Hats off to Australia for putting up strong performances and taking the trophy once again, truly a champion team ✌️✌️

What can be better for true cricket fans than a Pakistan vs India final. It was the clash of the titans with Pakistan coming out as the victors of this contest. It was a splendid performance by the Shaheen's to post a mammoth total on the board for their Indian counterparts to chase down. From India's side as well, the batters kept going at a very good run rate despite losing some wickets. But it was the Pakistan spin twins which brought back the game in Pakistan's favor with Pakistan winning the game by 128 runs. It was an amazing bunch of performances from the Pakistan side - led by Captain Muhammad Haris. Well done Pakistan Shaheen's and onwards to new horizons 💪✌️🙌

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the thriller semi-final match of the Emerging Team's Asia Cup between Pakistan Shaheen's and Sri Lanka.

It was Arshad Iqbal's fifer which took Pakistan across the finish line and into the finals 💪. Listen on to hear us discuss the match, and the player performances.

We are back with another episode on the series against NZL. This time we're talking about the 3 match ODI series - which Pakistan ended up winning 2-1.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the 5 T20 games which happened between Pak and NZL as part of Pakistan's home series.

In this episode, we talk about the thriller of a game - that was the final of the PSL8. The perfect way to end another explosive season of the PSL. The final was played between Multan Sultans and the Lahore Qalandars - with Lahore opting to bat first, again relying on their bowling strength to help them defend the total. There were some handy innings throughout but the final blow was dealt by Shaheen Shah Afridi, accumulating a quick fire 45 at the end to propel his team to a very good fighting total. Multan were put in to chase. Things were going well for them but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. At the end, the game went on to the final over with the momentum shifting back and forth between the Sultans and the Qalandars. Multan needed 13 off the last over, where Zaman Khan was given the big responsibility of bowling the final over. And he showed class by defending the total given to him. Sultans tried their level best, but in the end, just couldn't cross the finishing line, falling short by just one run. 💔 for the Sultans. And 🎉 for the Qalandars, who won their 2nd consecutive PSL trophy. That's all from this season of the podcast, covering the PSL8. We will be back with more Pakistan cricket content in more episodes of the podcast. Stay tuned ✌️
