The Pakistan cricket team once again proved its dominance over Afghanistan by clinching the UAE Tri-Series Final at Sharjah on a memorable night of cricket. In a contest that was billed as fiery and unpredictable, Pakistan walked away as the undisputed champions, leaving Afghanistan staring at the same old truth—they remain second best whenever they face their arch-rivals.

Pakistan’s Heroes: Salman Agha & Mohammad Nawaz

The spotlight of the final shone brightly on Salman Agha and Mohammad Nawaz, who rose to the occasion with fearless batting and steady partnerships that anchored Pakistan’s innings. Salman Agha’s stylish stroke play provided stability when it was most needed, while Nawaz’s explosive hitting shifted momentum firmly in Pakistan’s favor. Together, they silenced Afghan hopes of an upset under the Sharjah lights.

With the bat doing the talking once more, Pakistan’s finishing touch echoed memories of iconic moments in Sharjah—whether it was Asif Ali’s six-hitting spree or Naseem Shah’s last-over miracle. Tonight, it was the calmness of Salman Agha and the aggression of Nawaz that sealed the final blow.

The Slapping Reality for Afghanistan

From the first ball to the last, Pakistan’s dominance never wavered. Afghanistan fought hard but lacked the firepower to break past Pakistan’s batting brilliance and disciplined bowling. The final result was yet another reminder that while Afghanistan may dream big, Pakistan continues to be the reality check.
