The Pakistan One-Day Cup 2024 is underway, and the second game featured a fascinating and unforgettable match-up between the Stallions and Lions, two of Pakistan’s greatest talismans, Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi.
The former Pakistani Test captain got off to a great start against Shaheen Shah Afirdi, but the left-arm bowler ended up having the last laugh by dismissing Babar Azam for a career-best 76 runs.
Amazing Half-Centuries From Hissain Talat Power Stallions, Tayyab Tahir, And Muhammad Haris.
The Stallions Pakistan batsmen had an incredible day at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad, recording four distinct half-centuries in addition to strong cameos from Shan Masood and Jahandad Khan, as the team finished their innings against the Lions Pakistan with a total of 336/5.
Mohammad Haris’s squad won the toss and elected to bat first on a fantastic batting surface that yielded lots of runs from the first ball. Lions utilized seven different bowlers, and all save Khusdil Shah had economy rates over six. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s team were absolutely bewildered.
In the last overs of the game, Shaheen Shah Afridi—who had earlier been hit for boundaries by his countryman Mohammad Haris—snapped the valuable wicket of the rival side’s captain, thus he did not only have one “Last Laugh Moment” throughout the contest.
The sequence in which the Lions bat Pakistan has an enormous challenge ahead of them in pursuit of a total of 337, but they will face formidable opposition from Mohammad Ali, who is enjoying an incredible 2024 in all forms of white-ball cricket.
