Openers, Tayyab Tahir, and bowlers perform excellently to help Pakistan A register a thumping win vs India A
India A captain Yash Dhull won the toss and opted to bowl first in the contest. Pakistan A received an early reprieve when Rajvardhan Hangargekar overstepped and dismissed Saim Ayub off a no-ball.
It proved costly as the Pakistani duo of Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan stitched a 121-run opening partnership. Fans got flashbacks of the 2017 Champions Trophy final as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Pakistani opener Fakhar Zaman off a no-ball. Zaman went on to score a match-winning century and was named the player of the match.
Indian bowlers made a comeback after the strong opening partnership and reduced Pakistan A to 187/5. 29-year-old Tayyab Tahir (108 off 71 balls) hit a sensational century at this juncture and powered his side to a massive total of 352/8 in 50 overs.
In reply, Indian openers Abhishek Sharma (61) and Sai Sudharsan (29) put on 64 runs for the first wicket. Arshad Iqbal dismissed Sudharsan in the ninth over to give Pakistan A their first breakthrough. Things went downhill from there for the men in blue.
They lost wickets at regular intervals and got all-out for 224. Sufiyan Muqeem picked up three wickets, while Mehran Mumtaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr., and Arshad Iqbal scalped two apiece.
