Afghanistan inched a step closer to sealing a spot in the final of the T20 tri-series after beating Pakistan in their third game by 18 runs. The foundation of the win was laid by Ibrahim Zadran and Sediqullah Atal’s 113-run partnership before the spinners strung a web around the Pakistan batters.
Sharjah:
Afghanistan moved to the top of the table in the ongoing UAE tri-series after getting past Pakistan without much discomfort in the return fixture against the same opposition by 18 runs on Tuesday, September 2, in Sharjah. Afghanistan stuck to their modus operandi of batting first, putting a decent total on the board and then bombard the opposition batters with spin and more spin to choke them in the second innings for two days in a row, to inch one step closer to sealing a spot in the final of the tri-series.
