Match Analysis

Batting first, Pakistan posted a challenging total of 243/6 in 50 overs. Their batting was anchored by Shahzaib Khan (45) and Muhammad Riazullah, who scored an unbeaten 66. Ahmed Hussain also impacted with a quickfire 30* from 23 balls.

Pakistan's innings were built around steady contributions across the board, while Nihar Parmar (2/18) and Kiefer Yamamoto-Lake (1/50) were the standout bowlers for Japan.

Chasing a steep target of 244, Japan’s batting line-up crumbled under the pressure. They were bundled out for a mere 63 runs in 28.3 overs. Mohammad Huzaifa was the star for Pakistan with the ball, claiming an incredible five wickets for just 8 runs in 6.3 overs, including the key dismissal of Nihar Parmar (25).

With this win, Pakistan completed three wins in the league stage and secured a Semi-Final Spot. They will play Bangladesh in their semi-final fixture on 6 December 2024.
