Peshawar’s opening batter Sahibzada Farhan looked in supreme touch as he smashed a fiery ton in their National T20 Cup game against Lahore Whites on Saturday.
Set to chase a 182-run target at Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium, the right-handed batter opened the inning with Maaz Sadaqat in the third game of the National T20 Cup.
While Sadaqat played cautiously, Sahibzada Farhan looked in an aggressive mode, hitting sixes and fours all around the ground.
The Peshawar batter completed his fifty on just 29 balls, with the scoreboard showing 59/0 in 6.1 overs.
Soon after reaching his fifty, Sahibzada Farhan changed gears and took on the Lahore Whites’ bowlers.
