In the second semi-final of the Asia Cup Rising Stars, Pakistan Shaheens scored 153 runs for 9 wickets, setting a target of 154 runs for Sri Lanka A. The innings began well, with Maaz Sadaqat and Mohammad Naeem contributing briskly, taking the score to 24 runs without loss in just three overs.
Sadaqat’s aggressive batting included several boundaries, while Naeem ensured the runs kept coming. However, Sri Lanka’s bowlers, particularly Traveen and Madushan, swiftly turned the game around, taking early wickets that left Pakistan struggling at 62 runs for 5 wickets. Captain Irfan Khan fell cheaply, adding to the pressure.
Despite the setbacks, the middle and lower order, spearheaded by Ghazi Ghori and Ahmed Daniyal, fought to stabilize the innings. Yet, Sri Lanka’s bowlers maintained the pressure, with Madushan claiming four wickets, including vital dismissals of Daniyal and Ubaid. Pakistan’s tail managed to add crucial runs, achieving a defendable total of 153.
