Ignored by PCB, Fakhar Zaman Steals the Show with Match-Winning Knock in ILT20

Fakhar Zaman has shown his class once again, proving why he is one of the best batters around. Despite being left out of Pakistan’s squad since T20 World Cup 2024, Fakhar is making headlines with his performances in the ongoing ILT20.

Playing for Desert Vipers, the left-hander delivered a superb knock against MI Emirates, helping his team secure another win. Notably, Fakhar Zaman has been repeatedly overlooked and has not been included in the national squad since he made a post on X about Babar Azam.

Chasing 160 runs, Desert Vipers needed a good start, and Fakhar Zaman made sure they got it. Opening with Alex Hales, Fakhar attacked the bowlers from the beginning. He smashed a massive six off Fazalhaq Farooqi, sending the ball deep into the stands.

Fakhar then took on the spinners, hitting a six and a boundary off Allah Ghazanfar. He kept scoring at a good pace, putting the pressure on MI Emirates. By the time he got out, Fakhar had scored 67 runs from 52 balls, with five fours and four sixes. His innings set up the game perfectly for the Vipers.

Desert Vipers Stay Unbeaten

Desert Vipers won the match easily, making it three wins in a row. Fakhar’s brilliant batting played a big role in their victory, helping the team stay at the top of the points table.

Fakhar Zaman’s innings sends a strong message to the selectors who left him out of Pakistan’s recent matches. He has shown that he is still a top player who can perform under pressure.
