“He came! He saw and conquered. “This well-known English quote comes true to Bahawalpur Disabled Cricket Team Captain Mohammad Shehzad, whose team won the recently concluded ICRC Presents Shahid Afridi Foundation National Disabled Cricket Championship 2021, although Mohammad Shehzad was leading his team in the National Disabled Cricket Championship. His team Bahawalpur performed brilliantly in this National event and defeated all the big teams including their former champions Islamabad, Multan and Karachi . The manner in which Bahawalpur defeated the three-time champion Multan team was very unusual, despite the fact that Bahawalpur team had a majority of new players but their game was somehow better and stronger than their own. No less than, he did well in the last three knockout matches
We are also encouraged by Muhammad Noman, who played five Championship matches and was Man of the Match in four of them consecutively, despite the fact that it was his first National Disabled Championship, and that He was selected for the first time, he had a great start, from the very first match he started to show the essence of his skills and also scored a century, his skills in the most important fields of cricket ie batting, bowling and fielding. Ironman persuaded everyone, even a cricketer who is not a wicket-keeper, to show the same performance in all three fields at the same time, and that too consistently, is very difficult, but looking at Mohammad Noman did not seem to It is a difficult task to show the same skill in all the three fields. Truth be told, it was their left hand job and why not. Muhammad Noman bats with the left hand and bowls with the same hand. Muhammad Noman hails from Kahror Paka, a town in Lodhran and South Punjab.
The Bahawalpur team, led by Muhammad Shehzad, a resident of Basti Gahnewala Moza Ghalo, on the outskirts of Melsi District, Multan, proved to be a “giant color” in the recent National Disabled Cricket Championship Received the honor of. It is indeed a miracle of Pakistan Physical Disability Cricket Association that a young disabled cricketer from a remote village in South Punjab became a winner in the grounds of Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city where playing is every cricketer’s dream. After defeating the Multan team of seven to eight members of the National disabled cricket team in the quarter finals, it also defeated Karachi Disabled, the founder and former National champion of disabled cricket around the world. Like Multan, the Karachi team also included big names playing in the Pakistan Disabled Cricket Team.
In the final, Muhammad Shehzad’s team also proved to be a “giant color” for Islamabad. On the paper, the Islamabad Disabled team had a lead over Bahawalpur in many respects. Islamabad had beaten Abbottabad in the quarter finals, which was undoubtedly the strongest team in the recent National Championship. Not only this, Islamabad also defeated Peshawar Disabled in the semi-finals with their handsome teamwork. In the semi-finals, member of the national disabled team and spin bowler Waqif Shah took five wickets including a hat trick. Islamabad’s batting line-up was also excellent, which included Muhammad Noman, Usman Paracha and then Waqif Shah, but it is said that when the two are on the ground in T20, then no team is bigger or smaller, which is the day. Plays well and takes advantage of opportunities to win. The same thing happened in the final of National Disabled Championship at Moin Khan Academy Ground Karachi. Despite losing the toss, Bahawalpur’s winning captain Muhammad Shehzad maintained his grip on the final from the first ball of the match which was rewarded with a trophy and cash prize.
Muhammad Noman of Bahawalpur Disabled was declared the Best Better and player of the tournament while Waqif Shah of Islamabad Disabled was declared the Best Bowler, Ashfaq Shakir of Lahore Disabled was declared the Best Fielder and Abid Hussain of Bahawalpur Disabled was declared Man of the match.
