Faisal Akram the cinaman has really improved his control and line. He will be our next star.

Haseebullah also looked good
 
It's why he wasn't selected for this WC and why he was selected in previous T20 WC when it was held in UAE even though people completely lost their minds.

No need for someone who will give up more runs in the field than he will score. Aus, Eng, NZ players would target wherever he is fielding.

The squad hasn't been announced yet for wt20. I hope he isn't selected till he sorts out his fitness issues.

Very impressive stroke play for a 17 year old.

Had no idea he was 17 but yeah I was about to mention how he looked. Quite impressed.

His stroke making looks pretty clean and aesthetically pleasing too. Needs to work on strike rotation but power is impressive.
 
Hassan Nawaz has looked really good hitting the ball clean and can play both sides of the wicket.
 
Mirpur Royals have won the toss and elected to field first against Rawalakot Hawks.
 
Watching Hasan Nawaz for the 1st time. Nice pull shut. Does anyone have information on him

An emerging player, possibly 19-20 years of age I believe, there are couple of names similar on PCB website. Appears to have been coming to the system or back to it recently. Scored a solid 56 couple of matches ago as well. Plays shots but, rotates the strike well too.

4th highest run scorer in the tournament currently.

4th highest run scorer in the tournament currently.

A guy that should be invested in.
 
Hasan Nawaz looking like quite the talent.

Ali Imran struggling after a very good start. Personally a fan of him too in the T20 format.
 
Abrar is looking like pick of the bowlers from the tournament. Bowling in PP, getting wickets and keeping the economy low. Batters are having a tough time trying to pick him.
 
Love the strategy Malik has gone with here and its something that should be utilized more which is basically using all spinners in the powerplay.

A lot of teams are loaded up top with players that can play pace but not spin and it certainly showed in that powerplay.
 
Top 4 teams shifted positions within their surroundings on the points table after today's double-header.

Muzaffarabad: The sixteenth match, of the Kingdom Valley Kashmir Premier League (KPL), season two, was an started early however the century stand between young Haseebullah Khan and experienced Muhammad Hafeez was a treat for viewers. The partnership turnout vital as the Muzaffarabad Tigers outsmarted Kotli Loins to earn valuable points.

Kotli Lions, while batting first, started off with an opening stand of 69 runs, between captain Khurram Manzoor (37) and Ahsan Ali (29). The first wicket fell in the ninth over and afterwards a couple of more batters perished, leaving Tigers with 79-4. Another partnership between Sarfarz Ahmed and Danish Aziz topped up the score tally, however, when the team’s score was 130, a wicket of Danish Aziz (29) damaged the cause. Lions crawled to 156/7 in 20 overs. Sarfaraz Ahmed remained unbeaten on 33 off 29 with a solitary four. Only two sixes were hit in the Kotli innings, one each by Danish Aziz and Ahsan Ali.

In reply, Muzaffarabad Tigers lost the opener, Zeeshan Ashraf, early however Muhammad Hafeez and young Haseebullah joined hands to knit a winning tale for Tigers. They played elegant strokes in their 119-run stand.

The 18-year old, Haseebullah was first to go (67 off 50 balls), he hammered two sixes and six fours. Hafeez followed after accumulating 40-ball 62, decorated with nine fours and a six.

It was the 18th over of the innings when the rain stopped play indefinitely. The score was 149/4 in 17.4.

Muzaffarabad Tigers were declared winner, by 16 runs, over the D/L method.

Haseebullah was awarded man of the match for his brilliant innings.
 
Nice to see Haseebullah play really well. T20 likely won't be his go to format but he did flash some big hitting and is very young.
 
This Hasan Nawaz doesn't look like a usual tuller who can hit sixes. Looks a good prospect
 
Azam Khan blasting Zaman and helping finish the game at the end.

Muhammad Shehzad looks pretty good too. Certainly feels like the way some of these younger batsmen bat in Nawaz/Shehzad/Qasim, it's a bit different than our previous upcoming batsmen and a lot power in these young players.

Seems to have enjoyed himself
 
Kashif Ali is bowling well and looks decent pace wise. I believe he is that young bowler that did well in FC too. Good clean action and seems fairly tall too.

Right & left arm leg spinners are completely choking up the opposition. Abrar continues to impress.
