PSO Vs Ideal Sports
Friendly Fixture
PSO batted first and were not off to a great start as they lost Hamza Saeed just for 5 runs. Sajjad Ghani was then joined by Waqas Afzal and they both stabilized the innings to keep the scoreboard ticking. Sajjad Ghani scored 16 off 13 balls whereas Waqas Afzal scored 35 off 27 balls. After the dismissal of both batsmen, Mir Azam and Shaji Yar took the responsibility and carried the momentum forward. Mir Azam scored 34 off 33 balls whereas Shaji Yar scored 28 of 21 balls. On the other hand, the bowlers did a decent enough job to restrict the opposition from scoring big and the main contributor with the ball was Usman Butt as he picked up 3 just for 17. In the end, PSO scored 153 in their 20 overs.
The chase was not off to an ideal start but the partnership between Yasir and Ahtisham steadied the things for Ideal Sports. Even after losing two early wickets, the two batsmen kept on attacking the bowlers and in the process scored some useful runs for their side. Ahtisham scored 28 off just 12 balls while Yasir scored a brilliant 65 off just 44 balls. Zulqarnain fought back picking up 3 wickets for his side but it wasn't enough to defend his team's total. Eventually Bilal and Amir propelled the score forward and scored 16 and 13 respectively to take their side to a comfortable win in 15.3 overs.
Ideal Sports won by 5 wickets
