Muhammad Zeeshan, the Pakistani young bowler, has become a social media sensation following his remarkable performance in the U19 Asia Cup 2023 match against India.
The 17-year-old pacer, standing at six-foot-eight, showcased exceptional bowling skills, claiming four key wickets in the match.
Zeeshan’s bowling was a significant factor in the high-pressure game, especially with his dismissal of India’s No.3, Rudra Mayur Patel. His delivery coaxed Patel into an error, leading to a catch by the keeper.
Zeeshan’s celebration was marked by a loud yell of joy, a memorable moment in the match, as he relished the dismissal of the Indian batsman. He further cemented his impact by claiming the wickets of Musheer Khan, Sachin Dhas, and Raj Limbani.
Pakistan U19’s victory was bolstered by an undefeated century from Azan Awais, which led the team to an eight-wicket triumph over India.
Azan’s performance, along with a strong 110-run partnership with Shahzaib Khan and a subsequent collaboration with captain Saad Baig, kept Pakistan in a commanding position throughout the chase. Azan’s centurion effort earned him the player of the match award, highlighting his significant contribution to the team’s success.
The Pakistan U19 team, riding high on this victory, is set to face Afghanistan in their next match, hoping to continue their strong showing in the tournament. Muhammad Zeeshan’s impressive performance against India and Azan Awais’s batting prowess set a positive tone for the team’s upcoming encounters.
