Pakistan's blind cricket team continued its winning streak in the Blind Cricket T20 World Cup with a commanding 8-wicket victory over Bangladesh at Bagh-e-Jinnah Ground, Lahore.
This marks Pakistan's second consecutive win in the tournament, further solidifying their strong start. Bangladesh, electing to bat first after winning the toss, posted a total of 145 runs for the loss of six wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
Muhammad Salman was the standout performer for Bangladesh, scoring 43 off 31 balls, supported by Tarif Rehan's 30 runs off 32 deliveries. Pakistan's disciplined bowling restricted the Bangladeshi side from achieving a bigger total.
In reply, Pakistan's batters delivered a clinical performance, chasing down the target in just 12.4 overs. Muhammad Safdar laid a solid foundation with 41 runs off 29 balls, while Niamatullah contributed 34 runs off an equal number of deliveries. However, it was Badar Munir's explosive unbeaten 28 off 9 balls that sealed the victory in style for Pakistan.
The match featured Provincial Secretary Sports Punjab Muzaffar Khan Sial and Chairman Pakistan Blind Cricket Council (PBC) Syed Sultan Shah as special guests.
Talking to media on this occasion, Muzaffar Khan Sial said that the respect of the country has been increased to a great extent due to the Blind T20 Cricket World Cup being held in Pakistan.
