This match shows how the upcoming stars would have fared had they been included in the world cup squad. Karachi Whites have both the highest (364/7) and lowest (103/10) total of this competition.

Disappointed with the Karachi boys, lost to a pretty mediocre Peshawar team.

Oh well, Saifi bhai must now put his focus to the Australia tour and PSL

Peshawar clinched their third one-day cup title after defeating Karachi Whites at Pindi Cricket Stadium by five wickets in the AH Group Presents TransGroup Pakistan Cup 2023-24 final. Nabi Gul hit the winning runs for Peshawar as the Sahibzada Farhan-led side pocketed a cash prize of PKR 5 million.

Peshawar’s last national one-day title win came in the 2016-17 season when they beat the same opponent at National Bank Stadium, Karachi in the final by 124 runs.

Karachi Whites began their innings patiently after being put in to bat first by Peshawar on a surface that seemed to assist the fast bowlers. The first blow arrived in the eighth over with Habibullah dismissed by left-arm pacer Mohammad Imran.

Saim Ayub, who starred with 95 in the semi-final triumph for Karachi Whites, was the second batter to exit the stage when Imran struck again to have him caught by Azam Khan. Wickets continued to tumble as none of the top five batters could register a score above 13.

Karachi Whites skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed was dismissed courtesy a sharp catch by Iftikhar Ahmed for just 22 off 25 balls. Azam Khan was the last man out for 30 off 46 deliveries as Karachi merely scrambled to 103 all out in 31.2 overs. Imran was the chief destroyer with four wickets for 28 runs while Mohammad Abbas Afridi got three wickets.

Peshawar did not face serious hiccups in their chase of the paltry target getting home with five wickets and 27.4 overs to spare. Mohammad Haris top-scored with a quick-fire 46 from 33 balls featuring seven fours and a six.

Sahibzada was out in bizarre fashion as he inadvertently whipped the bails off with his bat resulting in a hit wicket off Ghulam Mudassar. The other four wickets to fall were taken by Noman Ali (two wickets), Danish Aziz and Saim (one each).

Multan’s Haseebullah took home the player of the tournament and best wicket-keeper awards for his tally of 326 runs including two centuries and 10 dismissals. Saim topped the batting chatting charts with 397 runs in eight innings and was duly named best batter of the tournament. Multan leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood and Peshawar fast bowler Abbas Afridi were the joint winners for the best bowler award with 15 wickets each. For his impactful figures of 4-28, Mohammad Imran was declared player of the final.

Scores in brief:

Peshawar beat Karachi Whites by five wickets

Karachi Whites 103 all out, 31.2 overs (Azam Khan 30, Sarfaraz Ahmed 22; Mohammad Imran 4-28, Mohammad Abbas Afridi 3-20)

Peshawar 108-5, 17.2 overs (Mohammad Haris 46; Noman Ali 2-19)

Player of the tournament – Haseebullah (Multan Region) (326 runs and 10 dismissals)

Best Batter – Saim Ayub (Karachi Region Whites) (397 runs)

Best Bowler – Zahid Mehmood (Multan Region) and Mohammad Abbas Afridi (Peshawar Region) (15 wickets each)

Best Wicket-keeper – Haseebullah (Multan Region) (326 runs and 10 dismissals)

Player of the final – Mohammad Imran (Peshawar Region)

Rizwan Mehmood is the one to look out for. Went a bit under the radar during the last under 19 World Cup due to the fact that the management favoured Irfan Niazi over him. Came from the same batch of Qasim Akram and Haider Ali. He seems to have a very good game against spin, from what I’ve heard. Seems well built too.

They are mediocre themselves bar Saim ayub and omair. The likes of danish,Azam etc are bang average at best led by specialist captain is sarfraz.
 
Karachi is basically Saim or nothing. Also, I am trying to find out why Saud Shakil did not play the tournament after coming back from the World Cup? I see Iftikhar and Haris coming straight into the 11 but no Saud. I suppose that was the major difference between the two sides. The dedication within the seniors to be there and do well for their region.
Anyway, onto the t20 cup.

Proberly wanted a rest spend time with family and then get ready for the tests.
 
If you wanted to know what is the basis of problems in Pak cricket, the following encapsulates it all.

Sohail Khan is preferred to Dahani or Mir Hamza in the Pakistan Cup. Ali Shafique was one of the top wicket takers in QEA trophy but only played a couple of games in Pak Cup. Petty politics plague Pak cricket at each level. There is no merit, no planning. Why did Abrar not play since returning from his WC vacation? If Ifti and Haris could play, he could too.

Statistical Review of Pakistan Cup 2023-24

Peshawar defeated Karachi Whites by five wickets to be crowned champions of the Pakistan Cup 2023-24. Sahibzada Farhan-led Peshawar bowled out Sarfaraz Ahmed-captained Karachi Whites for 103 and subsequently chased the target in 17.2 overs to win the final held at Pindi Cricket Stadium on 19 November 2023.

Before this, Peshawar last won their national List A title in the 2016-2017 season. This is Peshawar’s third List A title and overall the sixth national one-day cup title for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the most by any region.

Peshawar’s dominant run to the final:

Peshawar cruised to the final on the back of five wins from seven matches. They only lost one match – against FATA by eight wickets – during the league stage of the tournament, while their match against Lahore Whites was abandoned without a ball bowled. During the round-robin stage, the side defeated Karachi Whites by seven wickets, Rawalpindi by a run, Multan by four wickets, Lahore Blues by six wickets and Faisalabad by 68 runs (DLS). Consequently, Peshawar topped the points table finishing at 11 points.

Karachi Whites and Multan, with nine points each, were second and third on the table and FATA, with eight points, ended the round-robin stage on the fourth spot. Rawalpindi, despite equaling FATA’s tally of eight points, lost out on a semi-final spot owing to inferior NRR.

Peshawar defeated FATA by 44 runs in the semi-final and obliterated Karachi Whites in the final to take home the coveted trophy. Peshawar dismissed Karachi Whites for 103, which is the lowest first-innings total for any List A final in Pakistan. The target was chased with five wickets in hand and 166 balls remaining.

Top performers of the season:

A total of 12,059 runs were scored in 31 matches of the Pakistan Cup 2023-24. The tournament saw eight centuries and 56 half-centuries, 1,075 boundaries and 269 maximums. A total of 419 wickets fell, including four five-wicket hauls and nine four-wicket hauls.

Karachi Whites opening batter Saim Ayub was the leading run-getter of the tournament. He made 397 runs in eight games, including a century and a half-century. His match-winning knock of 179 against Rawalpindi at Pindi Cricket Stadium was the highest individual score of the tournament. Saim also hit the most fours in the tournament with 42 boundaries to his name.

Peshawar’s Adil Amin had four half-centuries in eight games, the most by any batter in the tournament. Multan’s 21-year-old Haseebullah and 34-year-old Sharjeel Khan both had two centuries each, while Karachi Whites’ Shan Masood, Rawalpindi’s Abdul Faseeh, and Lahore Blues’ Imran Butt scored a century each.

Haseebullah was named the player of the tournament for his extraordinary performances with the bat and gloves alike. He scored 326 runs in seven matches, including two centuries and a half-century, as well as 10 dismissals behind the stumps. Sharjeel, meanwhile, smashed the most sixes in the tournament with 19 of his hits going beyond the boundary rope in seven matches.

Peshawar’s right-arm pacer Mohammad Abbas Afridi and Multan’s leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood were the joint-highest wicket-takers of the tournament. Both bowlers returned with 15 wickets each in seven matches. Abbas had an average of 15 with season-best figures of 3-20 while Zahid’s wickets came at an average of 16.87, with season-best figures of 4-44.

The best individual bowling figures of the tournament were registered by Hunain Shah when the Lahore Blues pacer took 6-26 against Faisalabad at Pindi Cricket Stadium. Hunain ended the season with 11 wickets at 17.91 in six matches.

Lahore Whites’ Ahmed Daniyal, FATA’s Usman Khan Shinwari and Faisalabad’s Arshad Iqbal also claimed a five-wicket haul each. Faisalabad’s Khurram Shahzad had two four-fers, the most by any bowler in the Pakistan Cup this season. Multan’s Muhammad Imran and Zahid Mehmood, Peshawar quartet Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Ilyas, Azam Khan and Kamran Ghulam, and Karachi Whites’ Sohail Khan all claimed a four-wicket haul each as well.

Karachi Whites registered the highest total of the season when they scored 364-7 against Rawalpindi at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium. The lowest total of the season also came in a Karachi Whites’ innings when they were dismissed for 103 against Peshawar in the final at Pindi Cricket Stadium.

Faisalabad’s win over Lahore Whites by 102 runs at Pindi Cricket Stadium was the biggest margin of victory by virtue of runs. The highest margin of victory by wickets came when Karachi Whites and FATA won by eight wickets against Lahore Whites and Peshawar, respectively.

For me, the find of this tournament has to be Haseebullah and Saim Ayub. Saim Ayub's consistency in recent games has earned him a maiden call for the Australian Tour.
