Live Scores - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa vs Northern - 14th Match

Current Form Khyber Pakhtunkhwa:

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won their last match against Sindh by 113 runs.

Sindh won the toss and elected to bowl first. Khyber openers Waqar Ahmed and Aamer Azmat lost their wickets early on in the innings. Kamran Ghulam played a good hand in his innings of 47 in 59 balls. Just when it looked like Khyber was making a comeback, a wicket fell. After the middle order failed to impress, Sameen Gul and Ahmed Khan combined together in the lower order and collected important death over runs for their team. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were eventually bowled out for 220. For Sindh, Danish Aziz picked up 3 wickets for just 44 runs.

Chasing 220, Sindh lost their in-form batter Sharjeel Khan for a duck. This really put Sindh on the backfoot. His dismissal triggered a monumental collapse and Sindh were down to 90 for 7. There was simply no recovery from there on as Sindh were bowled out for 107, losing the match by a huge margin of 113 runs. Khalid Usman of Khyber picked up 5 wickets for just 8 runs.

Current Form Northern:

Northern lost their last match against Southern Punjab by 67 runs.

Northern won the toss and elected to bowl first. Southern Punjab found themselves in a lot of bother when they were 3 down for just 41 runs. This is when the talismanic skipper Agha Salman came to the crease and attacked the bowlers fiercely right from the word go. He scored more than 50 percent of the team’s runs as he made an impressive 171 off 134 balls. His innings included 18 fours and 6 maximums. On the back of his tremendous knock, Southern Punjab reached a commendable total of 284 in their innings.

Chasing 284, Northern could not get off to a brilliant start as they lost 3 wickets for just 68 runs. Northern batters could never gain the right momentum throughout the innings and Northern never really looked into the game. The wickets fell in a regular fashion and that created pressure on to the middle order. Rohail Nazir and Mubasir Khan fought hard with their partnership of 62 runs for the 5th wicket. After these two were dismissed, it was only a formality for the Southern Punjab bowlers as Northern got bowled out for 217, losing the match by a significant margin of 67 runs. For Southern Punjab, Khushdil Shah picked up 2 wickets for just 29 runs.
