Pakistan was reduced to 118 for nine by Afghanistan in the last over, which put them comfortably in control of the game. Naseem, however, had other ideas, hitting Fazalhaq Farooqi for two straight sixes to eliminate Afghanistan and India from contention for a final spot.

Both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have guaranteed their spots in the tournament’s final, which will be played on Sunday, with two victories in as many games.
