In an electrifying final match at the Mong Kok Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground on November 9, 2025, Pakistan showcased their dominance in the Hong Kong International Sixes by defeating Kuwait with a commanding 43-run victory. The high-octane clash saw Pakistan post a formidable total of 135 for 3 in their allotted six overs, setting a challenging target that Kuwait failed to chase down, finishing at 92 in 5.1 overs. Leading the charge was Pakistan’s captain Abbas Afridi, whose spectacular innings proved too much for the Kuwaiti bowlers and secured Pakistan’s sixth Hong Kong Sixes title.

The highlight of the final was undoubtedly the blistering innings from Afridi, who scored a remarkable 52 off just 11 balls before retiring hurt, a performance that left fans and opponents alike in awe. Afridi’s innings featured 2 fours and a staggering 7 sixes, underscoring his aggressive approach and mastery in the rapid-fire format of the Sixes. His strike rate of 472.72 epitomized the explosive batting that has become synonymous with Afridi’s game.

Complementing Afridi’s assault were Abdul Samad (42 off 13 balls) and Khawaja Nafay (22 off 6 balls), who set a solid platform by building crucial partnerships. Pakistan’s innings was punctuated by aggressive hitting and swift running between the wickets, ensuring they amassed a challenging 135 runs in just six overs. The bowling efforts from Kuwait, particularly from Meet Bhavsar who claimed three wickets including key breakthroughs, could not stem the flow of runs from the Pakistani batters.

Chasing 136 to lift the trophy, Kuwait struggled to keep pace with the required run rate. Though opener Adnan Idrees showed promise with 30 runs off 8 balls, the Kuwaiti innings faltered under the sustained pressure imposed by Pakistan’s bowlers. Maaz Sadaqat was the standout bowler for Pakistan, taking 3 wickets for 29 runs, including critical dismissals that broke any emerging partnerships. Other bowlers such as Muhammad Shahzad and Afridi himself chipped in with economical spells to tighten the noose.

The Kuwaiti batters were unable to build substantial partnerships, losing wickets in quick succession and eventually being bowled out for 92 runs in the 5.1 overs they faced. This comprehensive victory by Pakistan was a testament to their all-round performance and strategic prowess in the fast-paced Hong Kong Sixes format.

With this win, Pakistan not only claimed the Hong Kong Sixes title but also reinforced their reputation as a powerhouse in the tournament’s history, marking their sixth title triumph. Abbas Afridi’s sensational knock will be remembered as one of the most explosive batsmanship displays, turning the final into a festival of power-hitting and cricketing brilliance.
