Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Haris power their respective sides to victory in matches of the PCB Champions T20 Cup 2024

Mohammad Haris delivered a blistering 61 off 35 balls, while pacer Mohammad Ali impressed with figures of 4-28 to secure a commanding six-wicket victory for his team. In another nail-biting clash, Abdul Samad smashed a last-ball six to seal a thrilling three-wicket win in an action-packed Sunday in Rawalpindi.

The win solidified their position at the top of the five-team table as the second round of matches kicked off in dramatic fashion. The second-placed side also maintained their momentum, thrilling the holiday crowd with a spectacular finish as they chased down five runs off the final delivery.

Batting first, the opposing team posted a competitive 168-7, courtesy of a scintillating knock by Haider Ali, who hammered a 49-ball 73, featuring five sixes and five boundaries. He was well-supported by Umar Siddiq (30 off 29) and Mubasir Khan (31 off 22), but their efforts were overshadowed by a composed chase.

The openers provided a rapid start, adding 28 runs in just over three overs. Mohammad Haris then took the lead, forming a crucial 64-run partnership with Hussain Talat (32 off 25). Shoaib Malik (21*) and Mohammad Mohsin (15*) guided the chase home with two balls to spare. Mohammad Ali stood out with his four-wicket haul, supported by Mohammad Amir Khan, who picked up 2-34.

In the second match, the batting side set a total of 187-7 in their 20 overs. Openers Hasan Nawaz (24) and Imam-ul-Haq (28) gave a fiery start, adding 56 runs in 4.2 overs. Contributions from Rohail Nazir (22 off 17), Shahzaib Khan (16 off 13), and a late cameo by Aamer Yamin (39 off 27) ensured a strong finish. Nisar Ahmed (2-40) and Akif Javed (2-47) were the pick of the bowlers.

The chase was anchored by Mohammad Faizan with a stellar 66 off 42 balls, including five sixes and three boundaries. He shared an 88-run stand with skipper Iftikhar Ahmed, who blazed his way to 66 off 31 balls, smashing eight sixes and two boundaries. Despite Shahid Aziz’s impressive 4-42, including two crucial wickets in the final over, Abdul Samad’s last-ball six sealed the sensational win.

The day delivered electrifying performances and thrilling finishes, showcasing the excitement and intensity of the competition.

Looks like Dolphins have no leg to stand on in this tournament as well.. They were pathetic in one-day cup as well and now in T20s again.

Lake City Panthers Overpower Engro Dolphins in Bahria Town Champions T20 Cup

Rawalpindi, 16 December 2024:

The Lake City Panthers triumphed over the Engro Dolphins by six wickets at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday afternoon. Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Abdul Wahid Bangalzai were the standout performers in the win.

Wasim disrupted the Dolphins' innings with figures of 3-28 in his four overs, supported by spinner Arafat Minhas (2-11) and all-rounder Amad Butt (2-12), restricting the opponents to 106-9 in 20 overs.

The victory pushed the Panthers to six points from six matches, with three wins and three losses, while the Dolphins suffered their fifth defeat in as many games.

The Dolphins' innings started poorly, losing opener Sahibzada Farhan to fast-rising pacer Ali Raza on the third ball. Mirza Tahir Baig provided a brief spark with a 13-ball 19, but Wasim removed him in the sixth over. Mohammad Huraira and Umar Amin were dismissed cheaply, leaving captain Faheem Ashraf (25), Muhammad Akhlaq (19), and Qasim Akram (14) to push the score past 100. Faheem's 34-ball effort included one boundary and a six.

In response, Dolphins' pacer Sameen Gul dismissed Umar Siddiq for five and Shadab Khan for a duck, leaving the chase in disarray at 2-9. The situation worsened to 3-14 when Ihsanullah dismissed Mubasir Khan for a four-ball duck. However, Abdul Wahid Bangalzai and Danish Aziz stabilized the innings with an 82-run stand for the fourth wicket. Bangalzai's 38-ball 51 included two sixes and six boundaries, while Danish scored an unbeaten 38 off 34 balls, guiding the Panthers to victory in 15 overs.

Scores in brief:

  • Match 13: Lake City Panthers beat Engro Dolphins by six wickets at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
  • Engro Dolphins: 106-9, 20 overs (Faheem Ashraf 25, Mirza Tahir Baig 19, Muhammad Akhlaq 19; Mohammad Wasim Jnr 3-28, Arafat Minhas 2-11, Amad Butt 2-12)
  • Lake City Panthers: 109-4, 15 overs (Abdul Wahid Bangalzai 51, Danish Aziz 38 not out; Sameen Gul 2-16, Ihsanullah 2-27)
  • Player of the Match: Abdul Wahid Bangalzai (Lake City Panthers)

To be fair to Sharjeel, he played the legends tournament or something & looked older than guys like Misbah & Younis who seemed fitter, faster, & more proactive than him despite them being way older than him.

The hero from Hyderabad has his best days behind him, he should focus on playing Ramadan tournaments, tape ball cricket, or other such cricket now, this stuff is beyond him for the moment.

Agreed he wasted his talent and only he's to blame. His awful fitness along with fielding never really improved even in his young days. He should stick to playing Sindh league, Ramadan tournaments. There was a lot of noise wanting him in the team till a month or so back. He's clearly done even at domestic level, let alone international.

They have a decent team. Faheem, tahir baig, Farhan, Qasim Akram, Ihsanullah though coming back from injury, ikhlaq who people want in the team along with huraira. Then you have umer amin. They have a solid team. But when you have sarfraz part of the management this is bound to happen. Their team is certainly not bad enough to be on a 10 games losing streak. They deserve this for playing Shakeel sheikh's son.

Nafay hammered three sixes and seven boundaries in an unbeaten 44-ball 66, while Fakhar Zaman scored his first half-century of the tournament with a quick 34-ball 53, featuring a six and eight boundaries. Their aggressive 113-run opening partnership made it easy for UMT Markhors to chase down a modest target of 140 in just 14.1 overs.

The win propelled UMT Markhors to the top of the table with 10 points from six matches.

Engro Dolphins, having lost all six of their matches, are out of contention for the final on December 25th.

Contributions from Salman Khan Jnr (13), Qasim Akram (31), and skipper Faheem Ashraf (20) took the score to 139-8.

Nisar Ahmad was the standout bowler for UMT Markhors, claiming 4-22, making him the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 12 wickets. Akif Javed also contributed with 2-28.

Scores in brief:

This is a very mediocre tournament.Scrapping 8 regional team format was a big mistake.Two more teams could have been added but scrapping the format was wrong.Groups within PCB and vested interests do not want 8 or 10 regional teams.They want jobs for the boys.10 first eleven and 10 second eleven teams are enough.

Stallions thump Markhors, Afaq hat-trick lifts Lions to the top

Fast bowler Afaq Afridi rewrote record books with the best bowling figures by a Pakistan bowler on T20 debut and a hat-trick, lifting Nurpur Lions to the top of the Bahria Town Champions T20 Cup with a seven-wicket win over Engro Dolphins at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Friday.

The second last double-header saw ABL Stallions displacing UMT Markhors from the top of the table in the morning game with a clinical 29-run win.

The second match saw Afaq Afridi register the best figures on debut by any Pakistan bowler with 5-18 including a hat-trick to demolish Dolphins for 71 in 16 overs.

Nurpur Lions raced to victory in just nine overs to go top of the five-team table with ten points and a better net run-rate of 1.07. ABL Stallions are now second and UMR Markhors third -- both teams have ten points each but Stallions have a better net run-rate.

Lake City Panthers are fourth, securing six points. The Engro Dolphins have lost all their seven games.

Afaq bettered previous best figures on debut by Zeeshan Khan (5-19) on debut for Multan Tigers against Karachi Zebras at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore in 2005.

Afaq thrilled the crowd by dismissing Faheem Ashraf (three), Mohammad Abbas Afridi (nought) and Shayan Sheikh (nought) off successive deliveries in the 10th over as Dolphins slumped to 38-8.

Fellow pacer Musa Khan also shone with the ball, claiming 4-14.

It was the tenth-wicket stand of 27 between Awais Ali, 15 off 17 balls with a boundary, and Mohammad Rameez Jnr, who scored 11 off 18 balls, that guided Dolphins to a sub-par total of 71 all out in 16 overs.

Opener Waqar Ahmed was the top scorer with a run-a-ball 16.

Nurpur Lions also lost Hasan Nawaz and Sharoon Siraj without scoring to Faheem Ashraf in the first over but Omair Bin Yousuf (30-ball 34 with six fours) and Mohammad Taha (19-ball 28 with four boundaries) saw off the target in nine overs. They shared a third-wicket stand of 66, with Khushdil Shah hitting the winning boundary.

Pacer Mohammad Ali returned figures of 4-13 and Jahandad Khan fetched 3-9 as UMT Markhors failed in the chase of a modest Stallions target of 148 runs with only Saad Masood fighting with a 29-ball 38.

Markhors were finally bowled out for 118 in 18.3 overs.

Markhors lost Fakhar Zaman to Jahandad with the first ball of the second over for one. It started a procession of wickets as Markhors were in tatters at 36-6.

Ali dismissed Mohammad Faizan (seven) and skipper Iftikhar Ahmed (nought) while Jahandad had Mohammad Khawaja Nafay (17) and Abdul Samad without scoring. It became 37-7 when Mohammad Nawaz fell to Usman Tariq for nought.

But Saad cracked two sixes and three boundaries in his knock and added 57 for the eighth wicket with Nisar Ahmed who scored a 21-ball 22 with two sixes. Ali came for his second spell to dismiss Saad and Zahid Mehmood (three) to finish the match.

Earlier, sent into bat, ABL Stallions also found the going tough on a difficult pitch. Shoaib Malik used all his experience to hold the innings with a patient 28-ball 27 which had three boundaries. Taimur Khan and Maaz Sadaqat made 20 each while Mohammad Haris scored 19 as Stallions managed 147-9 in 20 overs.

Jahandad also chipped in with 16 off just nine balls to deservedly earn player of the match award.

For UMT Markhors Akif Javed (2-16), Zahid Mehmood (2-23) and Bilawal Bhatti (2-24) shared the spoils in bowling.

What's this tournament achieving?

There's no crowd nothing at all.

The ground over all looks pathetic. There's barely grass on the outfield as it's yellowish / dead grass.

Picture quality as usual hazy and blurry.

Money and resources wasted.
 
A decent crowd gathered today in Rawalpindi during the match between Stallions and Dolphins in the PCB Champions T20 Cup 2024, and the crowd showed their support for Stallions' Jahandad Khan.
