WATCH: Iftikhar Ahmed hits the biggest six of T20 WC Super 12s

SYDNEY: Pakistan middle-order batter Iftikhar Ahmed hit the longest six of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12s during his side’s fixture against South Africa on Thursday.

Iftikhar, who played a responsible knock of 51 runs off just 35 balls with the help of three boundaries and two sixes, stole the show with his blistering hitting and guided Pakistan to a massive total of 185/9 in their quota of 20 overs.

The right-handed batter came to bat when Pakistan were struggling at 40/3 in the sixth over and left the green shirts in a commanding position – 177/8 in the final over.

Meanwhile, on the fourth delivery of the 16th over, South African pacer Lungi Ngidi banged in short and Iftikhar smashed, connected sweet, to sail the bowl into the top tier for a gigantic 106m six.

Iftikhar’s massive six to Ngidi is the longest six of the Super 12s thus far, surpassing David Miller’s monstrous 104m six against India.

It is pertinent to mention that Iftikhar partnered strongly with Mohammad Nawaz (28) and Shadab Khan (52) to power Pakistan to a commendable 185/9 in 20 overs.

Pakistan eye miraculous semi-final entry as they take on South Africa

SYDNEY: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 has so far been a bumpy ride for Pakistan as the chances to progress into the final four looks bleak for them but a win against the only unbeaten side of the tournament – South Africa – today could keep them in contention for a semifinal spot.

Albeit the fact that the Babar Azam-led side would not be masters of their destiny even if the results of today’s match come in their favour yet a win over Proteas could help Pakistan maintain their perfect record against the side in the T20 World Cups.

So far, both teams have faced each other three times in T20 World Cups – 2009, 2010 and 2012 – and each time the Green Shirts came out victorious with the barest of the margins.

Proteas, however, have the perfect combination at their disposal to turn the tables around this time, especially facing their furious pace attack would be a major challenge for Pakistan’s top order.

Pakistan would still want their openers – Babar and Mohammad Rizwan – to fire in a must-win match and lay a solid foundation. South African all-rounder David Miller, on the other hand, is keen to exploit the team’s top-order woes to keep them under extreme pressure.

However, with Fakhar Zaman ruling out of the World Cup due to an injury, Pakistan captain Babar would again reshuffle his men to form a perfect combination.

As far as bowling is concern, both teams have immense strength in their bowling attack and have paid both of them well in the mega event thus far.

Both teams have won their last Super 12s matches but South Africa’s testing and challenging triumph against India can turn out to be a major morale booster for them, while the Green Shirts also got their first two points with a victory over the Netherlands.

The current situation of the Group 2 points table hints that if Pakistan win today they could drag the qualifications till the last round of the group matches whereas if Proteas defeat Pakistan they will confirm their spot in the final four.

T20 World Cup: Haris replaces injured Fakhar Zaman in Pakistan squad

SYDNEY: Left-handed batter Fakhar Zaman has been ruled out of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022 with wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Haris occupying his place in the Pakistan squad just hours before they face South Africa. 

International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday confirmed that its technical committee had received a request from the Pakistan team for a replacement for unfit Fakhar, which has been approved.

Mohammad Haris, who was a travelling reserve, has replaced Fakhar in the main squad.

According to the reports, the left-handed batter aggravated his previous knee injury which led to his ouster from the World Cup. The left-handed batter had come to Australia carrying the injury which got worse during Pakistan’s match against the Netherlands on Sunday.

The 32-year-old batter was originally not a part of the Green Shirts’ main squad because of his knee problem but the team management took a risky decision to swap his position with leg spinner Usman Qadir, who was then moved to the travelling reserves.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan will take on South Africa today despite very bleak chances to qualify for the semifinals.

Women’s WC: South Africa edge past Pakistan in a thriller by six runs

MOUNT MAUNGANUI: South Africa’s pacer Shabnim Ismail shone with the ball after Laura Wolvaardt scored a brilliant 75 to power the side to a sensational six-runs victory over Pakistan in the ninth match of the ICC Women’s World Cup, here on Friday.

With just 10 runs to defend in the final over, Shabnim held her nerves calm to bowl a splendid over; conceding just three runs to power her side to a thrilling victory by six runs.

Set to chase 224, Pakistan managed to score 217 before being bowled out on the final delivery despite the brilliant half-centuries from Nida Dar and Omaima Sohail.

In the run chase, the green shirts were off to a poor start; losing two wickets for a combined score of 26 as the opener Sidra Ameen and the skipper Bismah Maroof dismissed for 12 and a duck respectively.

Nahida Khan and Omaima then anchored the run chase with a valiant 69 runs partnership for the third wicket before the former walked back to the pavilion in the 26th over. Nahida scored 40 off 71 with the help of five boundaries.

Omaima on the other hand fell briefly after putting on another handy partnership for the green shirts with Nida. The right-handed batter top-scored with 65 off 104 deliveries, laced with seven boundaries.

Following her departure, the green shirts began to lose wickets at an alarming rate and slipped from 144/3 to a193/7 in the 47th over.

The newly joined Diana Baig smashed two vital blows in the 49th over and provided a glimmer of hope as Ayabonga Khaka leaked 12 runs in the final over but, Dar’s dismissal on the last delivery of the over pushed the green shirts on the back foot.

Baig then remained unable to put on the same show in the final over as Ismail successfully defended 10 runs in the penultimate over to drive the Proteas to a scintillating victory by six runs.

For the Proteas, Ismail bagged three wickets, while Khaka and Marizanne Kapp claimed two each. Masabata Klaas, on the other hand, struck out a batter.

Batting first, South Africa posted a commendable 223/9 in the allotted 50 overs at the back of brilliant knocks from Wolvaardt and the skipper Sune Luus – both scoring fifties and guided their side to a respectable total.

The side had a similar start to that of Pakistan as the Proteas lost two wickets for a mere 21. But, the astonishing third-wicket partnership between Wolvaardt and Luus pulled the side out of trouble.

The pair added 89-runs partnership for the third wicket before Wolvaardt walked back after top-scoring with her 75. The skipper Luus, on the other hand, followed back with her gritty 62 off 102 balls with the help of two boundaries and a six.

Handy cameos down the order from Chloe Tyron and Trisha Chetty; both scoring 31, further bolstered the side to a decent total after a threatening collapse.

For Pakistan, Fatima Sana and Ghulam Fatima took three wickets each, while Diana Baig and Nashra Sandhu made one scalp each.
