Ace spinner Rashid Khan became the highest wicket-taker in Twenty20 internationals as he helped Afghanistan beat United Arab Emirates by 38 runs in Sharjah on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The wily 26-year-old took 3-21 -- reaching 165 wickets in his 98th T20I -- to derail UAE from 90-2 to 150-8 in 20 overs after setting them 189 to win in the tri-series match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Afghanistan's total of 188-4 was built around a brilliant 40-ball 63 from Ibrahim Zadran and a 40-ball 54 by Sediqullah Atal as they came back after losing to Pakistan in their first game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

UAE captain Muhammad Waseem scared Afghanistan with a rapid-fire 37-ball 67, comprising six maximums and four boundaries in his 23rd T20I half-century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Waseem's departure sparked a collapse as Rashid dismissed Ethan D'Souza (12), Asif Khan (one) and Dhruv Parashar (one) to overhaul New Zealand pacer Tim Southee's T20I record of 164 wickets in 126 games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Afghanistan owed their total to Zadran and Atal as they added 84 for the second wicket after being put in to bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Atal's maiden T20I fifty had four boundaries and three sixes, while Zadran knocked four sixes and three hits to the rope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Karim Janat hit two sixes and as many boundaries in his 10-ball 23 not out while Azmatullah Omarzai's undefeated 12-ball 20 contained two sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Muhammad Rohid and Saghir Khan grabbed two wickets apiece for UAE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Pakistan, who won both their matches in the tri-series, face Afghanistan on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
