Winning A Final Under Pressure Before Going To Asia Cup Was Very Important, Says Hesson
T20I Tri: After Pakistan beat Afghanistan by 75 runs to win the T20I Tri-series, head coach Mike Hesson said he was pleased to see the side win a final under pressure before heading to participate in the Asia Cup, starting on Tuesday in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In Sunday’s final at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz took five wickets, including a hat-trick, as Pakistan defended 141/8 by bowling out Afghanistan for 66 in 15.2 overs.
Nawaz was named player of the tournament in the Tri-series for amassing 120 runs and picking 10 wickets. He is the only member of the current squad to have featured in both the 2016 and 2022 T20I editions of the Men’s Asia Cup.
“I am pleased with the way the team is progressing. We have beaten Afghanistan in conditions that suit their spin attack, which was a real confidence builder. Winning a final under pressure before heading into the Asia Cup was also very important for us,” said Hesson to PCB Digital on Monday.
