Mohammad Nawaz delivered a memorable performance in the T20I series decider as Pakistan defeated Afghanistan to secure the trophy. The left-arm spinner became the first Pakistani to claim a hat-trick against Afghanistan in T20 internationals, etching his name in the history books.
The crucial moment came in the middle overs when Nawaz dismissed three Afghan batters in consecutive deliveries, breaking the backbone of the chase. His precision and variation left Afghanistan reeling, eventually paving the way for Pakistan’s victory.
Earlier, Pakistan posted a competitive total on the board, powered by contributions from the top and middle order. Despite a spirited start from Afghanistan, Nawaz’s spell turned the game firmly in Pakistan’s favor. His hat-trick not only tilted the balance but also showcased his ability to deliver under pressure.
The series win adds momentum to Pakistan’s preparations ahead of major tournaments. Skipper Babar Azam praised Nawaz’s match-winning effort, calling it a “defining moment” that inspired the team to finish strongly.
For Afghanistan, the loss was a setback after showing resilience earlier in the series. Their middle-order collapse highlighted the need for stability under pressure, an area the coaching staff is expected to address moving forward.
Nawaz’s achievement has been widely celebrated by fans and cricketing experts. A hat-trick in a series final is a rare feat, and his performance is being hailed as one of the finest bowling displays in Pakistan’s recent T20I history.
With this win, Pakistan reaffirmed their strength in the shortest format, while Nawaz’s historic spell will remain a career-defining highlight.
