A very close game today, but just wasn't meant to be in the end.

Commendable effort to fight back from 30 for 5, to a solid score of 182 in the end. Key partnership from Kashif and Orangzaib in the middle to bring us back into the match and build the foundations for a good 1st innings total, finished off by a strong 28 runs from Emaad (improvement in the batting)

Lots to learn from a batting viewpoint, though. Gave their bowler 7 wickets, who was not doing anything special with the ball. Just maintained a good line and length and waited for us to play poor shots. Will hopefully learn from this for upcoming matches.

Came out with a good attitude in the field for the 2nd innings, but leaked runs early on, and I myself could've been more proactive with bowling changes and field placement for their openers. Good learning curve for me, and one that I will look to improve upon in upcoming matches.

Excellent bowling from Manpreet, Fawad, and Shahzad (our best bowler for last season) to take key wickets in the middle and shift the momentum back to our side. But again, could have finished stronger with the fielding and death bowling to wrap this game up. Lots to learn from, but also many positives to take away from today, too.

Will look to collectively improve on certain aspects from these past 3 friendlies and prepare ourselves well for upcoming league games from next week.
