What's new

Peshawar Zalmi (144) defeat Legends XI (138/6) by 6 runs in an exhibition match for flood relief in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Why did they change the name? I like Arbab Niaz Stadium as a name
 
Good to see this effort. People really need the help right now.
 
Also heard that Babar could be playing this game as well... Crowd puller.
Maybe a 20 ball hundred against Shahid Afridi, Arshad Khan, Umar Gul and Riaz Afridi can bring him back into the national side as an improved modern batter?

Well, that is not the moto of this game... We want more people to come so that the money can help those in need... SIMPLE

Ah ok

Hopefully Babar is playing this free of charge instead of asking for a fee to play.

Umar Gul will likely dismiss him instead

He already has a record of hitting 26 balls 100 in a 2017 charity match
 
Peshawar Zalmi and captain Babar Azam are at the forefront of efforts to help flood victims.

Babar Azam will be in action in a special Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) flood relief exhibition match in Peshawar.

The match between Peshawar Zalmi and a Legends XI will be played at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium on August 30. All proceeds from the match will be given to flood victims in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

20 ball hundred vs Gul, Afridi & Arshad? What made you think that? They were much better than the current players during their peak and i believe would still give them tough competition.

I also hope he’s not participating this so he can go and stat pad in Major Misbah style 😂

Yes, I'm so pumped for this. Another chance to watch Babar. Hope the food will be good during the innings break. Will they do a buffet do you know?
 
The name change of the Arbab Niaz stadium is an absolutely cringe worthy thing that should have never happened & must be reversed.

Shameful & disgusting.

Its not cringe. I would rather have the stadium named after Imran than this arbab guy.

Arbab niaz was some milltary men who became a politician and took over a federal ministry.

Kpk govt did the right thing by scrapping his name and naming it aftet the 1992 world cup winning captain

Good initiative from Javed Afridi. Some big names lined up. Hopefully the event is successful, I hope some rich people and businessmen also donate and it's not all down to poor people.
 
You can go back in the live video. He bowled the 2nd over.

EDIT: He is back to bowl again now
thanks lol i didnt think of rewining, but when I went back I missed the live over. Seeing him and Waqar bowl brought a smile to my face. Shoaib is useless now lol his body has given up but he still has the swagger of a superstar with his demenour.

Shoaib still bowled quicker than Waqar.
 
Babar still striking at near 150 strike rate against half trackers in an exhibition match which is just 15 overs long, while Yasir going at 250+ strike rate
 
Afridi gets another one and PZ is all out for 144 in 14.4 overs...

This is a sorry looking scorecard tbh.

This is the stadium Peshawar/KPK fans have been crying about to hold PSL matches?

Doesn’t look fit enough for club standards let alone professional/fc standards!
