Pakistan made a statement ahead of the Asia Cup as Mohammad Nawaz took a hat-trick in a 75-run win against Afghanistan in their tri-series final in Sharjah on Sunday, September 7.<\/p>\n

Nawaz claimed 5-19 in total, his best figures in T20 internationals, as Pakistan bowled Afghanistan out for 66 in 15.5 overs while defending a modest 142-run target on a challenging pitch.<\/p>\n

Afghan captain Rashid Khan took three wickets to help restrict Pakistan to 141-8, with Fakhar Zaman top-scoring with 27.<\/p>\n

Nawaz dismissed Darwish Rasooli and Azmatullah Omarzai with successive deliveries for ducks, then removed Ibrahim Zadran for nine off the first ball of his next over to complete a hat-trick.<\/p>\n

Nawaz became the third Pakistani bowler after Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Hasnain to achieve the feat in T20Is.<\/p>\n

Rashid (17) and Sediqullah Atal (13) were the only batters to reach double figures as Afghanistan recorded their second-lowest total in T20Is, behind their 56 all out against South Africa in last year\u2019s World Cup semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Pakistan, who won the toss and elected to bat, struggled against spin as well.\u00a0Nawaz scored a 21-ball 25 with two sixes while captain Salman Agha laboured to a 27-ball 24.<\/p>\n

Zaman added 49 for the second wicket with Saim Ayub (17) after opener Sahibzada Farhan fell off the third ball of the match for a duck.<\/p>\n

Rashid dismissed Zaman in his first over and then accounted for Hasan Nawaz (15) and Agha, but only after his opposite number struck him for two sixes.<\/p>\n

Afghanistan will open their Asia Cup campaign on Tuesday against Hong Kong in a Group B clash in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are the other two teams in their group. Pakistan will face arch-rivals India, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates in Group A.<\/p>\n
