Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2022: Haseebullah scored his maiden first-class century

Nineteen-year-old wicketkeeper Haseebullah scored his first-class career’s maiden century against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

The Balochistan wicketkeeper made 100 not out off 202 balls, hitting 12 fours, and stitched a solid 201-run partnership for the sixth-wicket with all-rounder Hussain Talat, who also made a century, scoring 112 off 195. In what was his fifth ton in the format, Hussain smashed 13 fours.

Balochistan declared at 487 for seven. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s problems compounded as four of their batters had made their way back to the pavilion at 18.1 overs mark and only 52 runs on the board. Akif Javed took two wickets for 26, while Bilawal Iqbal and Yasir Shah took a wicket each.
