Haris stars as Pakistan sweep Bangladesh T20 series
Mohammad Haris has smashed Pakistan's second-fastest T20 century to complete a 3-0 sweep for his team against Bangladesh. The wicketkeeper-batter raised his first T20 hundred off 45 balls and remained unbeaten on 107 as a new-look Pakistan cruised to 3-197 for a seven-wicket win in the third Twenty20 with 16 balls to spare. Earlier on Sunday, Bangladesh made 6-196, their highest total in a T20 against Pakistan, after the hosts' captain Salman Ali Agha won his third successive toss of the series but decided to chase for the first time. Haris continued to follow Pakistan's new aggressive batting approach in coach Mike Hesson's first series as white-ball head coach. Haris hit seven sixes and eight boundaries and also became the first non-opening Pakistan batter to score a T20 century. SIX and a FOUR! Mohammad Haris brings up his 5️⃣0️⃣ in style! 💥👏#PAKvBAN | #ClashOfGreen — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) June 1, 2025 Pakistan had dropped seasoned pros Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi for the series to test their fringe T20 players as a build-up for next year's T20 World Cup. Opener Saim Ayub, who struggled in Pakistan's first two wins with scores of 0 and 4, returned to form with 45 off 29 balls and put on 92 runs with Haris after Sahibzada Farhan (one) fell in the first over. Power-hitter Hasan Nawaz, who scored Pakistan's quickest-ever century in a T20 against New Zealand in March off 44 balls, scored 20 of his 26 runs in fours and sixes before he gave spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2-26) his second wicket. Bangladesh couldn't capitalize on a 110-run opening stand between Parvez Hossain Emon (66) and Tanzid Hasan (42). Legspinner Shadab Khan dismissed Emon in the 12th over and squeezed Bangladesh in the middle overs before fast bowler Abbas Afridi (2-26) choked the batting further in the death overs. Afridi gave away only eight runs in his last two overs and picked up the wickets of Shamim Hossain (eight) and Towhid Hridoy (25) as Bangladesh could score only 46 runs in the last five overs and lost four wickets. Pakistan won the first match by 37 runs and the second by 57 after Bangladesh failed to chase down identical targets of 202 runs in both games.

HBL PSL returns in style
A colourful display of fireworks lights up the sky over Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as part of Youm-e-Tashakkur celebrations, marking the resumption of the HBL PSL Season 10. PHOTO: ONLINE Listen to article The hustle and bustle of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) returned on Friday to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium with a high-scoring clash between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, culminating in a 23-run victory for the Kings. The PSL-10 had earlier been brought to a grinding halt after India launched a drone attack outside the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Initially, it was decided to shift the remainder of the tournament to the UAE. However, following a de-escalation between Pakistan and India, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chose to bring the action back home and complete the event on native soil. On Friday, the PCB also officially dedicated the ongoing Pakistan Super League to the valiant Armed Forces of Pakistan, acknowledging their unwavering sacrifices and steadfast commitment to safeguarding the nation. "We proudly dedicate the Pakistan Super League to our brave Armed Forces who continue to safeguard the nation's integrity with courage and commitment," the PCB said in a statement. According to the PCB, Friday's PSL matches and ceremonies were held in honour of the Pakistan Army, while Saturday would be dedicated to the Pakistan Navy, and Monday to the Pakistan Air Force. The decision has been widely welcomed by fans and the cricketing fraternity alike, who have lauded the move as a fitting tribute to the armed forces' service and sacrifices for the country. In the high-scoring encounter, Karachi Kings posted 237 runs, and Peshawar Zalmi, despite a spirited chase, fell short with 214, giving the Kings a 23-run win and securing their spot in the playoffs. Zalmi's pursuit began with flair, as young Saim Ayub provided early impetus with a fluent 47 off 31 balls, striking five boundaries and a couple of sixes. However, they suffered an early blow when Mohammad Haris was dismissed for 9 by Hasan Ali, caught by James Vince after a brief but explosive cameo. From there, Captain Babar Azam took control. Combining classical elegance with aggressive intent, he anchored the innings with sublime strokeplay. His 94 off just 49 deliveries, laced with 10 boundaries and 4 sixes, kept Zalmi in the hunt throughout. He shared crucial partnerships — first with Saim Ayub and later with Tom Kohler-Cadmore — to keep the chase alive. Despite the solid contributions, Zalmi began to lose momentum in the final overs. Kohler-Cadmore (20 off 15) and Max Bryant (7 off 5) failed to accelerate meaningfully. With the required run rate climbing steadily, the turning point came in the 18th over when Babar Azam was run out, just six runs short of his century, following a mix-up, thanks to sharp fielding by Aamer Jamal and wicketkeeper Saad Baig. Babar's dismissal effectively ended Zalmi's resistance, as the remaining batters struggled to maintain the momentum. Peshawar Zalmi eventually managed 214/5 in their 20 overs, falling short by 23 runs. With this victory, the Karachi Kings sealed their place in the playoffs. (With additional input from APP)
