Sadaf-inspired Rawalpindi turn tables on ZTBL

KARACHI Rawalpindi, inspired by paceman Sadaf Hussain's 11-wicket haul, produced a stunning performance as they turned the tables to beat Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) by 171 runs in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy National Cricket Championship Division One match on Tuesday.

ZTBL collapsed for 139 in the second innings at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium after being a target of 311. Sadaf, who took 6-69 in the first innings, claimed 5-49. Rawalpindi added 16 runs to their overnight tally of 414-9 with Zahid Mansoor remaining undefeated on 120.

Rawalpindi, who had conceded a first-innings lead of 120, earned six points for their fine effort.

Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) took maximum nine points as they overwhelmed Multan by 136 runs after dismissing the hosts for 134 at the Multan Cricket Stadium. Paceman Asad Ali was the wrecker-in-chief with 5-46.

Islamabad claimed three first-innings points after comfortably drawing their match against National Bank at the Diamond Club Ground in the federal capital. Imad Wasim (71) and Rauf Akbar (65) put on 112 for the eighth wicket as Islamabad reached 376 after resuming their second innings at 133-5. Discarded Test pacer Mohammad Talha captured 5-71.

Habib Bank had to settle for a draw and just three points against Faisalabad, who batted out the last day's play to finish on 317-7 with Farrukh Shahzad making 101.

State Bank marked their return to first-class cricket on an impressive note as they whipped Lahore Ravi by 10 wickets in the Division Two fixture at the LCCA Ground in Lahore.

Lahore Shalimar secured an eight-win win after bowling out Peshawar for 263 in the second innings in Mardan with all-rounder Saad Nasim taking 4-63 with his leg-spinners. Akbar Badshah fought a lone battle for the losing side by finishing on 93 not out.

Hosts Hyderabad opted for batting practice rather than forced a result against Quetta at the Niaz Stadium. Left-handers Sharjeel Khan (130), Aqeel Anjum (110 not out) and all-rounder Rizwan Ahmed (83) guided them to 368-3 declared on the last day.

Wapda and Abbottabad won their respective matches on Monday.
