LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has revealed the schedule for the home T20I tri-series, involving Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

The series has been organised to provide all teams with valuable preparation ahead of next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, to be staged in India and Sri Lanka.

The tri-series will begin on 17 November with Pakistan taking on Afghanistan at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

This will be Afghanistan’s first-ever T20I in Pakistan, having earlier played five ODIs in the country, the last of which was against Australia during ICC Champions Trophy in February this year.

On 19 November, Sri Lanka will face Afghanistan at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, while the remaining five T20Is of the tri-series, including the final on 29 November will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

PCB Chief Operating Officer Sumair Ahmed Syed:

“We look forward to hosting Sri Lanka and Afghanistan for Pakistan’s maiden T20I tri-series. This event will not only offer excellent preparation for next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, but also present fans with exciting cricket across venues.

SHARJAH: Afghanistan stand-in captain Ibrahim Zadran has expressed his confidence ahead of the UAE T20 tri-series final against Pakistan, set to be played on September 7 at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Afghanistan edged UAE by four runs in a last-ball thriller on Friday in the last league fixture of the T20I tri-series.

The game eventually went down to the wire with the UAE requiring 17 off the final over. However, Fareed Ahmad held his nerve under pressure and sealed a win for Afghanistan.

Fareed went for a four and six off the first two balls and a double on the third to leave the equation with UAE  requiring five off three balls. Yet, Fareed came back with two excellent yorkers and eventually got rid of Asif Khan on the last ball.

In batting, Ibrahim Zadran starred with 48 off 35 balls, earning him the player of the match award.

Speaking during the post-match presentation, Ibrahim, who was captaining in place of regular skipper Rashid Khan, highlighted the playing XI and hailed the bowlers for securing a narrow win.

“It was a good win to finish the group stage. We wanted to give a chance to the guys who didn’t get one in the previous game. UAE were playing well and looked like they might win, but credit to our bowlers for [pulling it back],” he said.

He emphasized conditions and expressed confidence ahead of their final showdown against Pakistan on Sunday.

“When you look at the conditions, you have to take responsibility and back your skills. I just go out there, enjoy myself, and give my 100 percent. Thankfully, I got the result today.

“It’s been a good series. Now we’re set to play Pakistan. We’ll prepare for the Asia Cup and go in with high energy and intensity,” he concluded.

SHARJAH: Asif Khan’s 40 off 28 went in vain as Fareed Ahmad held his nerve in the last over to seal a four-run victory for Afghanistan over UAE in the T20I tri-series here at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Set 171, UAE fell short of the target, scoring 166-5 in their 20 overs.

UAE started briskly in the chase with openers putting on a 65-run stand in seven overs. Muhammad Waseem, who made 44 off 29, remained the core aggressor while Alishan Sharafu played the second fiddle.

Noor Ahmed provided Afghanistan the much-needed breakthrough as the stand culminated with Sharafu’s wicket, who departed after making 27 off 23 balls.

UAE continued to bat steadily until Waseem’s wicket in the 10th over, which opened the door for Afghanistan. After his wicket, the visitors continued to strike at regular intervals.

With UAE 113-4 in 14.3 overs, Asif Khan paired up with Harshit Kaushik to give their team a glimmer of hope. The duo added 53 runs for the sixth wicket, eventually UAE requiring 17 off the last over.

However, Fareed Ahmad, who bowled the last over, held his nerve under pressure after going for a four and six off the first two balls. Asif sliced the third ball off over to leave the equation five required from three deliveries.

Fareed came back with two great yorkers and eventually got rid of Asif Khan on the last ball to seal a thrilling win for his team.

Asif Khan hit two maximums and four boundaries on his way to 40 from 28 balls.

For Afghanistan, it was an all-round bowling effort with Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, and Abdollah Ahmadzai picking up one wicket each. However, Sharafuddin Ashraf stood out, conceding just 20 runs in four overs and picking up a wicket.

Earlier, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran’s strong opening partnership propelled Afghanistan to a strong total.

Opting to bat first, Afghanistan amassed 170-4 in their allocated 20 overs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran paired up to put on a 98-run stand in 11 overs. Both batters batted cautiously, particularly the former, picking up some form after having a lean run in the opening three matches.

However, UAE made a comeback with wickets on successive balls to send back both the openers. Gurbaz was the first to go after making 40 off 38 balls with the help of three fours and a six.

Ibrahim Zadran was castled by Haider Ali on the first ball of the 12th over, to halt Afghanistan’s progress.

The stand-in captain continued his good form with 48 off 35 balls, an innings which featured three sixes and fours.

Despite, UAE taking wickets at regular intervals in the latter half of the innings, Afghanistan managed to post a strong score.

For UAE, Haider Ali remained the pick of the bowlers, taking two wickets in his four overs and only giving away 22 runs.

SHARJAH: Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha shared his thoughts after his side’s defeat against Afghanistan in the fourth fixture of the tri-series clash here at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

In pursuit of a 170-run target, Pakistan could only muster 151-9 in their allocated 20 overs.

Afghanistan’s spinners put pressure on Pakistan during the middle overs. This was evident when Haris Rauf hit a six off Rashid’s over, marking their first boundary since the third ball of the eighth over, aside from four byes in the 11th over.

Pakistan stumbled in the chase, with Haris Rauf top-scoring with an unbeaten 34* off 16 balls laced with four towering sixes.

For Afghanistan, Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up two wickets, whereas Noor Ahmad, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi picked up two scalps each to seal a thrilling win.

Following the match, Salman shed light on the team’s performance, rueing the middle-overs where they lost too many wickets.

“I think 170 was gettable. Thought the bowlers did a good job. We lost too many wickets in the middle overs. After eight overs, we were going well, but we lost many wickets,” he said.

He also lauded Afghanistan spinners, calling them a threat once they got their mark.

“When you lose that many wickets, it becomes very difficult. They (the Afghanistan spinners) are quality spinners. If you give any sniff to them, they are good enough to grab it. If we did not lose that many wickets in the middle overs, it could have been a different story,” he concluded.

SHARJAH: Clinical bowling performance helped Afghanistan beat Pakistan by 18 runs in the fourth match of the tri-series here at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

In pursuit of a 170-run target, Pakistan could only muster 151-9 in their allocated 20 overs.

Pakistan started poorly as Saim Ayub departed for a golden duck in only the second over. Sahibzada Farhan, on the other end, tried to put pressure back on Afghanistan, striking two sixes in AM Ghazanfar’s overs.

However, his innings of 18 from 13 was cut short in the fourth over. As a result, Pakistan were reduced to 29-2.

Fakhar Zaman and captain Sahibzada Farhan paired up for a brief stand of 33 runs to steady Pakistan in the chase.

With Pakistan looking to accelerate, Mohammad Nabi struck for Afghanistan, providing the breakthrough that eventually led to the culmination of the partnership.

The wicket sparked a collapse that Pakistan could never recover from. Consequently, Pakistan fell short of Afghanistan’s target despite Haris Rauf’s lusty blows.

Haris Rauf remained the top scorer for Pakistan with 34* off 16 balls laced with four towering sixes.

For Afghanistan, Fazalhaq Farooqi picked up two wickets, whereas Noor Ahmad, Rashid Khan, and Mohammad Nabi picked up two scalps each to seal a thrilling win.

Earlier, Faheem Ashraf’s four-wicket haul helped Pakistan restrict Afghanistan to 169-5.

Opting to bat first, Afghanistan managed to score 169 for 5 in their 20 overs.

Afghanistan lost their opener, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, early after scoring eight off 10 deliveries.

However, Sediqullah Atal and Ibrahim Zadran paired up for a mammoth stand of 113 runs, laying a strong foundation for a big total.

The duo started from where they left off against the UAE, batting with a sensible approach. Both batters kept Pakistan bowlers at bay in the middle overs as Afghanistan’s scorecard read 83-1 at the halfway stage of the innings.

Pakistan did manage to sneak some quite overs, not until the 15th over, where Zadran and Atal took Sufiyan Muqeem to the cleaners. The over leaked 20 runs with Afghanistan threatening to score a massive total.

Yet, Pakistan roared back into the last few overs with quick wickets, which halted Afghanistan’s progress.

Sediqullah Atal made 64 from 45, striking three sixes and three fours, whereas Ibrahim Zadran made 65 from 45 balls, including a six and eight boundaries.

For Pakistan, Faheem Ashraf remained the standout bowler, picking up four wickets. Saim Ayub remained economical with a wicket in his four spell while giving away only 18 runs.
