Asia Cup: Shaheen, Fakhar Lift Pakistan To Victory Over UAE, Join India In Super 4s
United Arab Emirates: After all the off-field drama and an hour’s delay in getting on the park, Pakistan finally found their way into the Super Four stage from Group A of the Asia Cup 2025, defeating hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 41 runs at the Dubai International Stadium here on Wednesday.
It was a result that looked far from straightforward for large parts of the contest, but performances from Fakhar Zaman with the bat and Shaheen Shah Afridi in both innings tilted the game in Pakistan’s favour.
Asked to bat first, Pakistan endured another shaky start. Saim Ayub, desperate to avoid a hat-trick of golden ducks, fell for a silver duck — dismissed on his second ball. Abdullah Shafique followed soon after, as Junaid Siddique breathed fire with the new ball to reduce the Men in Green to a precarious position inside three overs.
