Mike Hesson dedicates Pakistan’s consecutive wins to flood victims in heartfelt message

SHARJAH: Pakistan’s white-ball head coach, Mike Hesson, took to the social media platform ‘X’ to post a heartfelt message for the victims suffering due to the floods in Pakistan.

Pakistan claimed two successive victories in the UAE T20I triangular series. The Green Shirts opened their campaign against Afghanistan with a comprehensive 39-run victory courtesy of a clinical all-round performance.

After that, Pakistan defeated the hosts, the UAE, by 31 runs in a convincing manner, largely due to a solid batting performance.

For Pakistan, Saim Ayub and Hassan Nawaz starred with the bat, scoring brisk half-centuries which powered them to a commanding total of 207 runs.

In reply, the UAE fell short despite late fireworks from Asia Khan, who made 77 off just 35 balls.

For Pakistan, Hasan Ali claimed three wickets and Mohammad Nawaz picked up two wickets, bowling an economical four-over spell.

Following the victories, Mike Hesson prayed for the safety of people affected by the Flood in Pakistan.

“These back-to-back wins are dedicated to everyone affected by the floods in Pakistan. Some people are really struggling, and we are praying for safety and strength for all those affected back in Pakistan,” he wrote.

For the uninitiated, Pakistan will face Afghanistan on Tuesday, September 2, before squaring off against the UAE two days later.

It is noteworthy to mention that the tri-series serves as a launching pad for the teams to prepare for and acclimatise to the conditions ahead of the eight-team ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup, scheduled to take place in the UAE from 9 to 28 September.

WATCH: Saeed Ajmal bowls Babar Azam with beautiful delivery during exhibition match

PESHAWAR: Veteran off-spinner Saeed Ajmal weaved his magic to castle ace batter Babar Azam during the flood-relief exhibition match between Peshawar Zalmi and Legends XI at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Babar, not part of Pakistan’s T20I squad, opened the innings alongside Yasir Hameed for Peshawar Zalmi.

The duo batted aggressively, smashing the ball to all round the ground, particularly Babar Azam, who was looking good with his elegant stroke play.

Babar Azam raced to 35 off 20 balls before Saeed Ajmal was introduced into the attack. Peshawar Zalmi were cruising at this stage.

Babar Azam first hit Saeed Ajmal for a beautiful six over long on, but Ajmal, known for his Doosra, made a comeback and castled the right-hander with a beautiful delivery.

Babar made 43 off 23 balls, laced with elegant boundaries and a couple of sixes.

Despite a solid opening foundation, Peshawar Zalmi were bowled out for 144 in 14.4 overs.

Chasing a 145-run target, Legends XI fell short by six runs, scoring 138- 6 in 15 overs.

Inzamam-ul-Haq remained unbeaten from 46 off 23 balls, whereas Mahmood scored 34* off 14 deliveries.

For Peshawar Zalmi, Muhammad Irfan and Babar Azam scalped two wickets apiece, while Salman and Zulfiqar Babar took one each.

For context, the charity fixture, organized in collaboration with the Directorate General of Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the provincial government, was held under the slogan “Khel Se Khidmat” (Service through Sports).

All proceeds from ticket sales were being directed towards flood relief and rehabilitation projects in the province.

Since the monsoon began in late June, Pakistan floods have affected several regions of the country. The death toll from the Pakistan floods has crossed 800 in the past week.

In light of this tragedy, Peshawar Zalmi and a Legends XI side faced off today in a high-profile charity clash, uniting current stars and former greats on the field for a cause that stretches far beyond cricket.
