Cricket: Dar shines in SNGPL’s win

KARACHI: Raza Ali Dar’s brilliant all-round show helped SNGPL to a four-wicket win against Peshawar in their National One-Day Cup Division-II Group A match at the Arbab Niaz Stadium yesterday. Put in to bat, Peshawar were bowled out for 179 in the 48th over. Muhammad Rizwan top-scored with 65 off 101 balls, while pacer Imran Ali bagged four wickets and Dar claimed three scalps. In reply, SNGPL reached the target for the loss of six wickets with three overs to spare following responsible batting by their lower-order. Usman Arshad was the top scorer with 70 runs but Yasir Shah’s 46-run knock and Dar’s contribution of 36 were equally important.
