In a match that seemed all but lost, Pakistan found a saviour in Fahim Ashraf. Chasing a seemingly modest target, Pakistan had reached 61 in six overs and 90 in ten, yet the momentum appeared to be slipping away from the 2009 champions. What had started as a controlled chase threatened to unravel, leaving fans anxious.

However, Fahim Ashraf’s brilliance turned the tide. In a spectacular cameo, he scored 29 runs off just 11 balls, guiding Pakistan to a nerve-racking three-wicket victory. His explosive finish not only steadied the innings but also injected the much-needed urgency at a crucial juncture, ensuring that Pakistan avoided what could have been a disappointing collapse.

The match illustrated the unpredictable nature of cricket, where a seemingly straightforward chase can turn into a battle of nerves. Fahim’s performance under pressure highlighted his ability to deliver when it matters most, reinforcing his reputation as a game-changer for Pakistan.
