Sharjah- Left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz claimed a hat trick and inspired Pakistan to a 75-run win in the final of the Twenty20 tri-series as Afghanistan crashed to its second lowest-ever T20 score of 66.

Afghanistan's spinners, led by Rashid Khan's 3-38, had earlier limited Pakistan to 141-8 which was the lowest total by teams batting first in the tournament that also featured United Arab Emirates.

“It was the kind of wicket where even 130-140 was always going to be challenging and once we got there, we knew it would be tough for them,” Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha said.

“Since Nawaz's comeback, he's been outstanding, performing brilliantly in all departments. For me, he's the guy I can rely on in tough situations.”
