Sharjah: Left-hand batsman Imad Wasim stayed on the crease to help Pakistan set a reasonable target of 130 runs in the 2nd T20I match against Afghanistan at Sharjah ground on Sunday night.
Imad scored 64 off 57 and overcame the pressure the team was undergoing after losing five wickets in the clash.

The Afghanistan bowlers gave real tough time in the beginning as they restricted the batters from scoring.
The partnership between Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim paved the way for Pakistan to come out of the pressure. Shadab contributed 32 runs off 25 balls. The fall of Saim Ayub, Muhammad Haris and Abdullah Shafique put Pakistan under pressure.
