Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed showcased his bowling skills, scalping two crucial wickets in the recently held National T20 Cup semifinal between Abbottabad and Peshawar Region. Iftikhar, who leads Peshawar, dismissed Kamran Ghulam before getting rid of Ahmed Khan. 

Iftikhar Ahmed Gives Angry Send-Off To Kamran Ghulam

After being put into bat first, Peshawar hammered 243 runs in 20 overs, riding on Sahibzada Farhan's blistering knock of 148 runs. In response, Abbottabad lost Sajjad Ali Jnr before skipper Kamran Ghulam joined Shahzaib Khan in the middle. 

However, before the in-form duo could form a consolidating stand, Iftikhar Ahmed broke the partnership by getting rid of Kamran Ghulam. 

From over the wicket, Iftikhar bowled a full-length delivery, inviting Ghulam to take the aerial route. However, as the batter tried to dispatch the ball over the ropes, he hit it straight to Maaz Sadaqat who took a simple catch near the long-on fence. 

After getting Ghulam's prized wicket, Iftikhar was ecstatic, as he roared in joy to celebrate his success. 

Peshawar To Face Lahore In National T20 Final

After Kamran Ghulam's departure, Abbottabad lost the plot, eventually finishing their innings on 187 for eight in 20 overs. Shahzaib Khan slammed a flamboyant fifty, but none of their batters, apart from him, could put up a fight. 

As a resulte, Peshawar region won the game and qualified for the final, where they will take on Lahore Blues tonight at 8.00 PM IST.
