holes out to long off, and that is all over Red Rover! This is fired in quicker on a length outside off. Shakeel skips down, trying to repeat the dose from earlier in the over but cannot quite get under it. Hits it well but flat and straight to Shaheen, who takes it reverse-cupped in front of his face. Pakistan do what Afghanistan, Bangladesh and India did across the first three days of this Asia Cup, and they are also on the board!
Pakistan vs Oman, 4th Match, Group A at Dubai, Asia Cup, Sep 12 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
9:55pm Well, it was a slow burn towards the end but the result never seemed in doubt, especially once Pakistan began tightening the screw. Ayub was excellent during the powerplay, with the rest of the spinners coming to the party once the field restrictions were lifted. Faheem and Shaheen also helped themselves to a few scalps, and this win will give Pakistan confidence heading into their upcoming assignments.
