Bahawalpur beat Multan in third round of Quaid Trophy​

Abbottabad, Bahawalpur, Lahore Whites, Peshawar and Rawalpindi bagged victories on the third day of the third round of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2024-25 while the three Group C fixtures saw little play due to bad light.

At Abbottabad Cricket Stadium, Bahawalpur beat Multan by 78 runs as they defended the 221-run target. At the start of day three, with a healthy 150-run lead, Bahawalpur were bundled out for 70 with Waseem Akram Jnr returning figures of 5-38. Multan, in turn, folded for 142 in 41.1 overs as Bahawalpur’s Muhammad Imran (4-31), Mehran Sanwal (3-36) and Gulfam Aziz (2-33) shared nine wickets among them.

Abbottabad beat Larkana by ten wickets at National Ground, Islamabad to register their second win of the tournament as they chased the 19-run target in just two overs. Larkana, who were 38 runs behind at the start of the day, slipped to 186 all out from 130-5 as Abbottabad’s Aqib Khan bagged 5-39.

At Marghzar Ground, Lahore Whites beat the home team Islamabad as they chased the 109-run target with five wickets in hand, after recovering from 54-5. Lahore Whites wrapped up Islamabad’s second innings for 155 all out after they continued from the overnight score of 129-8. Lahore Whites’ Ahmed Daniyal bagged his maiden first-class five-fer.

Shadab Khan-led Rawalpindi beat Karachi Whites by nine wickets to register back-to-back wins. After Rawalpindi gained a 53-run first innings lead, their pacer Mohammad Awais Anwar ran riot bagging 5-23 to bundle out Karachi Whites for a mere 74. Rawalpindi romped to the 22-run target in 3.1 overs.

Peshawar romped to a nine-wicket win over AJK to hand them third consecutive loss at the Ashfaq Cricket Ground Sirdheri, Charsadda. AJK could only add 71 runs to their overnight second innings lead of 58 runs as they slumped to 171 all out from 100-1. Test spinner Sajid Khan took his match tally to 9-85 as he bagged four wickets. In turn, Maaz Sadaqat and Waqar Ahmed’s half-centuries helped Peshawar knock off the 130-run target in 25.5 overs.

Elsewhere, only 40 overs of play was possible at Saeed Sports City Bedian in Lahore as Quetta were reduced to 92-8 with a 43-run lead against Lahore Blues. Mohammad Abbas (4-43) and Nisar Ahmed (3-30) shared seven wickets among them. Only ten overs of play was possible at Multan Cricket Stadium which allowed Karachi Blues’ opening batter Abdullah Fazal to reach his maiden first-class century (122 not out) resuming from 96 as Blues went from 221-5 to 251-8 as bad light forced early close of play. At Rana Naved ul Hasan Academy, Sheikhupura, only 25.1 overs were bowled before bad light led to an early close. DM Jamali bowled out Sialkot for 451 after they continued from 370-5 as Danish Aziz bagged five-fer. In turn, DM Jamali were 25-3 in 11 overs with a 426-run deficit.

Stats after the end of the third round in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2024/25:

Players who couldn't even get into domestic teams previously are having fun due to pathetic pitches and the poor quality of the players. Some of the guys in the top charts are club level players. Sad to see.

[Muhammad Saad]

Looks like horrible pitches

 

[Markhor]

Pathetic matches between Lahore Blues-Quetta, Larkana-Faisalabad, Hyderabad-Islamabad and DMJ-Lahore Blues.

Looks like we're back to the dark ages of FC cricket and substandard pitches.

 

[Nasty Naz]

There should be some serious questions asked by the journalist to the higher ups regarding this tournament. It is utterly pathetic and constant low scores where teams are being bundled cheaply and FC debutants are picking up for 7fer in their first innings.

There is no broadcast of the matches, no broadcast of even the A tours, it is over-bloated with teams and full of garbage players who don't deserve to be playing FC. Not to mention, every team only gets 5 matches before it gets triangular stage (what even is that and why?). This is supposed to the premier domestic tournament and look at how it's treated. Where are all those dumb mentors making more monthly salary than most players? Are they involved - if not, then why are in the world are they get paid what they are and how would you keep track of who's doing well or not besides the generic runs & wickets which often misses the greater context.

Go back to the domestic it was a few years ago and it was 12 teams in total and 6 & 6 divided in tiers. That domestic tournament was of high quality and it was players who began in tier 2 (like Abrar & Maaz Sadaqat) dominate the lower tier to get promotion to the top tier, dominate that like Abrar did before getting the national call. If you want to expand it to 8 & 8 teams instead, sure whatever but the way it is right now is a complete joke.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Just make the pitches like we had in champions cup and gauge player performance, the players are definitely not garbage specially the pacers , lots of pacers who bowls with good pace compare to trundlers brigade we had a decade ago.

Looking at some of the performance of players on YouTube videos. They look so poor and won't make FC teams. The 6 team was working perfectly fine and was producing results albeit the pitches needed to be better but those were better than uncles picking up wickets for fun.

No even sure what you can make out of this tournament and I certainly won't pick players based on this even for Shaheen squads.

 

[mazkhan]

Bashir has some pace

 

[mazkhan]

Any idea how good is Waseem Akram jr he has quietly picked up 30
FC scalps in 6 games at an average below 20.

He is tall and a very muscular build can swing it to from the videos on YouTube

 

[khyberlion]

Bashir has some pace

He 80mph the videos make him look quicker than he is.

One of the pitch was so horrible that you can't distinguish it from the ground and it's not that the ground was lush green but it was very rough and patchy pitch.

Imam, Waleed score centuries as fourth round ends​

Rawalpindi and Bahawalpur shook hands after an exciting day four which saw both the teams in contention for a win at some point as the fourth round of the Quaid-e-Azam trophy 2024-25 came to an end.

At Abbottabad Cricket Stadium, the match between Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Karachi Whites ended in a draw. AJK were set a target of 228 runs but the game ended in a stalemate as Karachi Whites could only manage five wickets with AJK scoring 112 runs in 37 overs.

FATA Region win the toss and decide to field first against Lahore Region Blues at Gohati Cricket Stadium, Swabi

 

[Muhammad Saad]

PCB curators are too lazy in preparing champions cup style pitches , it's not that these type of pitches can not be prepared but they are just not bothered at all. Seriously a waste of tournament this is and you can't judge any player's performance in this tournament at all specially for fast bowling , may be you can judge batters who can play with high strike rate on these horrible pitches. Impressed with Muhammad Shehzad even though he is averaging only 37 in this tournament but his strike rate is over 100. It takes courage and power hitting to play at over 100 S/R on these minefields.
