In a dramatic turn of events during the Champions One-Day Cup 2024, Saim Ayub fell victim to Mir Hamza after attempting a flashy no-look shot that ultimately led to his dismissal. The incident took place during a high-scoring encounter between Panthers and Dolphins.
Saim Ayub gets out playing a no-look shot
Ayub, known for his aggressive batting style, was looking to accelerate the run rate when he decided to showcase his flair with a no-look shot. However, his audacious attempt backfired spectacularly as Hamza, the fast bowler, delivered a well-placed delivery that caught Ayub off guard. The ball clipped the edge of his bat and was caught in the mid-on by Muhammad Hurraira, leaving Ayub visibly disappointed as he walked back to the pavilion for 6 (12).

Panthers dominate Dolphins
Brilliant performances from Usman Khan and Mohammad Hasnain propelled Panthers to their first victory of the Champions One-Day Cup, defeating Dolphins by 50 runs.
Panthers set the stage with a strong batting display, scoring 328 runs thanks to 111-run knock from Usman and quickfire half-centuries from Haider Ali and Shadab Khan. Dolphins responded with a spirited chase, led by Qasim Akram‘s 65 and a half-century from Sahibzada Farhan. However, Hasnain’s impressive bowling performance, including a five-wicket haul, proved to be too much for the Dolphins, as they fell short of the target.
Panthers will lock horns with Lions in the fifth match on Monday (September 16), while Dolphins faces Markhors the same day in the day-night game.
