Explosive Middle Overs

Samad continued his assault, hitting a boundary and another six in the third over, pushing Pakistan past 50 runs in just 2.2 overs. By the fourth over, Pakistan was 95-1, driven by Samad’s power hitting and Afridi’s support.

Bhavsar struck again to remove Samad for an impressive 42 runs off 13 balls, and Shahid Aziz fell for a duck, bringing the score to 95-3.

Maaz Sadaqat stabilized the innings with a boundary, but it was Afridi’s remarkable innings that sealed the win. Afridi scored 52 runs off only 11 balls, including seven sixes, propelling Pakistan to a commanding total of 136.
