00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to SportsZoom, I am your host, Najeeb Ul Hasanain.
00:05As you know, the first match of the series between Pakistan and Bangladesh and the second day of the game is going on.
00:12Pakistan managed to score 440-8 for 6 from a score of 16-3, where they declared.
00:21It was a great recovery and this is what we wanted from Pakistan, to dominate.
00:25Saud Shakeel and Rizwan's partnership has brought Pakistan to a great position in the Pindi Test.
00:33We will show you the details in this report.
00:35With us from Pindi is Mr. Shahid Hashmi.
00:37Mr. Shahid, Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:39Assalam-o-Alaikum.
00:40Mr. Shahid, if I say that we have reached here because of two partnerships, first of 98 and then of 240, what will you say?
00:47Absolutely, no matter how you say it, the first three players scored only 16 runs on the first three wickets.
00:55On the next three wickets, they scored 432 runs.
00:58This is the sign of big teams.
01:00In Test Cricket, this is the sign that you improve yourself session by session.
01:05If three were out on 16 runs, then Pakistan improved it.
01:08Saim played very well, he supported very well in that 98-run partnership.
01:13Then Saud Shakeel.
01:15For two or three years, it was said that Saud Shakeel will be the next best thing.
01:20Sir Faraz told me this three years ago.
01:22Sir Faraz Ahmed, who is a former captain, and his words were proved absolutely right.
01:26Sir Faraz played with Saud as well.
01:29He has an idea of how good a player he is.
01:31He is a very good player in Test Cricket.
01:33He is a very good player of four days.
01:35Saud played very well.
01:37Rizwan is such a gutsy player.
01:39He proves himself again and again.
01:42Whenever he gets a chance, whenever there is a comparison between him and Sir Faraz.
01:46Sometimes it's about why he let Rizwan play.
01:49Sometimes it's about why he let Sir Faraz play.
01:51It's a good healthy competition.
01:53Rizwan once again proved himself.
01:55Whatever chance he gets, he did a great batting.
01:58171 not out.
01:59He did his career best.
02:00He hit three sixes.
02:01He hit 11 boundaries.
02:03The way he bats, he dominates the ball.
02:06He bats very well.
02:08Absolutely right.
02:09Speaking of Rizwan, a stat will come up on your screen as well.
02:13He has played an inning of 171.
02:16He has come up in the list of top wicketkeeper batsmen in Pakistan.
02:22He has crossed Kamran Akmal.
02:24A very good performance, Mr. Shahid.
02:28Absolutely right.
02:29The last wicketkeeper who scored 150 was Kamran Akmal.
02:34Kamran was a very good batsman.
02:37Sir Faraz is also a very good batsman.
02:39He is still playing.
02:41For any team, a wicketkeeper is someone who comes in at 6th or 5th place.
02:48He sets a solid platform.
02:51He studies the struggle that is happening in the beginning.
02:55In the third session of Pakistan, we were making runs according to 5.5 and 5.6.
03:02I am very happy to see this.
03:03This is what happens in Pakistan.
03:05We don't go beyond the figure of 3.
03:09There is an Australian mentality.
03:11Curator is also Australian.
03:13Head coach, high performance coach.
03:16All of them are Australian.
03:17It will come gradually.
03:18Yesterday, we were a little slow.
03:20There was a time in between.
03:22If we had scored a little more yesterday, we could have declared Pakistan earlier.
03:27Or we could have reached 500.
03:28But it's a good total.
03:30If Pakistan wants to take the result on this pitch,
03:32then they have to take the lead of at least 180-200.
03:35Mr. Shahid, you talked about the Australian mentality.
03:38Is it seen against Bangladesh?
03:40Or will we play like this when England comes?
03:43It should be seen if it is not seen.
03:45But I see a setback that if we have to defeat England, we need a good spinner.
03:51Exactly.
03:52In fact, we need two good spinners who we don't have yet.
03:55Or we haven't groomed, or we haven't developed.
03:58And I say again and again,
03:59if Jassit wants to fade out of Pakistan, it will be a big loss.
04:03And the spinners who were playing in first-class cricket,
04:06like Tashi Bhatti, Noman Ali, Ali Usman, Muhammad Rameez,
04:11we didn't groom them properly.
04:14We are taking Abrar with us in all three formats.
04:17Today I came to know that Abrar was given a lot of thought before this match
04:23that he should be played.
04:24But in the eyes of the team management, he is still not fit to play five days of cricket.
04:29Tell me one thing,
04:30the kind of condition you are feeling right now,
04:33I feel that we will feel the lack of a spinner.
04:36We are in a strong position, but there will be a lack of a spinner.
04:39What do you say?
04:40Both teams will feel it.
04:42According to me, yesterday also I was saying that Pakistan should have given Abrar.
04:46If three fast bowlers can't do anything in between,
04:49then even the fourth fast bowler can't do anything.
04:51And one spinner is necessary anyway.
04:55According to the overhead, according to the effectivity,
04:58they have a very good spinner, Taijul Islam.
05:00And Pakistan will have a good left-arm spinner.
05:03Shakib pulls a little fast, so he got only one wicket.
05:07Taijul is a very good wicket-taking spinner.
05:10Bangladesh did not feed him.
05:12Bangladesh will also regret it.
05:14Absolutely right, Mr. Shahid.
05:16So now we will show you the fall of wickets of Pakistan.
05:19And then we will talk about it.
05:23Mr. Shahid, if Pakistan has to do well in the matches of the World Test Championship
05:29and our home matches,
05:31then there is a chance ahead.
05:33And for that, it is very important for Babar Azam to run.
05:36What will you say?
05:38Okay, there are six to seven batsmen in a team.
05:42Today I was disappointed with Salman Agha.
05:44He should have scored a big score.
05:46He had time.
05:47He needed to play fast at that time, so he got out.
05:50But Salman will have to score ahead.
05:53And he should.
05:54Babar Azam didn't do it.
05:55It's a one-off.
05:56He got out on zero on Pakistan's home grounds for the first time.
06:01His form is weakening a little.
06:05But his class is permanent.
06:06We all know that.
06:07And you will see that he will score a big score in the next test match.
06:10I hope that's the case.
06:11Because for the past two years, his performance has undergone a severe dip.
06:14He is not the kind of player who gets out of his own mistake.
06:19Most of the time, he gets out of his own mistake.
06:21In all three formats.
06:22We saw it in the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, and this test match.
06:27They will have to pay attention to this.
06:29We will also have to look at Saud Shakil.
06:31He is falling a little in the follow-through.
06:33He got out of his own run.
06:35He got stumped.
06:36If he is a good quality spinner,
06:38he will get him out of the crease and get him stumped.
06:41He scored 141 yesterday.
06:44He will have a very good batting day today.
06:45But he has to get over this hump.
06:48Okay, Mr. Shahid.
06:49One last question about this series.
06:51In fact, about this match.
06:53Where do you see Pakistan going?
06:55How soon do you have to out them?
06:57What are you looking at?
06:58What should be the strategy?
06:59Again, as I said earlier,
07:01Pakistan will have to take a lead of at least 180-200 in the first leagues.
07:05Bangladesh will have to get out soon.
07:07It is possible that tomorrow morning,
07:09there will be a little moisture in the pitch.
07:11And Pakistan will get early wickets.
07:13Pakistan's bowling is good.
07:15But Bangladesh has also prepared a lot.
07:17They have come thinking that they have to do something new.
07:20They have not won against Pakistan yet.
07:22So they will try for this.
07:24If Pakistan gets a lead of at least 180-200,
07:26then Pakistan will win the pitch.
07:28Okay, Mr. Shahid.
07:29One last question.
07:30Before that, let me tell the viewers that
07:32after the Pindi test,
07:34Pakistan has 8 matches left.
07:36And that is our cycle.
07:38In which the series of Pakistan and England is very important.
07:41Which will be in October.
07:43And the test series is going to be shown in Britain.
07:46According to the PCB sources.
07:48For this, there is a conversation with the broadcaster in Britain.
07:51And because there is a lot of Asian population in Britain.
07:55And in which Pakistani journalists are also included.
07:58And they are impatiently waiting for this series.
08:00So Mr. Shahid, tell me this.
08:02It came as a surprise that
08:04in England,
08:06no one is showing it.
08:08No broadcaster has taken this series yet.
08:10Look, there are so many leagues happening all over the world.
08:13Sky, which is their top class broadcaster.
08:17And TNT, which is their number 2 broadcaster.
08:19They are showing more leagues.
08:21If someone is showing 3 leagues in a year,
08:23then obviously he doesn't have so much money left.
08:25Then the sponsorship of the England and Wales Cricket Board
08:30for 5 years.
08:31Sky has almost 2 billion dollars.
08:35So obviously he is not able to afford so much money.
08:38That's why there is a little problem.
08:40But the hope is that Pakistan gets a broadcaster for this series.
08:43Okay, thank you very much.
08:44Mr. Abhi was with us.
08:45Let's take a break here.
08:46Don't go anywhere.
08:49Glad to have you back once again to Sportsroom.
08:51Mixed Martial Arts competition is going on in Lahore.
08:54And today is the final competition.
08:56Our representative Shahzad Malik is with us.
08:58He will update us on this issue.
09:00Shahzad, this is a great competition.
09:03This is a brave combat against Mixed Martial Arts.
09:06And Pakistan was playing very well.
09:08What is the progress?
09:09And what are the upcoming updates?
09:11Which matches are going to take place today?
09:16Shahzad, can you hear me?
09:17Yes, I can.
09:19Yes, tell me what are the updates regarding today?
09:22Yes, till now there have been 7-8 fights.
09:26And Pakistan has to face defeat in two fights.
09:31In 56.7 kg junior flyweight category,
09:35Pakistan's Yaqub Jaan Sabruvo defeated Pakistan's Harif Abdul Munan.
09:41Yaqub Jaan defeated Pakistan's Harif Abdul Munan in the third round
09:44and won the gold medal.
09:46While Pakistan's one more fighter lost in the final round.
09:49Dishan Akbar was defeated by a fighter from Kyrgyzstan in the junior flyweight category.
09:55The competition is still going on.
09:57The final matches will continue till evening.
09:59And now the big match is going to be between the women.
10:03And we have to see how the Pakistani women and Pakistani fighters perform further.
10:10What are the fights that the fans are waiting for?
10:15Which fighters are there?
10:17The fans are waiting for Bano Butt's fight.
10:22He qualified for the final by defeating an Indian fighter yesterday.
10:27The fight is going to start after a while.
10:29And the fight is going on.
10:31And Pakistan cricket team's former captain Azhar Ali is also here to watch the fight.
10:37Yes.
10:38Okay, how long will the matches go on?
10:41And in the end, what is the pricing distribution?
10:43What are the updates regarding the closing ceremony?
10:46As soon as the fight ends, there is a medal ceremony.
10:50Gold, silver and bronze medals are placed in the ring at the same time.
10:56And the medal ceremony is going on.
11:00And the fight will continue from 7 to 8.
11:05Thank you very much.
11:06We were updated about Shahzad Malik Martial Arts.
11:09Moving on.
11:10Now we will talk about Paralympics and Pakistan's Haider Ali.
11:17We will show you the details in this report.
11:19We will talk about Tarzanis.
11:21Pakistan and Bangladesh's second test match has come to an end.
11:28Pakistan declared 448 for 6.
11:32And Bangladesh is not out on 27.
11:37Pakistan is in a very strong position.
11:41Bangladesh is still trailing by 421 runs.
11:45So this is the update of the second day's match.
11:48And we were talking about Paralympics.
11:50So right now Paralympian is with us, Haider Ali.
11:53Let's talk to him.
11:54Haider, you won a gold medal in Tokyo Olympics.
11:58Now it's time for the Paralympics.
12:00What are the chances? What are the expectations?
12:04Alhamdulillah, I won a gold medal in Tokyo Paralympics.
12:08And Alhamdulillah, I am still training keeping that in mind.
12:14And Inshallah, Inshallah, with your prayers and Allah's blessings,
12:19I will defend my title and win a gold medal again for Pakistan.
12:23As far as the competition is concerned,
12:26I have seen that there are many new girls in the world ranking.
12:31So the competition is very tough.
12:33But Inshallah, I hope that Allah will definitely make me successful.
12:39You have won many medals in the past. Tell us something about that.
12:43The history of my medals starts with the 9th Pacific Games.
12:50I won a gold medal in the 9th Pacific Games.
12:52And I qualified for the Beijing Paralympics.
12:56And Alhamdulillah, I won the first silver medal in the history of Pakistan in the Beijing Paralympics.
13:03After that, in 2010, I won a gold medal in the Asian Para Games in Guangzhou.
13:08And I qualified for the London Paralympics.
13:11But before the London Paralympics, I had a hamstring pull.
13:16And because of that, I couldn't play.
13:18After that, there were some problems due to the injury.
13:21Then in 2016, I won a gold medal in the Asia and China Championships in Dubai.
13:27And I qualified for the Rio Paralympics.
13:30And Alhamdulillah, I won a bronze medal in the Rio Paralympics.
13:34And in 2018, I won a double gold medal in the Asian Para Games in Indonesia.
13:40After that, in 2019, I won a silver medal in the World Championships in Dubai.
13:46And I won a gold medal in the Grand Prix World Championships in China.
13:50And I qualified for the Tokyo Paralympics.
13:54And Alhamdulillah, I won a gold medal in the Tokyo Paralympics.
13:59And after that, in the recent Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, I won a gold medal.
14:05And I qualified for the Paris Paralympics.
14:08Did you get any acceptance after that?
14:11As I told you about my achievements,
14:14I am thankful to Allah that I have won the flag of my country many times in the world.
14:21By the grace of Allah and by your prayers.
14:23But it doesn't feel right to say that I didn't get a reward for my medal.
14:32Because in the whole world, Olympus and Paralympics are equal.
14:36The cash prize that Olympus gets, Paralympians get it.
14:39But it hasn't been easy for us in Pakistan yet.
14:42As I told you, Alhamdulillah, I have gold, silver and bronze medals from all the Olympics.
14:48But I haven't received a proper reward for it yet.
14:52So I hope that if I win a medal, my government, my institutions will support me.
15:00Haider, after Arshad's historic success, has there been a turning point for the athletes?
15:06You all know that Arshad's brother won a gold medal in the Olympics.
15:11He is the youngest player and the fastest sportsman.
15:14We can say that he is full of hope.
15:19He has done a very good job to be successful.
15:23He is an example.
15:24Just like our sports had stopped.
15:26Seeing him, many sportsmen have awakened again.
15:30They have awakened that Inshallah, we also have to work hard.
15:32And we also have to make the name of our beloved country famous all over the world.
15:36Okay, Haider Ali was with us.
15:38And our best wishes are with Haider.
15:40That's all for today's program.
15:41Give your host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain permission.
15:43Take care of yourself. Allah Hafiz.
