All-round Khyber trump Balochistan: The 55-run loss left Bismillah Khan‘s team in fifth place out of the table of six.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa climbed to second place in Pakistan’s T20 National Cup standings, while Baluchistan remained in fifth place after Mohammad Rizwan‘s team showed a dominant performance in Rawalpindi on Saturday night. The lower order did the work with the bat.
To take Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from a probable good sum of around 180 to a whopping 202 for 5 after being told to hit.
Asif Afridi and Arshad Iqbal then returned to Three-four to write a 55-run victory.
It was Khyber Pakhtunkhwa‘s fourth win in five games. And gave them eight points, leaving only Sindh ahead of them. As for Balochistan, only southern Punjab, hapless and winless, is among them.
Rizwan, who scored 34 balls (40). And Israrullah gave Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a decent but unspectacular start (31) added 37 for the second wicket. They were 80 at halftime.
It would have been difficult for either party to pursue it, and Balochistan was in a little hole anyway. That day it was 8 for 1 and then 16 for 2. With Shaheen Shah Afridi in charge, and the seventh field knocked down on 14, for a total of just 83. At that time, Asif and Arshad were in charge, the game was like this. well.
Balochistan survived to the end. However, and that was mainly due to Sohail Akhtar, who scored 61 on 43 balls undefeated with two fours and five sixes to at least boost Balochistan’s NRR.
