Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2010-11: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aizaz-Cheema-c961 stars once again as PIA crush SUI GAS
In the 8th round of the Quaid e Azam Trophy 2010-11 division one, PIA defeated Sui Gas by an emphatic margin of an innings and 122 runs. The star for PIA was once again Aizaz Cheema who was sensational in the 2nd innings as he ran through
the inexperienced batting line-up of Sui Gas. PIA’s premier batsman Shoaib Malik was not able to participate in the 8th round because of his brother’s wedding but the situation for Sui Gas was much worse as a lot of its senior players including
Misbah ul Haq, Muhammad Hafeez, Umar Akmal and Adnan Akmal could not play in the 8th round as they are attending the national camp for the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
At the Marghazar Cricket Ground Islamabad, Sui Gas won the toss and elected to field 1st but that did not turn out to be a wise decision as PIA piled up 401 runs on the board and declared its 1st innings with 9 wickets down. Captain
Kamran Sajid was influential in the 1st innings as he scored 128 runs of 310 balls and played the role of a sheet-anchor for PIA. He struck 17 boundaries in his match-winning knock. Tahir Khan batted well and scored 63 runs batting at number 9.
Imran Ali took 3 wickets for Sui Gas as Asad Ali and Zulqarnain picked up a couple of wickets each.
In reply, Sui Gas was not able to match the efforts of PIA batsmen as it was all out for a mere 161 runs in the 1st innings. At one stage, Sui Gas was 7 wickets down with only 95 runs on the board but the last 3 wickets added 66 runs for Sui Gas.
Wicket-keeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jahanzeb-Abdullah-c65310, who was making his First-class debut, was the top-scorer for Sui Gas with 46 runs. Left hander Sohail Ahmed also made 36 runs for his team. Sui Gas conceded a lead of 240 runs to PIA in the 1st innings and could
not avoid the follow-on.
Former pace sensation of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Under-19s, Anwar Ali took 3 wickets for PIA, whereas, Kamran Sajid and Tahir Khan picked a couple of wickets each.
Following on, Sui Gas could not come with a better display with the bat either and was dismissed for only 118 runs in the 36th over of the innings. The man responsible for the destruction was none else than the fiery pacer, Aizaz Cheema, who won
the match for PIA against WAPDA as well in the 7th round. Left handed opener, Ali Waqas was the top-scorer for Sui Gas with 26 runs. Khurram Shehzad and Imran Ali scored 21 and 22 respectively.
Aizaz Cheema picked up 6 wickets in the 2nd innings of Sui Gas and helped his team to get the 4th position in the points table with 1 match less than the 3 top teams of division one. Anwar Ali picked up 2 wickets in the 2nd
innings as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Najaf-Shah-c2056 and Tahir Khan took 1 wicket each.
Aizaz Cheema has been performing quite consistently in the domestic cricket for a number of years now and it is about time that the selectors give an opportunity with the Pakistan-A team so that he can prove his worth and strengthen his case for the national
selection.
