Jamaica Tallawahs beat Barbados Royals by eight wickets, thanks to a sensational batting performance from Brandon King and Shamarah Brooks.
Another Pakistani player, Azam Khan, was on the losing side, but he played a fighting inning for his team, scoring an unbeaten 51 runs in 40 balls to help Barbados Royal post a decent 162-run target.
Amir and Imad took to their official Twitter handles after the win.
"God is very kind Alhumdulillah for everything. thanku Jamaica Tallawahs for great hospitality," the left-arm pacer wrote.
