Cricket matches are captivating at both the international and national level, garnering widespread interest. The game has been further popularized through modern media. Even at the school level, cricket is enjoyed and played. Recently, an exhilarating cricket match took place between Government Degree Science College Malir and Liaquat Government College Malir on the grounds of Government Degree Science College Malir. The home team won the toss and opted to bat first. The game commenced with Saad and Ilyas as the opening batsmen.
After Sami bowled the first ball, all players were in action. After 3 maiden overs, Ali was caught in the slips. Sadiq then joined Asif and their prospects started to look brighter. Both players played a steady game, with runs coming slowly but surely. Asif had two chances, but Sadiq played flawlessly. The second wicket fell at 50, after two changes in bowling. The next two players didn’t make significant contributions. However, the fifth and sixth wickets added some brisk runs, bringing the total to 90 runs for 4, as shown on the telegraph.
The entire side was dismissed for 170, and then it was time for lunch. After the break, the play continued at 3:00 p.m. when the visitors began their innings. The home team’s bowling was lacking strength from the beginning, allowing the opposing players to take advantage. However, luck was not on their side as two of their top players were caught out due to overconfidence and one was run out. This added excitement to the game. Nevertheless, the fourth and fifth wickets managed to bring the score up to 70.
When Kashif was stumped off the bowling of Asif, their useful partnership came to an abrupt end. As a result, a rot set in and wicket after wicket fell quickly. Despite this, the last pair remained determined and had 40 more runs to make. The game became more exciting as the tail began to contribute. It is admirable that these players managed to raise the score to 140 through heroic efforts, showcasing the unpredictable nature of cricket. Ultimately, the home team won by 20 runs.
