MATCH SUMMARY
Pak Barcelona won by 9 wickets
Waseem Abbas 106*(29) | Zulqarnain Haider 1/34(2) Hamza Saleem Dar 58*(15) | Tanveer Iqbal 2/19(2)
IT WAS THE WASEEM ABBAS SHOW AND HE WAS SIMPLAY TOO GOOD FOR THE CATALUNYA JAGUAR!
Having come out to chase 178, Pak Barcelona have made a mockery of the target and have finished off the match with 9 deliveries to spare. This is also the second highest chase in the history of ECS.
Pak Barcelona came out all guns blazing in pursuit of 178 and they just not let the Catalunya Jaguar breathe. Waseem Abbas batted like a man possessed as he hit 15 sixes to go along with the boundaries on his way to 106* off just a paltry 29 deliveries to take his team across the line. Waseem first combined with Mustansar Iqbal for 29 runs and afterwards with Tanvir Iqbal for an unbeaten partnership of 149 runs off just 42 deliveries. Tanvir Iqbal also notched up a 53* off 19 but it was almost like no-one noticed. All eyes were on Waseem Abbas as he blew the Jaguar bowlers out of water. Jaguar skipper Zulqarnain Haider got the only wicket to fall.
Earlier, Jaguar had to this score of 176, one which seemed very good at the point of time on the back of half-centuries from Ameer Hamza (50 off 19) and Hamza Saleem Dar (58* off 15). Catalunya Jaguar had been reduced to 3/31 in the first 3 overs thanks to some good bowling from Tanveer Iqbal who was the pick of the bowlers from Pak Barcelona. But then, half-centuries from Hamzah and Hamza along with valuable contributions from the bat of Waqas Mirza (26 off 8) and Arfan Ullah (22* off 10) enabled them to post a total of 176.
8.5 Farrukh Sohail to Waseem Abbas, NO BALL AND SIX! PKB CHASE THE SECOND-HIGHEST TOTAL EVER IN ECS! Beamer on the middle, he moves across and clears deep square leg with a big pull. So easy, like the rest of the innings!
8.4 Farrukh Sohail to Waseem Abbas, WIDE outside the off-stump
8.3 Farrukh Sohail to Tanveer Iqbal, knocked down to long-on for one
8.2 Farrukh Sohail to Tanveer Iqbal, SIX! Usual business resumes as he thumps it over deep mid-wicket!
100 off 28 deliveries for Waseem Abbas. Also, his fourth-one, joint highest in the tournament history.
8.1 Farrukh Sohail to Waseem Abbas, length ball outside the off-stump, knocks it in the pocket and goes to the other end for his 100! His fourth in the tournament! What a player!
The writing is now on the wall as far as the Catalunya Jaguar is concerned. Waseem Abbas is just 1 away from what would be an astonishing century. Can they finish it off in this over?
