After a disappointing defeat against Afghanistan, Pakistan will look to bounce back when they face the UAE in the fifth T20I match of the UAE Tri-Series. Pakistan After winning two back-to-back matches in the tournament, Pakistan tasted their first defeat against Afghanistan in their third match. While batting first, Afghanistan posted 169 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, but Pakistan failed to chase down the target as they were 18 runs short and only able to score 151 for 9 in their full overs. No batter stood up for the team, but tailender Haris Rauf scored 34 runs off just 16 deliveries, including 4 sixes. They are still at the top of the leaderboard with 4 points; a win here will seal the final spot for them. UAE UAE, meanwhile, despite being the host, were unable to capitalise on the opportunities given. They first lost their match to Pakistan by 31 runs and then to Afghanistan by 38 runs. The hosts are almost out of the tournament, and they still have zero points from their two matches. Only Muhammed Waseem has been in top form this tournament. However, they will look to register a win here against Pakistan to keep themselves alive in the tournament.
