Asif's been the PSL's best six-hitter since its inception. He had struggled to translate that to T20Is largely due to inconsistent selection & fluctuating roles. The moral of his success v NZ & AFG is to back talent, give it a clear role & sit back & let it shine. #T20WorldCup

Our great friend and cricket visionary @ProfDeano always believed in @AasifAli2018 to get @IsbUnited out of tough positions. What a finisher he is! @ChuckBerry1969 @wasimakramlive #PakvsAfg

As-If #Pak didn’t have the firepower in the lower middle-order. Now, twice in two games by Asif Ali. He’s a real deal. And #Pakistan is the team to beat in this #T20WorldCup Complete team.

Pakistan all the way, ma sha Allah. Brilliant performances from @babarazam258, @iShaheenAfridi, and @AasifAli2018. Afghanistan should be proud of their performance. They played really well.
