Young Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah, who hit two straight sixes to help Pakistan pull off a thrilling one-wicket win over Afghanistan on Wednesday helped the national side to reach the Asia Cup title clash with Sri Lanka.

Chasing 130 for victory, Pakistan were in deep trouble at 118-9 before number 10 Naseem smashed Fazalhaq Farooqi over the fence in successive balls in the final over in Sharjah.

It was a second Super Four defeat in a row for Afghanistan, and one that also eliminated reigning champions India from the running for a place in Sunday’s final.

Meanwhile, Shadab Khan, with his prolific all-round performance, bagged the Player of the match award.

The vice-captain while taking to Twitter lauded Naseem Shah. "Javed bhai aur Shahid bhai ke chakkoon ke baad sab ko @iNaseemShah ke chakkay yaad rahein gai. Kabhi umeed na haaro. (After Javed bhai (Javed Miandad) and Shahid bhai’s (Shahid Afridi) sixes, Naseem Shah’s sixes will be remembered. Never lose hope)," he said.

While talking about overcoming the mistakes, he added, "Despite the win, we realize we made some errors and will try to work on them."

He also dedicated this win to his team and the fans, saying, "To my team and our fans, love you. This MOTM (Man of the Match) award is for you."
