Markhors’ innings: Kamran Ghulam’s century steers the ship

Markhors set a competitive total of 284/9, with Kamran Ghulam leading the charge. Ghulam’s century, 113 runs off 110 balls with 12 fours and 3 sixes, was instrumental in stabilizing the innings after early wickets.

Skipper Rizwan added a solid 51 runs off 67 balls, while Salman Agha c?ontributed 49 off 47 deliverie?s.

The tailenders also played crucial roles, with Zahid Mahmood remaining unbeaten on 15 and Akif Javed striking a six off the final ball to add vital runs.

Mir Hamza’s outstanding delivery

Hamza was the silver lining for Dolphins, showcasing exceptional skill with the ball. His performance included a standout delivery that dismissed Khan’s. In the first over, Hamza’s immaculate seam position and delivery rattled Khan’s stumps, providing a crucial early breakthrough. Khan attempted to play forward with a full face of the bat, but a slight gap between the bat and pad allowed Hamza’s delivery to dislodge the bails, marking a memorable start for the left-arm pacer.

Saim Ayub gets out playing a no-look shot

Ayub, known for his aggressive batting style, was looking to accelerate the run rate when he decided to showcase his flair with a no-look shot. However, his audacious attempt backfired spectacularly as Hamza, the fast bowler, delivered a well-placed delivery that caught Ayub off guard. The ball clipped the edge of his bat and was caught in the mid-on by Muhammad Hurraira, leaving Ayub visibly disappointed as he walked back to the pavilion for 6 (?12).
