Afghanistan v Pakistan: Live updates from Dubai
Pakistan win!
Four sixes in six balls. He really made an impact at the end – at one point, 24 off 12 looked like an equation that Pakistan might just fall short of, but Asif cleaned up the chase with one over to spare, bringing the Pakistan fans to their feet. Top, top effort.
Spare a thought for Naib, Nabi and Rashid, who did so well with bat and ball, but the score just proved to be not enough for Afghanistan, who now have a win and a loss from two games.
Asif Ali brings Pakistan back with a meaty blow, going back and smashing a six over extra cover. Janat under pressure now. He follows it with another hefty blow over mid-wicket, and suddenly Pakistan are the favourites.
Chants of Asif, Asif doing the rounds. He’s brought them back into the game, and in some style.
24 needed off 12.
Over 17.5: Pakistan 124-5, Babar, Malik depart, and the game is alive!
The atmosphere is electric right now, with Rashid having brought Afghanistan back into the game. Naveen follows it up with a brilliant over, and snares Malik, further complicating it for Pakistan.
Really, this game is alive. Pakistan are crumbling!
