Pakistan posted a competitive total of 171 runs after choosing to bat first against the United Arab Emirates in their second match of the T20 tri-series in Sharjah. Fakhar Zaman led the charge with a powerful 77 runs off just 44 deliveries, providing the backbone of the innings.
Captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and elected to set a target, a decision that paid off as Pakistan built a solid foundation. The tri-series, which also includes Afghanistan, serves as crucial preparation ahead of the upcoming Asia Cup. Each team will face the others twice, with the top two advancing to the final scheduled for September 7.
Pakistan began the series with a win over Afghanistan but suffered a setback in their most recent encounter. They previously defeated the UAE by 31 runs on Saturday, demonstrating their ability to perform under pressure in the tournament.
