Following Pakistan’s stunning victory against New Zealand in the must-win third T20 match, skipper Salman Ali Agha took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his pride and gratitude.
“My boys aren’t just here to make up the numbers,” Salman Ali Agha tweeted. “This is an inexperienced team but it’s a winners team if you back them. It’s your team if you give them the support they need. Alhamdulillah for the win, much needed in keeping the series alive. Very very well played Hasan and Haris.”

The match was a crucial turning point for Pakistan, who had faced back-to-back defeats in the series. The pressure was on, but the young openers, Mohammad Haris and Hasan Nawaz, rose to the occasion with fearless batting that left spectators in awe.
Hasan Nawaz in particular stole the show. The 22-year-old scored a record-breaking unbeaten century, finishing with an impressive 105 runs off just 45 balls. His innings included 10 fours and 7 sixes, showcasing a blend of power and precision that was instrumental in guiding Pakistan to victory in just 16 overs.
Agha’s praise for the young duo reflects a growing confidence in the team’s potential. Despite their inexperience, the players demonstrated remarkable composure and skill under pressure, proving that they are capable of competing at the highest level.
With the series now poised for an exciting continuation, all eyes will be on Pakistan as they aim to build on this momentum and secure further victories against New Zealand.
