Pakistan vs Afghanistan Full Scorecard

Full, outside off, defended towards the off side.

Down the leg side, the googly, Nabi looks to flick but misses. The ball runs fine off his pads, through short fine leg and the batters get a couple of leg byes.

Another massive shout for LBW, but turned down. This probably pitched outside leg and caught Nabi in his crease as he looked to flick. Also, he was hit high on the pads, so height would have been a factor as well.

OUT! CAUGHT! That should be the final straw. Landed outside off, Mohammad Nabi backs away to the leg side and looks to force this through the covers. But he does not keep it down and hits it straight to Salman Agha at cover. Nabi departs for 3 (10) and Afghanistan are 46/7, needing another 96 from 56 balls! It is all upto Rashid Khan now, whether he can do a Glenn Maxwell or not.

Shorter in length and on off, Noor Ahmad stabs it out to covers.

Wrong'un, full and around off, Noor Ahmad reaches out and carves it to sweeper covers for one.

Gets turn and bounce right away! Floated, short and on middle and leg, turns in sharply, Noor Ahmad nudges it off his hips through square leg for a single.

Goes short again and around off, Rashid Khan cuts it but fails to beat point.

Flatter, dragged back, on middle, Rashid Khan moves across but gets cramped up for him fails to tuck it away.

Another shortish delivery, spinning in sharply, Rashid Khan fails to read it and takes a blow around his thighs.

Flatter, short and outside off, skids through, Rashid Khan fails to cut it away. He is not happy with himself.

Flatter, full and on middle, Rashid Khan tucks it away through mid-wicket for one.

SIX! PUNISHED! Around off, short in length, spinning away. Rashid Khan hangs back and with a flat bat, smashes it over long on for a huge six.

OUT! STRAIGHT UP AND GONE! All going Pakistan's way in the finale! Nawaz is smart as he dishes out a flighted delivery, on a tad fuller length this time. But on this occasion, he keeps the ball well away from the batter's reach, and invites Rashid to go big on the flight. Rashid falls prey on the flight. Takes a good stride forward and tries to hoist it over long off, but due to the ball holding and gripping off the deck, he mistimes it and slices it high up, just over the cover region. Now, this should have been a straightforward catch for Salman Agha stationed at cover, but Mohammad Haris rushes forward and there is a late call from Salman for the catch, but Haris keeps running. They both collide, but somehow, Salman maintains his cool and takes it despite colliding with the keeper. Both seem to be in some pain but eventually get on their feet. Mohammad Nawaz has his five-for and what a sensational spell of bowling this has been from him. Rashid Khan departs 17 (18) and Afghanistan are 55/8.

UPPISH BUT SAFE! Flighted, full and around off, turns away, Allah Mohammad goes after it to slog it away but ends up slicing it high in the air. However, luckily for him, it lands well in front of the long off fielder. They cross.

Quicker, short and on off, Noor Ahmad stays back and steers it to point.

Dragged back, on off, Noor Ahmad punches it through covers for one.

End of an exceptional spell of bowling from Mohammad Nawaz! Looped up, full and just outside off, Allah Mohammad throws his bat at it but fails to connect. He finishes with incredible figures of 4-1-19-5.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Just the final rites being read now. Muqeem too, joins the wicket-taking bandwagon for Pakistan! He keeps it slow, full and just outside the off stump line. Noor Ahmad without much footwork, tries to go for a big-booming golfer's swing, to sail it over long off. Only manages to slice it off the toe end of the bat. The ball sails over backward point and Sufiyan's spin mate, Abrar Ahmed, takes a good running catch to his left.

Tossed up, full and on off, Fazalhaq Farooqi steers it to point.

Goes a bit short and on leg, Fazalhaq Farooqi nudges it through square leg for a single.

Much quicker, shortish and on middle and leg, Allah Mohammad tries to clip it away but ends up miscuing it to the right of the bowler.

SIX! WALLOP! Short delivery, on the bodyline, spinning in. Allah Mohammad reads the length early, gets into a good position and pulls it behind deep square leg for a six. Actually, it went quite a fair distance as well.

Darts one, full and outside off, Allah Mohammad slashes at it with force but fails to connect.

A googly, full and on off, turns in, Fazalhaq Farooqi prods forward and just about blocks it out.

Floated, full and on middle, Allah Mohammad drills it hard back towards the bowler. Sufiyan Muqeem gets down well in his followthrough to stop it.

OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Pakistan have absolutely decimated Afghanistan in the final. Muqueem bowls it flat and just outside off, a googly it seems, off the hand. The ball skids through the surface and arrives quicker than Allah Mohammad would have anticipated. Swings his bat wildly at it, to hit it over the off side, but gets a thick outside edge and the ball travels flat towards Abrar Ahmed who is stationed at short third. Abrar just crouches low and takes the catch around the chest. Sufiyan Muqeem finishes off with 2 wickets to his name. And with that, PAKISTAN WIN THE TRI-SERIES IN THE UAE BY 75 RUNS!
