In the final of that series, left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz produced a stunning performance, claiming a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul to secure a 75-run win against Afghanistan.

Captain Salman Agha believes Pakistan’s aggressive style of play and reliance on spin — a strategy well-suited to UAE conditions — give them confidence heading into the competition.

In a significant selection call, Pakistan have opted to rest senior stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, turning instead to their younger core of Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Nawaz, and Agha to deliver on the big stage.
