Fahad hammers fine century
KARACHI, Oct 20: A fine century by Fahad Iqbal propelled Karachi to 291 in their first innings against Multan on the opening day of the three-day PCB Under-19 Inter-region cricket tournament fixture at the Academy ground on Wednes-day.
Fahad, younger brother of Test batsman Faisal Iqbal, held the innings together with 115 off 169 balls after Multan opted to field first. His 248-minute innings included 17 fours and one six. Asadullah Sumairi (49 off 90 balls, four fours) helped Fahad put on 118 for the fifth wicket.
Waqas Haroon and Asad Butt were the other batsman to shine. Waqas made a stroke-filled 40. He hammered seven boundaries during his 55-ball knock.
Asad Butt chipped in with 44 off 81 balls with four hits to the fence.
Off-spinner Sohaib Maqsood captured four for 41 while pacemen Mohsin Sadiq took three for 51.
Summarised scores:
KARACHI 291 in 80.3 overs (Fahad Iqbal 115, Asadullah Sumairi 49, Asad Butt 44, Waqas Haroon 40; Sohaib Maqsood 4-41, Mohsin Sadiq 3-51, Imran Gulzar 2-53) v MULTAN.
APP adds: Rawalpindi made 129-4 on the rain-shortened first day of their match against Quetta at the KRL Stadium in Rawalpindi.
When play was stopped for the day at 1.10pm, Danish Hanif (66 with 14 fours) and Ali Sarfraz (41 with four fours) were at the crease.
Summarised scores:
RAWALPINDI 129-4 (Danish Hanif 66 not out, Ali Sarfraz 41 not out; Zahoor Ahmed 2-42, Gohar Faiz 2-48) v QUETTA.
An undefeated 77 by Adnan Umar helped Hyderabad reach 150 for six at the Abbottabad Stadium after Peshawar elected to field first.
Play got under way 30 minutes behind schedule because of overnight rain and continued until 1.43pm before further rain drove the players off the field.
Hyderabad had a disastrous start when the first five wickets fell for 43 runs. But Adnan, who hit 13 boundaries, and Shoaib Leghari (35) came together in a sixth-wicket partnership of 88 to retrieve the situation for the visitors.
Summarised scores:
HYDERABAD 150-6 (Adnan Umar 77 not out, Shoaib Leghari 35; Asif Khan 3-56, Bilal Khan 2-32) v PESHAWAR.
