Afghanistan vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I Highlights: Led by a spirited bowling display, Afghanistan stunned Pakistan once again in the second T20I by seven wickets in Sharjah and clinched a first series win over their opponents. Chasing a below-par total of 131, Afghanistan crossed the finishing with seven wickets and one ball to spare. Earlier, top knocks from Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan guided Pakistan to 130 for 6 in 20 overs. Opting to bat, Pakistan faced an early blow after Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed Saim Ayub for a duck on the second ball of the innings. He then trapped Abdullah Shafique LBW on the very next delivery to take Afghanistan to a dream start. Pakistan kept on losing wickets at regular intervals but imad Wasim’s 64 not out off 57 and Shadab’s 32 off 25 took them to respectable total. (SCORECARD)
