The second day of the fifth round saw an even contest between Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) and Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA). The game between Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Pakistan Television (PTV) also entered an interesting phase. State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) bowlers got their team back in the game as Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) found themselves in a spot of bother. SNGPL’s Abid Ali scored his 29th first-class century while WAPDA’s Asif Afridi spun a web around SNGPL batters on his way to a five-wicket haul.

SNGPL vs WAPDA at UBL Sports Complex, Karachi

WAPDA lead by 28 runs in second innings after the completion of the second day’s play as SNGPL were bundled out for 292 in their first innings. Earlier in the day, SNGPL continued from their overnight score of 13-0 and lost Azhar Ali (5, 29b). Omair Bin Yousuf lasted for 55 balls as he scored only 23 runs. Kamran Ghulam (41, 99b, 2x4s, 2x6s) joined forces with Abid Ali to stitch an 89-run partnership.

Meanwhile, Abid Ali (147, 183b, 14x4s, 3x6s) brought up his 29th first-class century, which also kept the SNGPL innings together. Skipper Asad Shafiq (25, 34b, 2x4s) failed to convert his start. SNGPL lost their last five wickets for a paltry total of 13 runs.

Asif Afridi and Khalid Usman bowled in tandem to share nine wickets among them as the former bagged his ninth five-wicket haul. WAPDA copped a big blow at the start of their second innings as opening batter Hassan Abid Kiyani bagged a two-ball duck.

Muhammad Akhlaq (21 not out, 59b, 2x4s, 1x6) and Ahmed Shehzad (43 not out, 59b, 8x4s) carved an unbeaten 64-run partnership before stumps were drawn and erased SNGPL’s 36-run lead while building a small lead.

HEC vs PTV at State Bank Stadium, Karachi

HEC scored 231-8 in their allotted 80 overs in reply to PTV’s 216, taking a mere 15-run lead on day two. Continuing from their overnight score of 111-3, HEC lost Saad Khan (24, 51b, 2x4s) early. Debutant Obaid Shahid (57 not out, 149b, 3x4s) scored a gutsy unbeaten half-century to help his team inch closer to PTV’s first-innings total.

He was helped by Adeel Meo (20, 41b, 2x4s) and Mohammad Azab (20, 82b, 3x4s) who spent time in the middle. PTV’s Jahandad Khan and Mohammad Ibtisam bagged two wickets each while Mohammad Sadaqat and Muhammad Shahzad struck once.

In reply, PTV opening batters, Hasan Nawaz (59, 75b, 5x4s, 2x6s) and Nasir Nawaz (39, 63b, 7x4s) got off to a good start putting on 80 runs for the first wicket. Hasan was dismissed moments before stumps were drawn with the scorecard reading 122-2 and with a lead of 107 runs. Waqar Hussain (24 not out, 45b, 3x4s) and Muhammad Shahzad will continue batting on day three for PTV.

SBP vs KRL at National Bank Stadium, Karachi

Muhammad Irfan Khan (91 not out, 124b, 8x4s, 4x6s), batting at number six, struck a brilliant half-century to cut the trail below hundred. SBP ended up scoring 194 all out in 58.3 overs. Wicket-keeper batter Ali Shan (33, 95b, 4x4s, 1x6) also put up resistance facing more than 15 overs.

Umer Khan dismissed three batters while Kashif Ali bagged two scalps. Arshadullah and Sirajuddin removed one batter each. KRL started their second innings with a 75-run lead.

SBP bowlers wreaked havoc as they reduced KRL to 24-5. Maaz Sadaqat (42 not out, 68b, 7x4s) continued the flow of runs and remained unbeaten by the end of the day. Rohail Nazir (23, 53b, 4x4s) and Umer Khan (2, 3b) were the two other KRL batters to get out as KRL finished the day at 101-7 in 38 overs and a lead of 176.

The second day of the sixth round of President’s Trophy 2023-24 saw some brilliant performances as Water and Power Development Authority’s (WAPDA) Muhammad Akhlaq struck a brilliant unbeaten double ton against Ghani Glass while his teammate Ali Shafique wreaked havoc with a seven-fer. State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) found themselves in the front seat as against Higher Education Commission (HEC) after Faisal Akram registered his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket. The game between Pakistan Television (PTV) and Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) will enter an interesting day three due to a fighting effort from both teams on the second day.

WAPDA vs Ghani Glass at State Bank Stadium, Karachi

Ghani Glass had a horrid start to their day as they were bundled out for a paltry 60 in 25.5 overs, with a massive 152-run first-innings deficit. Opening batters Sharjeel Khan and Kashif Ali were dismissed after scoring four runs each. Tayyab Tahir bagged a 5-ball duck while Mohsin Riaz (18, 33b, 3x4s), Ghani Glass’ top-scorer, didn’t last long as well. Skipper Saad Nasim returned to the dugout for a mere 17-ball 10 run innings.

WAPDA’s Ali Shafique was in red-hot form as he registered the best bowling figures of the tournament so far, bagging a stunning seven-wicket haul for just 14 runs in 10.5 overs. He was aided by Ahmed Khan and Naqeebullah Masood who returned for two and one wicket respectively.

WAPDA were in relentless in their reply with the bat as Muhammad Akhlaq (202 not out, 199b, 18x4s, 10x6s) struck his maiden first-class double hundred, while also registering the first double ton of the tournament, decimating the Ghani Glass bowling attack.. Hassan Abid Kiyani (63, 57b, 6x4s, 4x6s) chipped in with a half-century to extend his team’s lead. Ayaz Tasawar (43, 65b, 5x4s) and Mohammad Basit (35 not out, 53b, 5x4s) also contributed valuable runs to set a target of 519 runs for Ghani Glass.

Niaz Khan, Tayyab Tahir, Mohammad Rameez Jnr and Saeed Ali picked up one wicket each.

Ghani Glass scored seven runs and lost one wicket in the three overs they faced, before stumps were drawn. Kashif Ali and Rameez Jnr (4 not out, 3b, 1x4) will be on the crease at the start of day three for Ghani Glass.

SBP vs HEC at National Bank Stadium, Karachi

The pair put on a 170-run fourth-wicket partnership.

Muhammad Irfan Khan (35 not out, 31b, 2x4s, 1x6) and Ali Shan (13 not out, 16b, 1x4) helped their team take the lead over the 200-run mark. Mohammad Junaid picked up three wickets while Syed Tayyab Hussain dismissed two batters.

HEC started their innings cautiously but lost their opening batter Haider Abbas (12, 45b, 3x4s), with the scorecard reading 38-1. Mohammad Huraira (58, 66b, 9x4s) and skipper Saad Khan (88, 163b, 12x4s, 1x6) put on a 64-run second wickets partnership before Huraira was removed by Afaq Afridi. Salman Ali Agha struck to remove Muhammad Awais Zafar (20, 37b, 2x4s) and Muhammad Ghazi Ghori (20, 42b, 3x4s).

Their opening batters, Imran Dogar (17, 43b, 2x4s) and Abdul Faseeh (53, 53b, 9x4s), put on an opening partnership of 66 runs before Mohammad Ibtisam drew first blood. Ali Zaryab (28, 61b, 3x4s, 1x6) got a start but was removed by Faisal Akram.

Imran Rafiq (79, 138b, 14x4s) struck a gutsy half-century while holding the fort on one end. Sharoon Siraj (10, 15b, 2x4s) and Rohail Nazir were dismissed by Faisal as he continued to spin a web. Kashif Ali (21, 47b, 2x4s, 1x6) too put up some resistance but was undone by Faisal as well.

Shayan Sheikh (46 not out, 39b, 7x4s, 2x6s), batting at number 10, scored brisk runs before running out of partners. Ahmed Bashir (5, 16b, 1x4) was the last man to depart as 20-year-old Faisal registered his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.

PTV began their second innings with an early blow in the form of Hasan Nawaz (1, 9b) as Ahmed removed him. Waqar Hussain (51 not out, 51b, 10x4s) registered an unbeaten run-a-ball half-century. He’ll be joined at the crease by Mohammad Suleman (16 not out, 25b, 2x4s) at the start of day three.

On the same pitch that Mohammad Akhlaq scored an unbeaten double century…

Sharjeel returns scores of 7 and 4 against second rate FC bowlers.

Yet another humiliation for Sharjeel who proves that not letting him anywhere near the PSL was absolutely the right decision.

Does anybody have the scoop on Mohammed Rameez? According to CricInfo, he's 28, but has played only 10 FC games. He has 58 wickets in them.

Where was he all this time? Maybe he should be fast-tracked in to replace injury-prone Abrar.

 

[pakdude]

Teams are not made based on what the owner of that team demands. Teams should be made purely on talent and performance. If moeez performs and deserves a chance then all is good else he should be sitting on the bench and serving water. President's trophy is not some club cricket where you can demand anything, it a Pakistan's domestic tournament, everybody should take is serious.

Apparently in the 3 games that Moeez Ghani has played,

1. He skippered the first game
2. Hussain Talat skippered the second one
3. He skippered the third one in which Shan Masood (Pak red ball captain) played.

Of the 6 games that Ghani Glass has played so far, Hussain Talat has captained 3, Moeez Ghani 2, and Saad Nasim 1.

SNGPL beat HEC by 109 runs on day four to qualify for the final of the tournament. HEC required 283 runs to win with nine wickets in the bag at the start of the day.

Skipper Saad Khan hung around in the middle and faced 149 balls to score 65 runs comprising six boundaries and two sixes before falling prey to Mubasir Khan.

Muhammad Awais Zafar (50, 77b, 5x4s, 2x6s) played well for his half-century before being dismissed by Mohammad Awais Anwar.

Opening batter, Mohammad Mohsin Khan (7, 16b) returned to bat after retiring out last evening. He was outfoxed by Shahnawaz Dahani who went onto hand a golden duck to Sohaib Sultan as well bringing HEC to 133-4.

Mohammad Ghazi Ghori (54, 97b, 6x4s) too put up resistance scoring a gutsy half-century but Dahani dismissed him as well.
