SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates: Pakistan’s young batting sensation Hasan Nawaz has boldly declared the current national T20 squad as the “best team Pakistan has ever had,” following their dominant 31-run victory over the UAE in the ongoing tri-nation series.
The young power-hitter, who smashed a blazing 56 off just 26 balls, showcased his explosive batting as Pakistan posted a formidable 207-run target. The win, coming after a strong performance against Afghanistan, has fueled optimism ahead of the Asia Cup.
Hasan, brimming with confidence, credited the team’s aggressive approach and depth in talent under new white-ball coach Mike Hesson. “I honestly feel this is Pakistan’s best T20 team,” he said after the match. “Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan gave us the perfect start. I just wanted to keep the momentum going and push for a bigger total. Everyone in this squad is hungry to perform, and that’s what makes this team special.”
Notably, Pakistan made tactical changes in the bowling attack, resting senior pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf while giving opportunities to Hasan Ali and Salman Mirza, a move that didn’t shake the team’s dominance on the field.
The tri-nation series has been a testing ground for Pakistan’s young guns, and so far, the results have been promising. Fans and analysts alike are now wondering whether this aggressive and fearless brand of cricket can finally take Pakistan to the next level in global T20 competitions.
With the Asia Cup around the corner, all eyes are on whether this youthful, confident side can translate their momentum into consistent success on bigger stages.
