AFP, Dubai :
Mohammad Nawaz wants to be a “proper all- rounder” after his batting blitz set up a thrilling win for Pakistan against arch-rivals India in the Asia Cup Super Four.
Chasing 182 for victory, Pakistan achieved the target with one ball and five wickets to spare in Dubai after Mohammad Rizwan hit 71 and Nawaz made 42.
Nawaz, a left-arm spinner who usually bats at eight but was promoted to number four, joined Rizwan when the score was 63-2 and the two put on a key stand.
The 28-year-old Nawaz smashed six fours and two sixes in his 20-ball knock to put the chase on track.
Nawaz, who returned bowling figures of 1-25 in India’s 181-7, also took three catches and was named man of the match.
