PAK vs UAE Asia Cup 2025: Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Afridi's Heroics Guide Pakistan To 146/9 Against UAE

PAK vs UAE Asia Cup 2025: Junaid Siddique (4/18) and Simranjeet Singh (3/26) took seven wickets amongst them, but Shaheen Afridi's gritty knock of 29 runs off 14 balls and Fakhar Zaman's brilliant fifty helped Pakistan score 146/9 during their Asia Cup match on Wednesday. While batting first in a match, which started one hour late owing to the Men in Green reaching the venue late, the host bowlers looked at their absolute best, even though Fakhar Zaman scored a brilliant fifty off 36 balls.

Zaman's fifty, along with Afridi's late cameo, which also includes a 20-run last over, helped the Salman Ali Agha-led side post a respectable target in this match, which is quite important for both teams for qualifying for the Super 4 stage.

Brief scores: Pakistan 146/8 in 20 overs (Fakhar Zaman 50, Shaheen Afridi 29 not out; Junaid Siddique 4/18, Simranjeet Singh 3/26) vs UAE
