A Bright Day for the Young Opener
In Darwin, Pakistan Shaheens had a day to remember in the Top End T20 Series — and it was opener Maaz Sadaqat who stole the show. He crafted a calm and mature 104 off just 59 balls, helping his side dominate from start to finish.
A Strong Total Set the Tone
With strong support from Yasir Khan (51 off 35), the Shaheens posted a commanding 202 for 6 in 20 overs. Their 149-run opening stand laid the foundation for a win that always felt inevitable.
Bowlers Seal the Deal
When Adelaide began their chase, Pakistan’s bowlers choked the momentum. Mubasir Khan led the charge with 3/19, backed up by Faisal Akram (2/19) and Mehran Mumtaz (2/20).
Adelaide were bundled out for just 95 in 16.1 overs, handing the Shaheens a commanding 107-run win.

For Maaz Sadaqat, this was more than just a hundred — it was a statement. Not many young batters can score like that overseas, showcasing composure and skill under pressure. His innings, combined with disciplined bowling, showed the Shaheens’ real strength — depth, talent, and growing confidence on bigger stages.
