Sohail Tanvir proves his fitness as ZTBL crush Sui Gas in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2010-11
ZTBL defeated Sui Gas by a huge margin of an innings and 22 runs in a 9th round fixture of the Quaid e Azam Trophy 2010-11 Division One. After this tremendous victory, ZTBL holds the second position in the points table of Division One with 52
points, just behind HBL which is leading the chart with 57 points. On the other hand, Sui Gas is a former champion of the Quaid e Azam Trophy but is not performing up to the mark in the current season as majority of its senior players are not available to
play as they are busy with their national duty in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
At the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Sui Gas won the toss and elected to bowl first in conditions that were helpful for seam and swing bowling. However, the decision did not turn out to be a great one as ZTBL’s batsmen applied themselves nicely and posted
a good 1st innings score of 362 runs on the board. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Hameed-c2811 made sure that ZTBL is off to a good start as he made 95 runs at the top of the order. He used up 132 balls for his brilliant knock and was unlucky not to complete his hundred. Yasir
struck 10 fours in his knock. Left handed middle order batsman Haris Sohail, who scored a double hundred in the previous match, shined once again with 86 runs off 192 balls with the help of 15 fours. His fellow middle order batsman and a shining player from
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-c89347 accumulated 121 runs for the 5th wicket partnership which turned out to be a match-winning effort.
Imran Ali took 4 wickets for Sui Gas as Asad Ali and Adil Raza picked up a couple of wickets each.
In reply, Sui Gas’ young batting line-up could not handle the pressure well and was bowled out for only 193 runs. The situation for Sui Gas could have been much worse without a single handed effort by the left hander http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raza-Ali-Dar-c84403, who scored 81 runs off
161 balls which included 12 fours. Sohail Ahmed and Jehanzeb Abdullah were off to good starts as well but could not carry on. As a result, ZTBL took a 1st innings lead of 169 runs over Sui Gas and enforced the follow-on.
Left arm fast bowler, Muhammad Khalil picked up 4 wickets for ZTBL whereas Test cricketers, Sohail Tanvir and Iftikhar Anjum took 3 scalps each to help their team dominate the proceedings.
Following on, Sui Gas came up with an even more poor effort with the bat as the whole team was bundled out for only 147 runs in the 2nd innings. Maybe ZTBL’s bowling line-up was a little too experienced for a side like Sui Gas. Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241
was the only batsman who showed some resistance in the 2nd innings of Sui Gas as he scored 53 runs off 113 balls with the help of 8 fours. Adil Raza also scored 47 quick-fire runs.
Sohail Tanvir picked up 6 wickets in the 2nd innings and proved that he is fit enough to represent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Muhammad Khalil also took a couple of wickets to support Sohail.
