Thank You for joining us for the live coverage of the 2nd Semi-Final from the National T20 Cup, 2022 between Central Punjab and Sindh, this was Vatsal Negandhi signing off alongside Deepak Prakash and our scorer/analyst Ashok Dayma. Do join us for more exciting fixtures across the globe, until then take care and stay safe!!
Saud Shakeel(Skipper Sindh): " I think the way they started I was pretty sure that we have done a good job in the end and I was confident that we will chase down this total. We were trying to take wickets and restrict them to under 200 and we were able to do the same. We were following our plans and executed well". We will try to do the best possible in the finals tomorrow."
Qasim Akram( Skipper Central Punjab):" Actually we scored 15 to 20 runs less and if we would have done that then the match could have been interesting. Our plan was to score 190+ runs but unfortunately, we failed to do so, and overall we didn't bowl well in the middle overs."
Omair Bin Yousuf(Player of the match): " Yeah, when I came out to bat our plan was to build partnership and hit boundaries on the poor deliveries and I stick to my plan and executed it well in the end. I was just trying to tick the required run rate in every over and hopefully, we executed it well."
Zahid Mahmood(Player of the match): " When I came to bowl it was in my mind that the team needs me and I need to get wickets and hopefully I get the breakthrough in my very first over of the spell. I was focusing on the dot balls and taking the wickets."
It's time for a presentation ceremony!!!! Zahid Mahmood and Omair Bin are the combined player of the match.
Vatsal: Sindh has chased down the target of 180 and has beaten
Central Punjab in the 2nd Semi-Final of the National T20 Cup, 2022 courtesy of heroics from Anwar Ali and Omair Bin Yousuf.
Chasing 180, Sindh lost Sharjeel Khan early for 11. Saim Ayub
(46 off 24) and skipper Saud Shakeel (22 off 18) had a partnership of 60 in
just 6 overs. They departed in quick succession as Sindh lost 3 wickets in a
heap. Omair Bin Yousuf batting at 4 played sensibly in the chase and remained unbeaten
on 51 from 36 balls. D Aziz scored 19 in the middle and added 53 with Yousuf. Anwar Ali came in and
hit a brutal unbeaten 32 off 13 which included 24 runs from the 19th over by Daniyal. A terrific run chase by Sindh gets them into the final.
Central Punjab bowlers had a mixed bag today and their unbeaten run of winning 4 matches comes to an end. U Mir picked up 2 wickets for his side. Q Akram, A Yamin, and W Maqsood got a wicket a-piece. The bowlers were tidy in bits and pieces but could not contain the Sindh batters. A Daniyal's 19th over went for 24 and was the game-changer. Their journey comes to an end in this year's competition.
Earlier in the day, Central Punjab, Opting
into Bat 1st, was off to a terrific start courtesy of
their openers. M Akhlaq (28 off 15) and M Faizan (52 off 31) added quick 78 in
just over 6 overs. T Tahir was dismissed for 5. S Malik was dismissed early for
9. Skipper Qasim Akram played a good knock of 25 off 18 but was dismissed at
the wrong time. Irfan Niazi coming in at 6 scored an important 36* off 27 balls
to get the score beyond 175.
The Sindh bowling was decent, Zahid Mahmood was the star of
the show picking 4 for 20 in his spell and got back Sindh back into the game
after an explosive start. A wicket each for Sohail Khan, Danish Aziz, and Asif
Mehmood as they restricted the Central Punjab side below 180 after the start
they got. A really good comeback from the Sindh bowlers as they came back
strongly into the match.
A brilliant run chase by Sindh gets them into the finals where they will meet Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
FIFTY up for Omair Bin Yousuf, he has played a terrific knock in the chase and is elated with joy.
19.2 U Mir to O Yousuf
6 SIX!!!! THAT'S IT, SINDH HAS MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE FINALS IN A HEROIC WAY!!! This was a tossed-up delivery on the off, Yousuf stays back and lofts it over deep mid-wicket for a six to finish the match in the style. Sindh thumped Central Punjab by 5 wickets.
19.1 U Mir to O Yousuf
0 Length ball in the channel, Yousuf pushed it back to the bowler.
24 runs off the 19th over and Sindh now needs just 1 to get in the finals. Anwar Ali you BEAUTYYYYY
