Afghanistan vs Pakistan, 2nd T20I, Afghanistan v Pakistan in UAE ...

So that's it from this historic night at Sharjah as Afghanistan beat Pakistan to clinch the series. Thanks for joining in. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Mukesh. Until next time, it's goodbye!

Rashid, Afghanistan captain: Great honour and pleasure to lead this wonderful team. Great effort with the ball, and then we took it deep and finished it off. This wicket is always a 150-160 wicket. But Pakistan-Afghanistan game is pressure game and that makes it 125-130. 130 was a good total, but we tried our best to take it deep and finish it. Strategy was to go there and make sure you take responsibility. Take it deep and try to finish it. We have players to finish it like Nabi and Najib. Main thing was to have wickets in hand.

Shadab, Pakistan captain: It was a good score. We were struggling again. If you look at stats, if you lose 3 wickets in powerplay, you lose 70 percent of the games. I think there's nervousness - they're playing for the first time for Pakistan (the new batters). We have to back them. Sometimes you don't perform but attitude matters. That's more important for me. They have talent. They will be great cricketers. Will play for pride tomorrow.

Farooqi, Player of the Match: Would like to congratulate everyone back home. Special moment for us. I tried to use the new ball. If it's swinging, I look to attack and take wickets. Pakistan is a very strong team. It's always a proud moment to win a match and win a series.

23:31 Local Time, 19:31 GMT, 01:01 IST: Zaman is crestfallen after bowling a brilliant over. He rolls onto the turf in despair. And on the other hand there's Najibullah who looks to the heavens and roars in delight. Two days ago Afghanistan beat Pakistan for the first time ever in any format, and now they've taken the series with a game to spare. It didn't come easy though. The chase was a struggle on another sluggish pitch in Sharjah. There was a partnership of 56 for the second wicket between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran but it came off 69 balls, and the required rate climbed right up. To make things worse, both of them departed when things got tight. But Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran, who've done it so many times over the years, did it once again. The game turned decisively in Afghanistan's favour as Naseem went for 17 in the penultimate over, leaving just 5 to get in the final one. And as well as Zaman bowled, he couldn't deny Afghanistan their piece of history.

19.5Zaman Khan to Najibullah, FOUR, it flies off the edge towards third man, the fielder charges in but he can't get there! He can't stop the boundary either and it's all over! Afghanistan clinch the series 2-0 with a game to spare! Incredible scenes at Sharjah! Full ball outside off, Najibullah swings hard, gets a thick edge and the fielder decides to go for the catch rather than hanging back. And he doesn't get to it!

19.4 Zaman Khan to Nabi, 1 run, this is brilliant from Zaman! Cracking yorker on off, and Nabi can only squeeze it to mid-off

19.3 Zaman Khan to Najibullah, byes, 1 run, Najibullah is beaten! But Azam Khan fumbles and they go through for a bye! Oh dear! A brilliant slower short ball, outfoxes Najibullah who's through the pull early but Azam isn't on top of his game with the gloves

19.2 Zaman Khan to Nabi, 1 run, banged in short, Nabi gets on top of it and pulls to deep square leg. 4 needed off 4!

19.1 Zaman Khan to Nabi, no run, is there more drama in store? A dot to start from Zaman! Slower one floated up on middle, Nabi looks to flick but he's deceived by the lack of pace. It rolls off the leading edge to cover

Zaman Khan [3.0-0-16-1] is back into the attack

AFG: 126-3 after 19 overs

18.6 Naseem Shah to Najibullah, SIX, that should seal it for Afghanistan! A powerful strike down the ground from Najibullah who gets a length ball on off stump and clubs it over long-on. Just 5 needed off the final over now as Naseem goes for 17 in the penultimate one

18.5 Naseem Shah to Nabi, 1 run, slower short ball, climbs on Nabi who's not in control of the pull this time. It loops in the air and falls short of deep backward square

18.4 Naseem Shah to Nabi, 2 runs, nails the yorker on off, but Nabi still gets two out of it as he squeezes it through midwicket

18.3 Naseem Shah to Najibullah, byes, 1 run, length ball slanted in, Najibullah backs away and swings hard but misses. Azam Khan dives across to his right but can't stop it cleanly and they get across for a bye

18.2 Naseem Shah to Nabi, 1 run, slower short ball, Nabi gets right on top of it and belts the pull away to deep backward square

18.1 Naseem Shah to Nabi, SIX, wow what a hit! He did it for Afghanistan in the first match, and has now produced a massive six with 22 needed off 12! Back of a length on middle and leg, Nabi hangs back and muscles the pull over square leg. It's gone over the roof, and the umpires are asking for a replacement

AFG: 109-3 after 18 overs

17.6 Ihsanullah to Nabi, 1 run, short of length just outside off, Nabi gets a thick inside edge onto pad and gets across for one

17.5 Ihsanullah to Najibullah, 1 run, good work from Zaman at third man. Short ball across off, Najibullah swings hard on the pull and it flies off the top-edge. Zaman charges across to his right, and saves the boundary after it bounces short of him

17.4 Ihsanullah to Najibullah, FOUR, pitched up outside off, in the slot for Najibullah who doesn't miss out this time. He swings hard and hammers it over mid-off
