Defending champions Pakistan gave their best-ever performance in a blind cricket match setting five world records during their 10-wicket victory over New Zealand in their second match of the Cricket World Cup for the Blind here at the F-9 Park on Friday.
Pakistani bowlers didn’t allow New Zealand batsmen to settle at any stage of their innings and the Kiwis could just manage 21 runs which was a world record for the lowest team total in blind cricket matches.
The hosts didn’t have any problem in reaching the target and they did so in just seven deliveries. The team duration of this match was the shortest ever in blind cricketing history - another world record.
Aamir Ashfaq captured five wickets giving away just four runs - another new record for best bowling. Six Kiwi batsmen were dismissed through catches which surpassed the previous record thus creating another new record.
Pakistani fielder Tariq Samuel held three catches during the match to set a new world record. Aamir Ashfaq, for his brilliant bowling performance, won the man-of-the-match award.
**1st Record: Lowest Total 21 against Pakistan.
2nd Record: Best Bowling Perfomance ever by Aamir 5 wks giving 4 runs.
3rd Record: Most Catches in Inning 3 by Tariq.
4th Record: Six Kiwi batsmen were dismissed through catches its another new record.
5th Record: Pakistan Chase the Target in 7 Balls.**
