Asif Ali hit four sixes in the penultimate over as Pakistan completed a hat-trick of victories in the T20 World Cup with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan in a Super 12 Group 2 match in Dubai on Friday.

Just after Pakistan registered their third straight win, star all-rounder Ben Stokes predicted an England vs Pakistan final in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup to be played on November 14.

“England vs Pakistan Final ???,” wrote Stokes on Twitter.

Pakistan had earlier defeated arch-rivals India by 10 wickets in Dubai on October 24 and followed it up with a five-wicket win against New Zealand. The three wins have virtually put Pakistan in the semifinals of the tournament.

England, on the other hand, had registered with wins over West Indies and Bangladesh. They hardly broke a sweat in those games but Australia are likely to pose a much tougher challenge.

Skipper Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib’s unbeaten knocks in a splendid rearguard action had steered Afghanistan to a competitive 147 for six after they were gasping at 76 for six.

Pakistan overhauled the target in 19 overs, a victory which consolidated their top spot in the points table and enhanced their semifinal chances with minnows Scotland and Namibia up next for them. His side needing 24 runs from the last two overs, Asif Ali (25 off 7 balls) finished the job in 19th over, hitting four sixes off Karim Jannat.

Ben Stokes also praised the hard-hitting Pakistani batter Asif Ali and wrote: “Remember the name @AasifAli2018.”

Ben Stokes, who was on the receiving end when Carlos Braithwaite smashed him for four sixes in the 2016 T20 World Cup. Former West Indies pacer, Ian Bishop, who was doing commentary in the last over, had said ‘Carlos Braithwaite, remember the name,’ on air about the West Indies all-rounder.
