On Friday, Afghanistan defeated Pakistan in a Twenty20 match for the first time after Pakistan was held to 92-9.

At the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Pakistan struggled against the Afghans as their six bowlers split all nine wickets while playing without five rested frontline players, including skipper Babar Azam.

Afghanistan survived a 10-over slump that saw them at 45-4 to win by six wickets with more than two overs remaining at 98-4.

With a straight six over long off, Mohammad Nabi raised Afghanistan’s first victory over Pakistan in five tries over the past ten years.

Rashid Khan, the captain of Afghanistan, remarked, “Delight to win, as we’ve usually lost against them by narrow margins.” “It is an honour to represent Afghanistan while leading the team to victory. We never know the wicket, but the mentality was to alter as necessary.

In the final two T20 matches on Sunday and Monday, Afghanistan has a chance to win its first series.

On a two-paced pitch, none of the Pakistani batters could get up speed, and the majority were easily eliminated.

Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris, who were supposed to open the batting in place of the dangerous Babar and Mohammad Rizwan, were unable to predict the low bounce and fell while attempting risky strokes.

Azmatullah Omarzai pinged Abdullah Shafique for a score of zero, and Tayyab Tahir, one of four players making their debut for Pakistan, threw a return catch to Rashid Khan.

Pakistan was 41-5 in the eighth over when debutant Azam Khan was also dismissed for a duck.

Imad Wasim led the way with 18 points as Pakistan narrowly avoided its lowest T20 total of 74 against Australia in Dubai in 2012.

Interim captain Shadab Khan remarked, “This can sometimes happen owing to young players being anxious, but they need to be given chances. “As professionals, we can’t make excuses for the circumstances; we need to draw lessons from this setback.”

Mujeeb Ur Rahman, an unconventional spinner, scored 2-9, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, 2-13.

Ihsanullah, a Pakistani fast bowler making his debut, bowled two short-pitched deliveries that resulted in two wickets.

Afghanistan soon found themselves four down, but Nabi, who is still in the game, and Najibullah Zadran, who is still in the game, helped them win.

Ihsanullah had a final score of 2-17.
