ISLAMABAD: Usama Mir returned with a record haul of 6 for 8 as Sialkot thrashed Lahore Blues by 110 runs in the ABS Developers National T20 Cup 2026, underway at the Imran Khan Stadium, Peshawar.
Leg spinner Usama, who has been sidelined by national selectors, was impressive with his leg spin and wrong ones as he ripped apart Lahore Blues, bowling them out for just 100 in pursuit of a 211-run victory target.
He was almost unplayable for Lahore Blues batsmen. Abdullah Shafique (57), Ahsan Hafeez Bhatti (47 not out) and Hasan Nawaz (41) played well for Sialkot, with Mohammad Rizwan (2-26) being the pick of the bowlers.
When it came to batting, Hamza Zahoor, 37, and Umar Siddiq 31 played well for Lahore Blues. Match 11: Sialkot Region beat Lahore Region Blues by 110 runs at Imran Khan Cricket Stadium, Peshawar
