Pakistan Flawlessly Bags The T20 Tri-Series Trophy
Did the Pakistan team officially break the curse of losing the finals or semi-finals? The team was able to win a flawless victory against New Zealand in the last match after competing tirelessly against both New Zealand and Bangladesh during the series.
And the match was truly SOMETHING!
Pakistan finally avenged their loss to New Zealand in last year’s World Cup runners-up. New Zealand played well against our team with their skipper, Kane Williamson, scoring a whopping 59 runs and Glenn Philips bagging 29. However, our bowlers are no less. They only conceded 33 runs in the last five overs, successfully decreasing NZ’s run rate.
Talking about bowlers, Haris Rauf’s bowling speed has been INSANE! And if it wasn’t clear earlier, this match slammed all the doubters in the world. Rauf’s intense bowling was able to break Phillips’ bat. And apparently, that was his favorite bat. Whoops! 😳

Insanity!
The biggest concern for Pakistan’s cricket team during the last few matches was their middle order of batting. However, this match just proved them otherwise. Middle order broke their streak, and trolling, by playing like they never did before. Haider Ali scored 31 runs and Mohammad Nawaz finished his batting with 38 runs. However, can we talk about our finisher Iftikhar Ahmed. With a flawless sixer boundary Iftikhar slayed the entire game. Only 2 runs were needed off 4 balls but Iftikhar gave a beautiful cinematic shot, increasing the competition for Maula Jatt.
Perfect finish 🤩
