Pakistan’s middle order batter Saud Shakeel has once again impressed the cricket fans with his blistering batting during the ICC World Cup 2023 warm-up match against New Zealand played at Hyderabad stadium on Friday.

Saud Shakeel came to the crease after Mohammad Rizwan’s departure and bolstered Pakistan’s total at the backend with a quickfire knock.

Shakeel hammered 75 off 53 balls with 4 sixes and 5 fours while his strike rate was 141.5.

Pakistan posted a massive total on the board, at the back of a sensational century by Mohammad Rizwan, followed by skipper Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel’s half-centuries.

New Zealand batters put on a scintillating show as they lifted their side to chase down a mammoth 346 against Pakistan for the loss of five wickets and 38 balls to spare.
