Pakistan thrash UAE to clinch baseball title

LAHORE: Pakistan triumphed in the inaugural United Baseball Arab Classic, defeating hosts United Arab Emirates 12-1 in the final, the Pakistan Federation Baseball announced on Monday.

Pakistan remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, winning all their group-stage matches, including convincing victories over India, Afghanistan, UAE, and Sri Lanka.

Despite facing logistical challenges, with the Pakistan squad arriving in the UAE just one day before the event due to a delayed No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Sports Board, the team executed a title-winning show.
