Shahnawaz Dahani will not be available for Sunday’s ACC T20 Asia Cup Super-4 match against India due to a suspected side strain.

The injury happened while bowling in the match against Hong Kong in Sharjah on Friday.

As is the case with any suspected side strain injury, the medical team will monitor him for the next 48-72 hours, following which they will make decisions, including carrying out a scan and further participation in the tournament.

Dahani featured in earlier Pakistan, India clash in the Asia Cup that was won by India. He smashed two sixes in his 6-ball cameo of 16 runs and conceded 29 runs in his four overs.
