Pakistan on Sunday set a target of 131 runs for Afghanistan in the second T20 international of the three-match series in Sharjah.
Pakistan opted to bat first and scored 130-6 in 20 overs. Imad Wasim scored his maiden T20I 50 and remained unbeaten on 64 runs off 57 balls with the help of three fours and two sixes.
Captain Shadab Khan also chipped in with a crucial contribution of 32 runs on 25 balls.
Imad and Shadab added 66 runs in 54 balls for the sixth wicket partnership to help Pakistan post a competitive total on the board.
This is a must-win game for Pakistan as they are 1-0 down in the three-match series.
There is only one change in the Shadab Khan-led unit as all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz has replaced Faheem Ashraf in the lineup.
Ashraf only scored two runs in eight balls during the first T20I and didn’t bowl during Afghanistan’s run-chase.
More to come….
