It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan edged Afghanistan by one wicket in the all-important Asia Cup Super Four clash courtesy of the two astounding sixes from tailender Naseem. His heroics guided the men in green to the Asia Cup final which Pakistan, however, lost to then-winner Sri Lanka by 27 runs.
