Lions stumble in their run chase

In the first innings, the Panthers got all-out for 283 in 46.5 overs, a total that looked challenging but achievable.

In an amusing turn of events, the fifth match of the Champions One-Day Cup 2024, Panthers and Lions, witnessed a bizarre fielding mix-up that left the crowd in splits. The fielding mishap between Sirajuddin and Omair Yousuf symbolized the Lions’ day – one filled with errors and missed opportunities.

A comical fielding mix-up between the Lions’ players

The incident took place during the 20th over of the Panthers’ innings when batter Mubasir Khan played a shot towards deep mid-wicket, only to leave the Lions’ fielders, Sirajuddin and Omair, in a state of confusion.

As the ball sped towards the boundary, both Sirajuddin and Omair looked at each other, unsure of who would stop the white leather. This moment of hesitation proved costly, as neither player made a move, allowing the ball to trickle to the boundary. The comical mix-up not only drew laughter from the spectators but also highlighted the Lions’ struggles on the field throughout the game.

Panthers’ dominant batting performance

Batting first, the Panthers posted a competitive total of 283 runs, getting bowled out in the 47th over. The star of the innings was Mubasir, who played a sensational knock of 90 runs off just 97 balls, smashing 10 fours and 3 sixes. His aggressive batting set the tone for the Panthers’ innings. He was well supported by Haider Ali, who contributed a crucial 84 runs off 99 deliveries, anchoring the Panthers’ innings and providing much-needed stability after early losses.

The Panthers’ batting performance was impressive, with both Mubasir and Haider forming a solid partnership that took the game away from the Lions. Despite a few quick wickets towards the end of their innings, the Panthers managed to put up a challenging total of 283, setting the Lions a target of 284 to chase in their allotted 50 overs.

Lions falter in the run chase

In response, the Lions struggled to find momentum in their innings and were eventually bowled out for 199 in just 36 overs, falling short by 84 runs. Opener Imam-ul-Haq was the only notable performer with the bat for the Lions, scoring a fighting 60 runs off 62 balls. His effort, however, proved to be in vain as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under pressure, with no other batsman ?able to cross the 40-run mark.

The Lions’ chase never really took off, and their inability to build partnerships, coupled with moments of poor decision-making, both in the field and with the bat, cost them dearly.

Thanks to the batting heroics of Mubasir and Haider and a disciplined bowling performance, the Panthers secured a comfortable victory by 84 runs. This win solidified their posit?ion in the Champions One-Day Cup?? standings, while the Lions were left to reflect on their poor batting performance, particularly their fielding woes.

Despite the early breakthrough, the Panthers managed to recover from a precarious position thanks to a gritty partnership between Mubaisr Khan and Haider Ali. The duo put on a 90-run stand, with both batters scoring fluent half-centuries. Skipper Shadab Khan also chipped in with a valuable 37, helping the Panthers reach a respectable total of 283 before being bowled out in the 47th over. Afridi finished with impressive figures of 3/57 from his 9.5 overs, while Ahmed Daniyal also claimed three wickets for the Lions.

Afridi’s performance comes on the back of a decent outing in his team’s opening game against The Stallions, where he picked up two wickets, including the prized scalp of Babar Azam. However, his economy rate of 7.00 was a c?oncern, and the Lions will be hoping for an improved showing from their spearhead as the tournament progresses.

Lions aim to bounce back after a disappointing start

The Lions, currently placed at the bottom of the points table, will be looking to bounce back from their opening game defeat against the Stallions. W??ith a net run rate of -2.660, they will need to turn thin??????????????????????????gs around quickly if they are to make a mark in the tournament.

Afridi’s heroics with the ball will undoubtedly boost the team’s morale, but they will need other players to step up and support their star bowler. The batting unit, in particular, will need to find its rhythm and put up competitive totals to give the bowlers something to defend.

As the Champions One-Day C?up 2024 gathers momentum, all eyes will be on Shaheen Afridi an??d his Lions teammates to see if they can channel the spirit of their legendary predecessors and make a strong comeback in the tournament.

In Match 4 of the Champions One-Day Cup 2024, Babar Azam delivered a masterclass in batting at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. As the Stallions chased a challenging target of 232 runs against the Markhors, Babar’s innings was a key highlight. Coming in at No. 3, he exhibited sublime stroke play and poise, setting a high standard with his aggressive approach. His innings became the focal point of the match, showcasing his exceptional form and class.

A stunning over: Five consecutive fours by Babar Azam

Babar’s dominance was particularly evident in the eighth over, where he took on the fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani with breathtaking flair. After a quiet start with a dot ball, Pakistan’s white-ball captain unleashed a series of aggressive shots that left Dahani and the fielding side reeling. He started with a powerful pull shot, sending the ball racing to the boundary in front of square. Next, he expertly guided the ball down to the third-man region for another boundary.

Dahani’s attempt to intimidate Babar with a short ball only resulted in a thunderous stri?ke through point for a third four. He continued his assault with a deft square drive for a fourth boundary and finished the over with a fierce pull shot that soared to the boundary once again. This remarkable display of batting prowess propelled the Stalli??ons to a strong position at 47 for one after eight overs.

Babar’s departure and Stallions’ collapse against Markhors

Despite Babar’s brilliant innings, the Stallions experienced a dramatic collapse, losing their last eight wickets for a mere 26 runs over the course of 8.4 overs. Babar, who had been a beacon of hope for his team, was eventually dismissed by leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood. Babar’s attempt to play another pull shot resulted in a straightforward catch at short fine leg, ending his innings. Mahmood’s exceptional spell of 5/18 dismantled the Stallionsâ€?batting line-up, leading to their collapse and a final total of 105 all out in just 23.4 overs.

Babar remains a standout performer in the tournament, currently ranking as the second-highest run-scorer with 121 runs from two matches at an average of 60.50. His impressive performances continue to be a highlight despite the Stallions’ defeat.

The Markhors launched their Champions One Day Cup 2024 campaign in emphatic fashion, securing a dominant 160-run victory over the Panthers at the Iqbal Stadium on Thursday (September 12). The win not only highlighted the team’s overall superiority but also featured a breathtaking display of athleticism from Mohammad Rizwan, whose spectacular catch to dismiss Mubasir Khan was the standout moment of the match. Rizwan’s brilliance behind the stumps, combined with his contributions with the bat, helped the?? Markhors set an insurmountable target, leaving the Panthers struggling to keep pace.

Mohammad Rizwan’s fielding heroics steal the spotlight

While the Markhors controlled much of the game, it was Rizwan who captured everyone’s attention with his outstanding fielding. Having already impressed with an early catch to dismiss Haider Ali, Rizwan’s true brilliance came to the fore in the 23rd over. Facing a short-pitched delivery from Akif Javed, Mubasir could only manage a top-edge that floated dangerously in front of the stumps. Rizwan reacted instantly, darting forward with the spe?ed and precision of a predator on the hunt, before launching into a full-length dive to complete a stunning catch. His acrobatic effort not only sent Mubasir back to the pavilion for 33 off 31 balls but also electrified the crowd and set the tone for the rest of the match.

Rizwan’s valuable contribution with the bat for the Markhors

In addition to his fielding masterclass, Rizwan proved to be a vital contributor with the bat. His composed knock of 45 off 57 deliveries provided the backbone for the Markhors�imposing total of 347/6. Though dismissed lbw by Mohammad Hasnain, Rizwan’s innings was critical in setting the stage for Iftikhar Ahmed and Muhammad Abdul Samad to launch their late assault. Their explosive half-cent??uries ensured that the Markhors posted a daunting total, one that ultimately proved far too much for the Panthers to chase down.

The Panthers crumble under pressure

Chasing 348 was always going to be a tall order for the Panthers, and their innings began on a shaky note with the early dismissal of Saim Ayub for 20. Despite a spirited effort from Amad Butt, who fought valiantly with a knock of 72 off 84 balls, the rest of the lineup failed to offer significant resistance. The Panthers’ middle and lower order collapsed in dramatic fashion, with five batters falling for single-digit scores, including skipper Shadab Khan, who managed just 4. With wickets tumbling at regular intervals, the Panthers found themselves reeling,?? unable?? to build any meaningful partnerships.

Akif Javed and Naseem Shah star with the ball

On the bowling front, the Markhors�pace duo of Javed and Naseem Shah played pivotal roles in dismantling the Panthers�batting order. Both pacers bowled with precision and aggression, each claiming three wickets to decimate the opposition. Akif’s short-ball strategy was particularly effective, while Naseem’s pace and accuracy proved too much for the Panthers�batters. Amad Butt�/strong>s valiant resistance aside, the Panthers�innings unraveled quickly, and once he was dismissed, their hopes of mounting a comeback faded completely. Bowled out for just 187, the Panthers were handed a cr??ushing defeat, while the Markhors celebrated a comprehensive 160 runs triumph.
