21 off 7 balls, on a pathetically slow pitch. In your faces haters… If given continuous chances, Umar Amin will keep owning his haters left right & center, iA

@MuhammadWasim77 Well played Pak winning the T 20 Series. Aamer Yamin, diminutive Shadab & M. Aamir were brilliant. Fakhar as usual the batting star cast & unlucky to be given out today. Great to see them ending the tour on a winning note. Pakistan No 1 team in T 20 Rankings👍
