No. 10 batter Naseem Shah (10 not out) edged seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi for a winning boundary off the penultimate ball as Pakan reached 302-9 and got a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s epic 151 and a meaningful 80 his opening partner Ibrahim Zadran had earlier provided Afghanan a formidable total of 300-5.
“All credit to the boys,” Pakan captain Babar Azam said. “We just tried to build the partnership when me and Imam were playing, just wanted to play long and see where we stand after 40 overs. We knew we could chase 80 or 90 in the last 10 overs.”
