Ayaz Tasawar of Wapda, Shamyl Husain of PTV, and Muhammad Mohsin Khan of HEC are the three top-scorers in the recently-concluded President's Trophy season 2024/25. Taswar (867 from 15 innings), Shamyl (663 from 12 innings) and Mohsin (653 from 16 innings) dominate the runs table.
On the Strike Rate table, of the three, Shamyl stands as number one with 72.94, way ahead of Taswar 58.46 and Mohsin 68.95.
Significantly, Ayaz's heroics couldn't bring Wapda up in the final rankings nor could Mohsin save HEC from being demoted to grade II on account being at the bottom of the rankings.
Shamyl's double hundred (229 on 274 balls, 29x4s, 4x6s, the fastest of the tournament's total four) against Ghani Glass and his audacious 137-ball 143 not out (14x4s, 4x6s) against Eshaal Asst got PTV two crucial victories to make it to the number one slot, jumping over heavy hitters like SNGPL, Ghani Glass, OGDCL.
PTV had no media hyped names and except for one match where Imam ul Haq made appearance with a significant hundred, all of their known stars like Fakhar Zaman, Fahim Ashraf were away for the Champion's Trophy leaving it to the young shoulders to carry the burden.
PTVs Muhammad Taha (5th in the national ranking for the tournament) Muhammad Shahzad (8th on the table), and Waqar Hussain (9th in the list) all played remarkable cricket to keep their team ahead of the rest. Shamyl, the youngest of the lot, topscored for the team in 4 out of the 7 matches he featured.
Shamyl's 86 fours and 10 sixes put him way ahead of the senior players in terms of stroke-play capabilities. PTV's Muhammad Shahzad lead the table of maximums (16) and along with his mates (Taimur, Taha and Shamyl) share the honour of hitting the largest number of boundaries (4x6) in the tournament.
The final of this prestigious tournament is set for the next week in Rawalpindi between table topper PTV and its next rival, SBP. It is likely to be a four-night, pink ball game.
