Panthers’ Second Innings highlights

The Panthers’ chase got off to a rough start, with wickets falling frequently. Saim Ayub was the only top-order batsman who showed some aggression, managing 20 runs from 15 balls, but his early dismissal triggered a collapse. The Panthers struggled to form any steady partnerships, which hindered their progress in the chase.

Abdul Wahid Bangalzai was the first to fall, contributing just 4 runs off 4 balls.

Azan Awais, Usman Khan, and Haider Ali followed quickly, unable to make any impact.

Skipper Shadab Khan tried to anchor the innings but could only manage 4 runs before getting caught

Amad Butt was the lone warrior for the Panthers, putting up a resilient fight with 72 runs off 84 balls, featuring 9 fours and 3 sixes.

Despite his efforts, the lack of support from the other end made it difficult for the Panthers to stay in contention.
