With 21 runs still required from the final over, Pakistan entrusted Irfan Khan with the responsibility of defending the total. The UAE batters, though, made the most of their opportunity, scoring all 21 runs in those six deliveries to complete the chase.
The finish left Pakistan on the losing side despite having crossed the 100-run mark with the bat. Irfan was unable to prevent the late assault, as the UAE turned the final over into the defining passage of the match.

The result offered a reminder of how quickly the momentum can change in the six-a-side format. With only six overs per innings, a single over can have a decisive impact, and the UAE made sure to capitalise when the opportunity arrived.
For Pakistan, the defeat will be particularly difficult to take after scoring 106 runs in their innings. Their inability to defend the total, with the opposition needing 21 from the final over, proved decisive.
The UAE, meanwhile, produced the finish required to complete a memorable win at the Hong Kong Sixes 2026.
