Pakistan’s Blind Cricket Team delivered an exceptional performance to defeat Nepal by 10 wickets, securing a place in the Blind T20 World Cup 2024 final. The match, held at Multan Cricket Stadium on Sunday, showcased Pakistan’s dominance in all aspects of the game.
Nepal batted first but struggled to build momentum, managing to post a modest total of 94/7 in their 20 overs. Durgadatta Paudel stood out as their top scorer with a determined 40 runs off 42 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to make significant contributions. Pakistan’s bowlers were relentless, with Mati Ullah leading the charge. He took three wickets for just five runs in a spectacular spell that kept the Nepalese batsmen under constant pressure.
When it was Pakistan’s turn to bat, they wasted no time chasing down the target. Opening batsman Kamran Akhtar put on a show of power-hitting, smashing an unbeaten 63 runs off just 21 balls. His explosive innings included several boundaries and sixes, ensuring that Pakistan reached the target in a mere 5.3 overs. Babar Ali provided strong support with a quickfire 32 not out from just 14 balls, completing the chase with ease.
This comprehensive victory not only demonstrated Pakistan’s dominance in the tournament but also highlighted their readiness to compete in the final. The team will now face either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh in the championship match scheduled for Tuesday.
Pakistan’s Blind Cricket Team has consistently impressed throughout the tournament with their outstanding performances. Their ability to excel in both batting and bowling has made them strong contenders for the title, and they will be aiming to bring home the trophy with another stellar performance in the final.
