In the 20th over of the innings, Iftikhar made Wahab Riaz his target. He hit the entire stadium with enthusiasm by hitting consecutive sixes in the first three balls. What was it then, Wahab changed the angle to stop Iftikhar but where was he going to stop. Iftikhar hit a six on the last three balls of the over. With this Iftikhar’s explosive innings, Quetta’s team scored 185 runs in the stipulated 20 overs.
Although Wahab’s bowling was excellent till this last over and he also took three wickets in his name, but after spending 36 runs in the last over, he also proved to be the most expensive bowler for Peshawar. Let us tell you that Wahab has been one of the premier fast bowlers of Pakistan cricket, although he is now seen only in the Pakistan Super League.
On the other hand, Iftikhar is a fast emerging player for the Pakistani team. Iftikhar’s performance in the recent Bangladesh Premier League was commendable. Apart from this, he is also getting continuous opportunities in the national team under the captaincy of Babar Azam.
