The Pakistani cricket team defeated Nepal on Sunday and advanced to the final of Blind T20 World Cup 2024.
Opening batter Kamran Akhtar came out all guns blazing in the run chase as he smashed 13 boundaries including a six on his way to an unbeaten 63 off 21 deliveries. He was supported by fellow opener Babar Ali, who made a brisk 32 not out from 14 balls.
Batting first, Nepal only managed 94/7 in the allotted 20 overs despite Durgadatta Paudel’s gutsy knock.
The middle-order batter waged a lone battle for Nepal with a cautious 40 off 42 balls and remained the top-scorer, followed by Ramesh Baniyan, who scored an unbeaten 17 off 30 deliveries.
The rest of the Nepal batters struggled against a ruthless Pakistan’s bowling attack as none of them could amass double figures.
The Green Shirts will face either Sri Lanka or Bangladesh in the Blind T20 World Cup 2024 final, scheduled to be played at the same venue on Tuesday.
