With eight needed off the final over, the pair kept their cool — nudging singles before Hassan sealed the chase in emphatic fashion, pulling a slower bouncer over midwicket for six to spark jubilant celebrations.
The win was Sultans’ sixth in eight matches, keeping them firmly on course for the playoffs, while Rawalpindiz remained winless in their debut season after eight defeats.
”We always used Abrar at crucial stages. As other batsmen give him respect they face him carefully and that’s why he is not taking many wickets,” he says.
The high-stakes contest kicks off a double-header that will also see the winless Rawalpindiz take on in-form Multan Sultans in a night fixture at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium.
