Pitch Report
Captains: 8.5
Simranjeet Singh-I PCC | bat
If it wasn’t for the 23 runs by Singh, the team total of Punjab would have been even more dismal. Only two batters managed to reach double figures for the Punjab side in what was a shambolic batting display.
Foyez Uddin TTP | wk
Needing to chase down a massive score of 156, Fayaz Uddin played a blinder of a knock for his side. His 31 runs came off just 13 balls with 4 huge sixes but that couldn’t save his team from the loss. The big hitting talents of Fayaz Uddin could come to the force once again on Tuesday.
Adnan Ali-I PCC | ALL
Apart from Simranjeet Singh, dependable star Adnan Ali was the biggest bonus for his side. The talented all-rounder scored 18 runs from just 7 balls with all his runs coming in boundaries.
Mohammad Rasel TTP | BAT
TTP opener Mohammad Rasel tried to give his team a good start with a quick knock of 28 runs from 10 balls. His innings included 2 fours and 3 sixes as he was instrument in the brave attempt to chase 156 runs needed to win.
Rana Sarwar PCC | bat
Punjab CC opener scored only 4 runs with the bat as he became the third wicket from the 1st over of the game. Sarwar was the only wicket taker for the Punjab side getting the wicket of Gorkha 11 opener S Ghimire.
Tushar Shah TTP | bat
With his unbeaten 19 off 20 balls, Tushar Shah might not have set the field on fire. That one inning shouldn’t be a testament to his abilities though as he has played well previously.
