Abdullah Anwari 31* (16) | Zafar Iqbal - 3/16 (2) Waheed Ahmadzai 44 (23) | Shakeel Ahmad - 4/9 (2)
Paris Universite Club made heavy weather of this chase but somehow, in some way, through Abdullah Anwari, got home! But the kind of batting it was on show should worry them. They were unable to stop the flurry of wickets. There were as many as five ducks in the innings with the top three being among the list!
There were only three double-digit scores, and thanks to those, they were able to collect the points and finish on the winning side! But credit needs to be given to the bowlers of Paris Knight Riders! Barring Shahzad Naseem, every other bowler was among the wickets. Skipper Shakeel Ahmad gave away only 9 runs and took 4 wickets. Catching too was pretty good.
But, the runs in the first innings proved to be the difference between the sides in the end! With this victory, Paris Universite Club stay unbeaten and move into the next game with some confidence.
7.5 Shahzad Naseem to Abdullah Anwari, SIX AND PARIS UNIVERSITE CLUB WIN, this one is in the slot again, Anwari shuffles just a bit to make room and hits it really high towards square leg, just clears the ropes and that will be enough for him and his team
7.4 Shahzad Naseem to Abdullah Anwari, good length on the pads, Anwari tucks it into the leg side with soft hands, calls for two immediately and gets it, BRILLIANT RUNNING
7.3 Shahzad Naseem to Abdullah Anwari, GETS IT THIS TIME, in the slot again and Anwari does not miss again, pumped it over mid-wicket for a MAXIO
7.2 Shahzad Naseem to Abdullah Anwari, this was there in the slot, just a bit slower, Anwari wanted to go the full distance, toe ends it and luckily for him it falls just right there
7.1 Shahzad Naseem to Abdullah Anwari, back of a length outside off, dabbed to pint, no run
Shahzad Naseem, right-arm medium, is into the attack.
With the bonus point secured, Paris Universite Club are into the sixties! All they need now is for the bad balls to be put away. Abdullah Anwari is doing a good job here in trying to take his side home!
