Pakistan TV has shattered a record that dates back to the 18th century by successfully defending a meagre target of just 40 runs in their latest win over Sui Northern in the President's Trophy. This monumental achievement eclipses the previous benchmark held by Oldfield, who successfully defended an even lower total of 41 against Marylebone Cricket Club back in August 1794.
The match was played at the National Stadium in Karachi, and the Pakistani team emerged victorious, having initially bowled out Sui Northern for a mere 37 runs. This astonishing display of bowling showcased incredible discipline from Pakistan TV's team, as they successfully defended their meagre total to secure an impressive win.
"We have won all our three matches coming from well behind by remaining positive in all situations," said Mohammad Waseem, the head coach of PTV. "Our motto is never to give up and fight till the last ball." This mantra appears to be paying off for Pakistan TV as they continue to rise through the ranks, currently sitting second in the table with Sui Northern slipping to third after four games.
The match highlights the challenges faced by teams in defending small totals, especially on deteriorating pitches. In this instance, Ali Usman and Amad Butt were instrumental in getting their team over the line, claiming 6-9 and 4-28 respectively. This victory strengthens Pakistan TV's position ahead of the President's Trophy final scheduled for February 8th to 12th.
Pakistan TV's impressive performance marks a new chapter in the team's history and cements their reputation as one of the top teams in the tournament. With their focus on teamwork, perseverance, and determination, they continue to inspire fans with their remarkable displays of cricketing prowess.
