Adeel Century Sets Up ICT Victory

ICT batted first against Karachi Avengers at the 20th Challengers Cup with opener Adeel Khan showing no mercy against the opposition! While the rest of his partners continued to lose wickets regularly, Adeel carried his side with a sensational 121 not out which included 12 boundaries and 9 sixes. Avengers bowlers continued to pick at the other end but were unable to take Adeel down. Adnan Akhtar was the key wicket taker for his side with 2 wickets but ICT ended at a mammoth score of 214 for 5 in 20 overs.

In response, Karachi Avengers needed something special to chase down the target. Opener Waqar Saleem tried hard at the top with a fighting 52 but received little support on the other end. Nadeem Akthar provided some hope for the chasing side with his explosive 58 at a strike rate of 200 but fell just short of the target as Karachi Avengers ended at 198 for 7 in 20 overs. ICT bowlers did well to keep the pressure on with Asad Ullah Ghalib and Ubaid Umer taking 2 wickets each.

ICT won by 16 runs.
