Asia Cup: Farhan’s Fifty, Ashraf’s Late Cameo Take Pakistan To 171/5 Against India
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Sahibzada Farhan top-scored with 58, while Faheem Ashraf added late impetus with an unbeaten 20 off eight balls, as Pakistan posted 171/5 in their 20 overs in the Asia Cup Super Fours fixture against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.
Farhan’s half-century was the backbone of Pakistan’s innings, marked by his clever use of the crease and calculated footwork. The opener regularly manufactured shots and disrupted India’s lengths, especially during the Power-play, when he took the attack to an off-colour Jasprit Bumrah, who conceded 34 runs in his first three overs.
Pakistan looked set to get a much bigger total after racing to 91/1 in the first 10 overs, with Farhan sharing a 72-run stand with Saim Ayub for the second wicket. But Pakistan lost momentum once Shivam Dube was introduced into the attack.
