RAWALPINDI – Fast bowlers Kashif Ali and Khurram Shahzad shared nine wickets among them as Pakistan Shaheens bowled out Sri Lanka ‘A’ for 115 on opening day of the first four-dayer at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday.

At the close of play Pakistan Shaheens trailed by 49 runs as they had posted 66-2 on the board in 24 overs.

Only 57.1 overs of play was possible on day one as the stumps were drawn early due to bad light.

Earlier, after the hosts put visiting team to bat first, Kashif ran through the Sri Lanka ‘A’ batting line-up with figures of 5-31 in 12 overs while he was assisted by Khurram who dismissed four batters for 32 runs in 10.1 overs.

After Sri Lanka ‘A’ were reduced to 14-4, skipper Pasindu Sooriyabandara (28, 40b, 1×4) and top-scorer Sonal Dinusha (30, 66b, 2x4s) stitched a 51-run fifth-wicket stand before Hussain Talat struck to remove the former. At lunch break, Sri Lanka ‘A’ were 90-6 before losing their next four wickets for 25 runs.

In turn, Pakistan Shaheens lost their skipper, Mohammad Huraira, in the seventh over to Vishwa Fernando. Opening batter, Abdul Faseeh (26, 60b, 2x4s) fell to Wanuja Sahan in the 20th over after putting on a 34-run second-wicket stand with Ali Zaryab.

Ali (18) and Mohammad Suleman (11) will resume batting on day two.
