Fakhar Zaman is known for his power-hitting and with selection for Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, he is showing his class in ILT20 2025. In the 18th match of the league between Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriorz, he could score only eight runs, but smashed one big six in that innings that grabbed plenty of eyeballs.
Desert Vipers were chasing 152 after their bowlers delivered in the first innings. Adam Milne bowled a good first over but when he came back for the second over, Fakhar Zaman decided to take on the pacer and launched him out of the ground. It was a good-length delivery on middle and off and the Pakistan batter danced down the track to launch it out of the Sharjah Stadium.

On the next ball though, Milne got his revenge and removed Fakhar Zaman. The Kiwi bowler then got the wicket of Dan Lawrence to reduce Desert Vipers to 24 for two. However, the home team could not find more breakthroughs and Hales along with Sam Curran took Desert Vipers to another win.
Alex Hales scored 77 off just 42 balls with seven fours and five sixes while Sam Curran scored 54 off only 34 balls. In the first innings, Khuzaima Tanveer picked four wickets while Amir got the big wicket of Jason Roy. Desert Vipers now have six wins in the seven matches and are looking class apart from other teams while Sharjah have just two wins in four games.
