Multan Tigers v Quetta Bears – Faysal Bank T-20 Cup (Group A) – Match Update – Tigers crush Bears by 10 wickets
A stupendous effort from their bowling attack led the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Quetta-c835 Bears by 10 wickets, with 54 balls still remaining, in their Group A match during the ongoing Faysal Bank T-20 Cup, played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today on
December 1.
The Tigers’ bowling attack did full justice to the team’s decision to field first, and the combined efforts of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kashif-Naved-c70396 (3-0-8-1), led the team to bowl the Bears out for a
dismal total which their batsmen chased down with ease.
Only three of the Bears’ batsmen succeeded in passing single digits. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arun-Lal-c46114 (10) were the only other batsmen who managed to put up a semblance of a fight. Opener
Shah Mureed was dismissed on duck, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sabir-Hussain-c87775 (5) failed to apply themselves at the crease, and Jalat Khan (2) and Umar Qasim (0) were similarly unremarkable.
Tail-enders, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gohar-Faiz-c1497 (1) and wicketkeeper Naushad Irshad (3), were unable to orchestrate any sort of a comeback for their team, and within 17 overs, the Tigers managed to bowl the Bears out for a feeble final total of 72.
The chase posed no difficulties for the Tigers, who went on to complete the job within 11 overs, without losing a single wicket in the process. The Bears’ bowlers failed to make any dents in the opposition’s batting line-up – skipper Faiz proved the most
expensive, giving away 23 runs in 3 overs, while Hamal Wahab bled 20 in 3, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jalat-Khan-c65366 leaked 13 in 2. Having conceded 18 runs in 3 overs, Nazar Hussain remained the Bears’ most economical bowler.
Meanwhile, the Tigers breezed through the chase. Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohaib-Maqsood-c90627 remained fixed at the crease, with the former contributing 40 off 34, while the latter scored 32 off 33. Both batsmen struck 5 boundaries each, and set up a composed,
unbeaten 74-run stand which got their team safely over the finish line, with 10 wickets still in hand, and 54 deliveries remaining.
