Asif Khan, the hard-hitting middle-order batter for the UAE who once represented Lahore in Pakistan’s domestic cricket, reflected on his team’s passionate performance against Pakistan in Sharjah. “As a relatively inexperienced side, we lost due to small mistakes; otherwise, we could have pulled it off,” he said after his blistering 77 off just 35 balls kept the UAE in the contest.
