T20 World Cup 2026: Faheem Ashraf leads Pakistan by 3 wickets as Pakistan survive in tournament opener

There was no jubilant celebration when Faheem Ashraf silenced the Pakistan dugout with three balls to spare in the final over. But will stand back up the way they stood up. That Pakistan appeared to do the unthinkable, which if they had missed, would have pushed them to the brink.

Was doing as Pakistan was chasing the regular target of 148 runs brilliantly. Seemed like a foregone conclusion, as they often do.

It had climbed to 4.50 when Ashraf took the game into his own hands with a bit of luck. It spun and Ashraf forced it by picking his spots on the leg-side which included a six of 89 metres. Packs around fast to make Radan. While Kistan looked far from chasing the target in the months leading up to the T20 World Cup, under head coach Mike Hesson and Agha, they were quietly laying a foundation. There was Shita which suited these circumstances. Not revealing their secret at the start of the tournament, Pakistan dropped their new spin sensation, Usman Tariq, and replaced him with leg spinner Shadab Khan, but still managed to bat in their four overs. There was a profitable return. Was. Remained. Neither took two wickets in the space of two balls, helping Pakistan take complete control of the game, before their batsmen threatened to undo everything.

Was quick. The owl also moved his fingers at the ball to slow it down and Abhishek tucked it down the leg side and stole a run. 14 wickets were lost due to fast bowling (below 128 kmph), the most by any team.
