Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), the winner of the four-day first-class President’s Trophy, will aim to conclude the 2023-24 season with another trophy.

Apart from SNGPL, the other six teams participating in the tournament are Pakistan Television (PTV), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), Higher Education Commission (HEC), and Ghani Glass.

The seven teams will compete in a single round-robin format, with the top four sides after 21 league matches qualifying for the semi-finals. While Shoaib Akhtar Stadium, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and Abbottabad Cricket Stadium will be used for the league matches, venues of the three knock-out matches will be confirmed closer to the matches.

Abdullah Khurram Niazi, Director of Domestic Cricket Operations: “Following the successful staging of the first-class tournament, the upcoming limited overs tournament marks a positive step in the smooth return and rehabilitation of departmental cricket, which should be welcomed by everyone.

“The return of department cricket aligns with the PCB Chairman’s policy of reinvigorating domestic cricket across the country, which will lead to more opportunities for younger players and a greater likelihood of new talent emerging.”

Faiq shines for WAPDA in President's Cup​


A fine all-round performance by Mohammad Faiq helped WAPDA to comfortably beat Ghani Glass by seven wickets in a second round action of the President’s Cup One-Day tournament at the Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Friday.

Faiq returned figures of 10-0-52-3, helping WAPDA dismiss Ghani Glass for 200 in 39.3 overs. He then scored an unbeaten 77 to guide WAPDA to the target in 41.3 overs, with seven wickets in hand.

Faiq’s 85-ball innings included nine fours. He shared a crucial 98-run third-wicket partnership with captain Ahmed Shehzad, who contributed a 105-ball 71 containing 11 fours. Alongside Mohammad Arif (33 not out), Faiq built an unbroken 71-run stand for the fourth wicket.

In Ghani Glass's innings earlier in the day, Hussain Talat was the standout performer, scoring 82 from 97 balls with 11 fours. Partnering with Saad Nasim (43), Hussain added 79 runs for the fourth wicket after Ghani Glass had stumbled to 52 for three. However, after Saad's dismissal at 131, the rest of the batting lineup failed to offer significant resistance against Faiq, Asif Afridi, and Mohammad Zeeshan, and were eventually bowled out for 200.

While Faiq claimed three for 52, Asif grabbed three for 34, and Zeeshan picked up two for 50.

Meanwhile, the KRL versus PTV match at the Abbottabad Cricket Stadium was called off due to rain shortly after KRL began their run-chase. When play ended, KRL were 18 for one in four overs, chasing 222 for victory.

PTV posted 221 all-out in 49.1 overs, anchored by Taimur Khan’s 84 off 87 balls, featuring seven fours and two sixes. Ibtisam Rehman (38), Shamyl Hussain (31), and Mohammad Suleman (30) were the other notable run-scorers.

For KRL, Kashif Ali claimed three for 52, Israrullah two for 20, and Sajid Khan two for 32.

Scores in brief:

WAPDA beat Ghani Glass by seven wickets at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium

Ghani Glass 200 all-out, 39.3 overs (Hussain Talat 82, Saad Nasim 43, Khurram Shahzad 20; Asif Afridi 3-34, Mohammad Faiq 3-52, Mohammad Zeeshan 2-50)

Akhlaq, Salman hit centuries in reduced-overs President's Cup match​


State Bank of Pakistan defeated Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) by six wickets in a reduced-overs but high-scoring fourth-round match of the President’s Cup one-day tournament at the Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

In a match reduced to 23-overs-per-side due to overnight rain, WAPDA batted first and collected 201 for three with opener Muhammad Akhlaq scoring an unbeaten 101. He faced 66 balls and struck 13 fours and four sixes. Together with Ahmed Shehzad, Akhlaq added 146 runs for the second wicket. Shehzad’s 47-ball 59 was punctuated with seven fours and a six.

In turn, SBP achieved the target for the loss of four wickets on the penultimate delivery with Salman Ali Agha upstaging Akhlaq with a punishing 56-ball 101 not out that was laced with 13 fours and four sixes. After SBP lost four wickets for 127 runs, Salman and Mohammad Mohsin added 77 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket with Mohsin contributing 23 not out from 13 balls.

The other fixture between Ghani Glass and Higher Education Commission (HEC) was abandoned without a ball at the Abbottabad Cricket Stadium.

Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) beat Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) by seven wickets at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium while Higher Education Commission (HEC) bagged a victory against Pakistan Television (PTV) at Diamond Club Ground, Islamabad in the fifth round of the President’s Cup one-day tournament on Thursday.

After opting to bowl first, SNGPL bundled out WAPDA for a paltry total of 86 in just 23 overs. Only Muhammad Akhlaq (38, 67b, 2x4s, 1x6) and Akif Javed (21, 12b, 2x4s, 2x6s) managed to register scores in double figures for WAPDA.

At Diamond Club Ground, HEC humbled PTV by seven wickets. After opting to bat first, PTV managed to post 194 in 44.1 overs courtesy a half-century from Waqar Hussain (59, 66b, 9x4s) and a valuable contribution of 41 off 45 balls from wicketkeeper-batter Taimur Khan.

For HEC, Aqib Liaqat picked up four wickets for 28. Saad Khan chipped in with three scalps while Waseem Akram and Jahanzaib Sultan dismissed one batter each.

HEC stumbled in reply as they were reduced to 46-3 before skipper Mohammad Huraira registered an unbeaten 78-ball 100 on the back of 14 fours and one six.

Saad Khan contributed with an undefeated 57 with the help of eight fours as HEC reached the target in 26.1 overs with the duo sharing a 149-run fourth-wicket partnership.

Jahandad Khan picked up two wickets and Ibtisam Rehman dismissed one batter.

A 30-year-old batter from Okara, Waqar Hussain, who has played 17 first-class games with an average of 26.73, scored 59 runs off 66 balls for PTV in the last match. Today, he brought up his maiden List A century against SNGPL.

I think in modern-day cricket, a batter only becomes refined after the age of 30. Let's see how his career evolves from here.

Hussain Talat scores century as Ghani Glass secure thrilling win over KRL​


Ghani Glass beat Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) by one run at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi in the sixth round of the President’s Cup one-day tournament on Saturday. The Ghani Glass duo of Hussain Talat (107 not out, 92b, 8x4s, 4x6s) and Tayyab Tahir (95, 98b, 9x4s, 1x6) stitched a breezy 172-run third-wicket partnership to help the team rack up 307-5 in 50 overs.

Sirajuddin picked up three wickets while Maaz Sadaqat and Sajid Khan bagged one each.

In reply, KRL opening batters, Maaz (92, 80b, 8x4s, 4x6s) and Israrullah (74, 94b, 8x4s) put up a 168-run stand. A quick loss of wickets following the mammoth opening stand reduced KRL to 212-4 in 39.2 overs before Aamer Azmat bludgeoned a 37-ball 66 hitting six fours and four sixes yet they agonisingly fell one run short.

Khurram Shahzad, Niaz Khan, Usama Mir and Saeed Ali bagged two wickets each.

At Diamond Club Ground in Islamabad, SNGPL defeated PTV by 65 runs. Batting first, SNGPL posted 328-9 courtesy half-centuries from Abdullah Shafique (68, 53b, 9x4s, 2x6s), Haseebullah (62, 65b, 4x4s, 2x6s) and Abdul Samad (60, 47b, 6x4s, 2x6s).

Jahandad Khan and Farhan Shafiq picked up three wickets each while Abdul Wahid Bangalzai bagged two scalps.

PTV’s chase was highlighted by a spirited Waqar Hussain ton (109, 109b, 14x4s, 1x6) with little contributions from the other batters. Usman Khalid (30, 36b, 3x4s) and Taimur Khan (28, 31b, 1x4, 1x6) briefly provided support as PTV were all out for 263 in 48.2 overs.

Samad, Faizan score match-winning centuries​


Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) beat Higher Education Commission (HEC) by 16 runs in the last round of the league stage of President’s Cup Grade-I 2023-24 at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium Rawalpindi.

Abdul Samad’s blazing ton (115, 92b, 10x4s, 5x6s) along with Omair Bin Yusuf’s 78 propelled SNGPL to 313-9 in 50 overs.HEC’s Aqib Liaqat and Asif Ali Chandio dismissed three batters each in their respective spells.

HEC stumbled in their pursuit of the target but Mohammad Junaid’s fighting knock of 103 off 109 balls punctuated with three fours and six maximums helped them challenge SNGPL. Shahnawaz Dahani effected a lower-order collapse with the valuable scalp of Junaid and registered his second five-wicket haul of the tournament to bundle out HEC for 297.

At Diamond Club Ground, Ghani Glass’ Saad Nasim struck a sublime 100 off 96 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes as his team ended up scoring 292-8 in 50 overs against State Bank of Pakistan. Sharjeel Khan earlier set the tone with a breezy half-century (64, 59b, 10x4s, 1x6).

SBP’s Kashif Bhatti and Mohammad Faizan shared five wickets.

In return, SBP made light work of the chase as opening batter Faizan came out all guns blazing hitting a 93-ball 117 comprising 14 boundaries and five sixes. Mohammad Mohsin chipped in with an undefeated half-century (54 not out, 44b, 8x4s, 1x6). SBP cruised to victory with six wickets in the bag and 30 balls to spare.

The semi-finals of the tournament will take place on 9 and 10 May with SNGPL taking on SBP and HEC facing Ghani Glass, respectively at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Kamran Ghulam (110 not out, 97b, 9x4s, 2x6s) and Abdullah Shafique (101, 102b, 10x4s, 1x6) starred with brilliant centuries keeping SBP bowlers at bay throughout the chase. The duo also shared a 116-run second-wicket partnership.

Meanwhile, Omair Bin Yousuf stayed undefeated with 40 off 38 balls comprising four boundaries and also shared a solid 97-run unbeaten stand with Kamran.

Earlier, after opting to bat first under the scorching sun, SBP lost their in-form opening batter Mohammad Faizan (10, 8b, 1x6) early, who fell prey to Shahnawaz Dahani. Zain Abbas, who struck a crafty century (108, 101b, 17x4s), joined forces with skipper Usman Salahuddin (44, 75b, 4x4s) to stitch a 144-run second-wicket partnership before the former was dismissed by Mohammad Ali.

Zain’s departure in the 32nd over initiated a collapse as SBP lost the last seven wickets for just 81 runs. Mohammad Mohsin, batting at five, helped his team post 278 all out, with a brisk half-century laced with six fours and three maximums returning for 62 off 48 balls.

Ali was the pick of the SNGPL bowlers, dismissing three batters while left-arm spinner Mehran Mumtaz and Dahani picked up two wickets apiece.

Scores in brief:

SNGPL beat SBP by eight wickets at Gaddafi Stadium

SBP 278 all out, 49.3 overs (Zain Abbas 108, Mohammad Mohsin 62, Usman Salahuddin 44; Mohammad Ali 3-49, Mehran Mumtaz 2-49, Shahnawaz Dahani 2-60)

SNGPL 282-2, 46 overs (Kamran Ghulam 110 not out, Abdullah Shafique 101, Omair Bin Yousuf 40 not out)

2nd Semi-Final - President's Cup 2023-24: TOSS UPDATE

HEC win the toss and decide to field first against Ghani Glass at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
 
Higher Education Commission (HEC) advanced to the final of President’s Cup Grade-I 2023-24 as their semi-final against Ghani Glass was hit by rain at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore on Friday.

HEC required 278 runs off 195 balls with nine wickets in hand when the play was called off due to rain. HEC’s qualification to the final was decided based on their second position on the points table at the end of the round-robin stage, above Ghani Glass’ third position.

Earlier in the day, HEC’s bid to bowl first backfired despite landing an early blow as southpaw Sharjeel Khan and Tayyab Tahir came out all guns blazing. The duo put on an aggressive 148-run second-wicket stand off 124 balls.

Sharjeel dampened HEC’s spirits by hitting twelve boundaries and six maximums during his 67-ball stay in the middle, accumulating 105 runs. Tayyab kept the Ghani Glass’ innings intact on his way to scoring 107 off 117 balls with the help of 12 fours and a solitary six.

Usama Mir, batting at seven, bludgeoned five maximums and two fours, taking only 22 balls to notch an unbeaten 51, as HEC racked up 392-8 in their 50 overs.

Ghani Glass’ Waseem Akram and Shahid Aziz bagged three wickets each while leg-spinner Aqib Liaqat returned for two wickets.

Scores in brief:

No Result

Ghani Glass 392-8, 50 overs (Tayyab Tahir 107, Sharjeel Khan 105, Saad Nasim 61, Usama Mir 51 not out; Shahid Aziz 3-66, Waseem Akram 3-70)

HEC 115-1, 17.3 overs (Mohammad Huraira 44 not out, Mohammad Mohsin Khan 36)

Final: May 12 - SNGPL vs HEC, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore (3pm PKT)

usama mir scoring a 20 ball 50 is all u need ot know abt this comp, pak domestic was never strong, but bringing back the departments has completely destroyed any hope of developing players
 
Ghani Glass would be feeling that they had the thing under control but the rain spoiled the party for them. They would have won this game in the end if the game was completed.

Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) beat Higher Education Commission (HEC) by eight wickets to win the final of the President’s Cup Grade-I 2023-24 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on Sunday.

Haseebullah compiled his eighth List A century to drive SNGPL’s flawless chase of the 190-run target. The left-handed opening batter hit an undefeated 101 off 79 deliveries featuring 13 boundaries and three maximums as his side scaled the target inside 26.3 overs.

Abdullah Shafique (36, 46b, 3x4s, 1x6) and Omair Bin Yousuf (26, 19b, 3x4s, 1x6) were the only SNGPL batters to be dismissed while Saud Shakeel (20 not out, 15b, 2x4s, 1x6) accompanied Haseebullah till the end of the game.

Mohammad Junaid and Aqib Liaqat claimed a wicket each, giving away 39 and 44 runs respectively.

Earlier, HEC stumbled and failed to post an imposing total owing to regular blows. Six batters were sent back to the hut before HEC crossed the 100-run mark, following which they were reduced to 129-7 in 31.5 overs.

The lower-order showed some resistance with Muhammad Ghazi Ghori top-scoring with 30 off 49 balls while Shahid Aziz (25, 20b, 1x4, 2x6s), and Waseem Akram (20, 27b, 2x4s) also chipped in with small contributions.

Bilawal Bhatti was SNGPL’s most prolific bowler with figures of 3-37, and the trio of Mohammad Ali, Shahnawaz Dahani and Yasir Shah took two wickets each to skittle HEC for 189 in 45.4 overs.

Scores in brief:

HEC 189 all out, 45.4 overs (Muhammad Ghazi Ghori 30, Shahid Aziz 25, Mohammad Junaid 25; Bilawal Bhatti 3-37, Mohammad Ali 2-34, Shahnawaz Dahani 2-38, Yasir Shah 2-38)

SNGPL 194-2, 26.3 overs (Haseebullah 101 not out, Abdullah Shafique 36)
