Pak vs afg: Just before the Asia Cup 2025, the all -rounder of Pakistan cricket team Mohammad Nawaz did so amazing in T20 cricket, which will be remembered for a long time. In the final of the T20 TRAI-Nation series played in Sharjah, Nawaz took a total of 5 wickets including a hat-trick in bowling and gave Pakistan a big win of 75 runs. With this performance, Pakistan not only gave the trophy to its name, but also a strong message for the upcoming Asia Cup.
How to become hat -trick
In the final match, Nawaz came to bowl in the sixth over. He gave just 1 run in the first 4 balls of his over and then dismissed two consecutive batsmen off the last two balls. On the fifth ball of the over, he dismissed Darwish Rasuli and hunted Ajmatullah Omarjai on the next ball. Due to which he reached close to hat -trick.
Then when he came back to bowl in the 8th over, he also took the wicket of Ibrahim Jadaran on the first ball. With his brilliant bowling, Nawaz made history by completing a hat -trick.
Pakistan became the third bowler
With this hat -trick, Nawaz has become the third bowler to take a hat -trick in T20 International for Pakistan. Prior to him, Faheem Ashraf (2017) and Mohammad Hasnain (2019) did this feat. Interestingly, both of them took a hat -trick against Sri Lanka.
Work for taking 5 wickets for the first time
The magic of Nawaz’s bowling did not stop here. He took the fourth wicket in the next few balls and then completed his 5 wickets by dismissing Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan in his last over. He took 5 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs throughout his spell. This was the first five wicket hall (5 wickets) of his T20 International career.
Amazing batting in a difficult situation
Pakistan, batting first, scored a score of 142 runs. The team started very bad and half the team had returned to the pavilion by 72 runs. At such a time, Nawaz also took responsibility with the bat. He shared an important partnership with captain Salman Aga and brought the team to a respectable score. Nawaz, who contributed 25 runs in batting, showed why he is called the real all -rounder.
Afghanistan’s embarrassing defeat
Chasing a target of 142 runs, the entire Afghanistan team was reduced to just 66 runs in 15.5 overs in front of Nawaz’s spin and Pakistan’s exact bowling. Apart from Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Mukim also contributed significantly to the victory with 2-2 wickets.
Big message before Asia Cup
The series was played between Pakistan, Afghanistan and UAE under the UAE hosting. Nawaz’s all -round performance in the final has proved to be a big bonus for Pakistan. His hat -trick and 5 wickets made it clear that Pakistan is in full preparation before the Asia Cup 2025 and may prove to be a threat to the opposing teams.
