Last few wickets of UAE came down crashing. A run out and then two desperate dismissals from the tailenders. Pakistan will be happy as it was a clinical job done by the bowlers and specially credits will go to Shaheen Shah Afridi who took Pakistan's score out of the chasable range for UAE. Relief for Pakistan as they qualify for the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4's.
Out! The last bit of hopes are also fading away for UAE. Rahul Chopra was the last man standing for them but the pressure of the asking rate got to a point that he had to go for the shots and trying it, he got holed out in the deep. In the next over, Shaheen Shah Afridi had Harshit Kaushik nick one behind. Pakistan are awaiting the victory and the qualification here. Rahul Chopra c Hasan Nawaz b Salman Agha 35(35) and Harshit Kaushik c Mohammad Haris b Shaheen Afridi 0(1).
Out! Cleaned Up. Asif Khan goes for the wild swing, doesn't pick the googly from the hands of Abrar Ahmed and gets cleaned up. He had to go for the shots with the position UAE are in and he ended up playing all over it. UAE are in deep trouble here. Asif Khan b Abrar Ahmed 0(4).
Out! Things got to a point where Dhruv Parashar had to swing at everything and he did that to Haris Rauf. Got an outside edge to a lofted shot attempted over cover. The ball stayed in the air long enough for the sweeper cover fielder to run in and take an easy catch in the end. Pakistan are still ahead in the game. Dhruv Parashar c Khushdil b Haris Rauf 20(23).
Rahul Chopra and Dhruv Parashar have looked to not losing wickets in a heap and building their innings step by step. They have played out the four overs after the fall of the third wicket and have consolidated the innings to some extent. The task is still tough for them but they keep trying.
Out! UAE keep losing early wickets. Saim Ayub is the man this time and he brings out the good ball in a second consecutive game. Gets the ball to skid in from outside off and Muhammad Zohaib tried to negotiate it from the backfoot. Doesn't get his bat down in time and gets his stumps rattled. Pakistan are on top here as they have the upper hand now. Muhammad Zohaib b Saim Ayub 4(9).
Out! Pakistan have got both the big wickets of UAE in the powerplay. First Shaheen Shah Afridi cleans up Alishan Sharafu with a stunning yorker and then Abrar Ahmed foxes Muhammad Waseem into an attacking stroke. The edge was flying over the circle fielder but Mohammad Nawaz tracks back to take a very good catch. UAE in trouble. Muhammad Waseem c Nawaz b Abrar Ahmed 14(15) and Alishan Sharafu b Shaheen Afridi 12(8).
Some solid power hitting from Shaheen Shah Afridi in the death overs and they get 18 runs off the last over. Shaheen got the hold of Muhammad Rohid Khan twice in the first two balls, clearing them for sixes. Then he got a four and made sure the bowlers including himself have a total to bowl at. His cameo bails out Pakistan from a rather poor situation.
Out! Another great use of slower one from Junaid Siddique and he has been on a roll. Rolls his fingers on the ball keeping it at the stumps. Mohammad Haris went for a ramp shot, but gets beaten by the lack of pace and his stumps are knocked off. Solid bowling from Siddique. Mohammad Haris b Junaid Siddique 18(14).
Out! Another dismissal for Pakistan and Mohammad Nawaz. They have barely been able to dominate for continuous overs. Slower ball from Junaid Siddique, Nawaz tries to play a lofted shot, gets beaten by the slower one and the ball gets skied. Captain Muhammad Waseem runs back to take a very good catch. Nawaz c Muhammad Waseem b Junaid Siddique 4(5).

There has been controversy around the Pakistan vs UAE Asia Cup 2025 match.
