Ten Pearls Vs Oracle
Friendly Match
Ten Pearls batted first and were off to a splendid start thanks to one of the great innings from a top batsman Ajdal Aziz. He was in terrific form and the bowlers looked clueless against him, he lost his partner quite early in the game but he kept on playing in his merry way. He scored as many as 12 boundaries during his breath-taking innings of 100 which came off just 67 balls that was a great innings which put his side in complete control, he was supported by Mustafa Hassan who knew that Ajdal is hitting the ball cleanly so he kept the strike rotated and scored 26 off 30 balls. The bowling was poor from Oracle, not only they were outsmarted by Ajdal but also, they bowled 32 extras which is not very good. In the end, Ten Pearls managed to score 181 in their allotted 20 overs.
In response, Zain Khan dismissed Shariq Kalam of just the 3rd ball of the innings, which put Oracle on the backfoot, they tried to comeback in the match with the little partnership between Irfan and Wajahat who scored 17 and 19 respectively but they could not manage to bat long. The wickets kept on falling at regular intervals, Abdullah Rahim was the pick of the bowler as he picked up 3 wickets for just 28 runs in his 4 overs whereas Mazhar managed to pick up 2 for 17. On the other hand, Kamran and Zeeshan tried their best to take their side closer to victory as they scored 37 and 25 respectively but it was a too little too late as they fell short by 42 runs.
Ten Pearls won comfortably.
