LAHORE
\nQuetta Gladiators\u2019 captain Sarfaraz Ahmed lauded the brilliant performance of his teammate Umar Akmal against Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) match on Saturday night.
\nGladiators won the match by 5 wickets. Akmal, who was playing his first professional T20 match after more than two years, had scored 23 off 8 deliveries, smashing three sixes to help Gladiators chase a target of 200 at Gaddafi Stadium.
\n\u201cI think Umar\u2019s knock was more important than my inning, he played brilliantly specially in his comeback match under pressure situation,\u201d Sarfaraz said.
\n\u201cIt is never easy for someone who\u2019s playing after a long time to play such flawlessly,\u201d the Gladiators\u2019 captain said while praising his teammate.
\nSarfaraz, in the match, had scored 50 off 32, smashing 2 sixes and stroking 3 boundaries. He was also adjudged the man of the match after his side won the match in a nail-biting finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
