid Khan can show their power-hitting and lead their team to a solid total. Against the three-man attack of Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, it will be a challenge for Pakistan to challenge that target. Rashid Khan, as a captain, will look to replicate the same in the final. Is Asia Cup 2025 Live Telecast Available on DD Sports, DD Free Dish and Doordarshan National TV Channels in India?
