PAK VS UAE Pakistan kicked off their tri-series campaign in style, defeating Afghanistan in the tournament opener, with Salman Ali Agha and Haris Rauf emerging as the standout performers.
After a shaky start with the bat, Salman took control of Pakistan’s innings, playing a mature hand under pressure. His stroke play and partnerships through the middle overs guided the team to a defendable total.
In response, Afghanistan struggled to cope with Pakistan’s pace attack. Haris Rauf led the charge, striking at regular intervals and keeping the opposition batters under constant pressure. His fiery spell ensured Afghanistan never truly threatened to chase down the target.
The victory reinforces Pakistan’s depth and balance, highlighting both batting resilience and bowling firepower. For Afghanistan, the defeat underlines the need for stronger middle-order resistance and better execution against quality pace bowling.
