What kind of pitches are these? Asif Ali going bezerk. Nawaz getting job done. Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz planning and chasing really high scores. Faheem contributing with the bat.
 
An unbeaten 111 from 63 balls by Ahmed Shehzad helped Central Punjab to a four-wicket win over Northern in the fifth fixture of the ongoing National T20 Cup at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium.



Set a target of 223, Central Punjab chased down the total on the penultimate ball of the match.



Opener Ahmed played an instrumental role in the run-chase, hitting 13 fours and three sixes to guide his team to their first win of the tournament.



The next best scorer in the Central Punjab’s innings was Saad Nasim, who made 29 from 20 balls with three fours and a six.



Faheem Ashraf lofted two sixes and a four in his 28, which came off 16 balls.



Northern’s captain Imad Wasim was the pick of the bowlers with three for 38.



That Northern had set 222 for six in 20 overs – after deciding to bat - was because of Asif Ali, who struck a blistering 93 off 35 balls with four fours and 10 sixes.



Mohammad Nawaz scored 51 off 35 balls, cracking four sixes and a four as the pair stitched a 107-run partnership for the third-wicket.



Faheem took three wickets for 44 runs.



Waqas Maqsood, Nasim Shah and Usman Qadir took a wicket each.



Scores in brief:



Northern 222-6, 20 overs (Asif Ali 93, Mohammad Nawaz 51, Umar Amin 38, Imad Wasim 22; Faheem Ashraf 3-44)



Central Punjab 226-6, 19.5 overs (Ahmed Shehzad 111, Saad Nasim 29, Faheem Ashraf 28, Rizwan Hussain 20; Imad Wasim 3-38, Sohail Tanvir 2-50)
 
It's funny how our shodaybaaz players tear up domestic cricket, while they struggle to hit an inexperienced spinner like Hasaranga for even one boundary.

There is something seriously wrong with them mentally. You can keep working on their fitness, skills etc but if the player is mentally defeated even before the toss, there's nothing even the best coaches/managers can do.

It's the player's responsibility to take care of himself.

Even babar azam and fakhar failed during that series.Its wrong to discard a player because of two matches.He doesn't deserved to get dropped given he finished the match and did not selfishly get out after getting his century.

Yes let's give him 100 more chances. He's made a dozen comebacks already and failed all the time. Please don't insult Babar by comparing him to this rubbish clown.
 
Naved Malik failed in the opening 2 games. Hopefully this means Northern are forced to give Haider Ali a chance. Hoping both Khushdil and Saif Badar impress today :junaid
 
forget Khush Dil...Rizwan is defo khusing my dil!!! Defo has to replace Saffy in one of the formats
 
Khushdil should be in the LOI squads. His List A record is great. He can hit.

3 players who shouldn't be playing t20s and 1 inconsistent TTF

He is allrounder .I saw him in one of ramzan tournament where he was outstanding with ball .

He is definitely very good prospect
 
Saif badar ,khushdil shah and amir yameen are very good at hitting sixes to spinner .
 
Wonderful to see, such an intelligent cricketer in the making, using the field to his advantage, dropping it into the gaps and picking up the doubles. Champion mindset Mr. Badar

They will likely replace Sami Aslam and Agha Salman. For the life of me, I can't understand how Sami Aslam plays a T20 ahead of Nauman Anwar.
 
Wahab Riaz’s three for 28 with the ball and an unbeaten 17-ball 42 secured a four-wicket win for Southern Punjab over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium in the sixth match of the National T20 Cup.

Wahab took the wickets of Sahibzada Farhan (27 off 19), Adil Amin (7 off 12) and Iftikhar Ahmad (0 off 2) to leave Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reeling at 51 for four in 8.5 overs.

That Khyber Pakhtunkhwa managed a respectable score was due an 83-run stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Khushdil Shah

Rizwan scored 45 off 40 balls, hitting four fours and a six, while Khushdil cracked an unbeaten 32-ball 56, embellished with five fours and three sixes.

Aamer Yamin and Mohammad Irfan picked up a wicket each as they gave 31 and 19 runs, respectively.

Southern Punjab floundered in the first half of the chase with half of their batting lineup back in the pavilion in 8.5 overs with only 51 runs on board as Mohammad Mohsin took three wickets.

But with his unbeaten 49 off 35 balls, which included four fours and a six, Saif Badar weathered the storm. He crafted a 55-run stand with Aamer (15 off 10).

Any doubts over the success of the run-chase vanished when Wahab joined Saif as the former took control and spanked five fours and two sixes to take Southern Punjab home with four wickets and nine balls spare.

This was Southern Punjab’s first win in the tournament.

Scores in brief:

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 154-5, 20 overs (Khushdil Shah 56 not out, Mohammad Rizwan 45, Sahibzada Farhan 27; Wahab Riaz 3-28)



Southern Punjab 155-6, 18.3 overs (Saif Badar 49 not out, Wahab Riaz 42 not out, Sohaib Maqsood 24; Mohammad Mohsin 3-37)
 
Shehzad and Asif Ali continue to do well in domestic but struggle International cricket.
