The Champions Trophy will be played in Pakistan and UAE soon. Before this, the International League T20 is being played in UAE. In one of the matches, Pakistan's star batsman Fakhar Zaman batted brilliantly and led his team to victory. Playing for Desert Vipers, Fakhar scored a quick half-century and played an important role in his team's victory. Fakhar scored 67 runs in 52 balls with the help of 4 sixes and 5 fours. Sherfane Rutherford completed the remaining work. He eventually scored runs at a strike rate of around 300.

Fakhar Zaman hit a brilliant fifty

The match between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers was played on 16 January at Dubai International Stadium. Batting first in this match, MI Emirates scored 159 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Kieron Pollard scored the highest 36 runs and Kusal Perera scored 33 runs. Lockie Ferguson took two wickets for Vipers. Whereas Wanindu Hasaranga, Dan Lawrence and David Payne took one wicket each.


In response to the target of 160 runs, Fakhar Zaman and Alex Hales gave Desert Vipers a good start. There was a partnership of 62 runs for the first wicket between the two. Dan Lawrence was out on a score of 69 runs and Azam Khan was out on a score of 71 runs. However, Fakhar held one end. After taking the team close to winning the match, Zaman was out on a score of 136 runs. In the end, Sherfane Rutherford scored 21 runs in 8 balls and put the match in his team's bag. Vipers got a great victory on the first ball of the last over.

Fakhar stakes claim for Champions Trophy

Let us tell you that Pakistan has not yet announced its squad for the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, Fakhar has staked his claim for the Champions Trophy. Even though the Champions Trophy is to be played in ODI format, it should not be forgotten that the Champions Trophy is to be played in Dubai and Pakistan only. The International T-20 League is going on in Dubai itself. If Fakhar is selected in the Pakistani team, then it will be a profitable deal for Pakistan.
