Today was an interesting match between Eagles and Defenders. honestly, Eagles started well and looked dangerous. Muslim Musa scored a well deserved half-century, so at that moment I thought, Eagles were easily going to posted 180 plus runs on the board. But Ahmadzai bowled a superb spell, picking 5 important wickets for only 19 runs, Shamshad collapsed from a strong position to all out 154 in less than 16 overs. This is the turning point of the match one bowler changed the match position in no time
I think chasing a total of 155 was not easy for the defenders, because Mohammad Gul and Izharulhaq Naveed bowled really well at the start. But Mohammad Akram played an aggressive inning of 25 runs, which assisted a lot in keeping the required rate down. Waleed Miakhil remained unbeaten after adding crucial 37 runs and assisted the team to win the match quite easily.
Kabul Premier League just started and its not a kind of start Shamshad Eagles wanted, they have played two matches so far and lost both. The second match of Shamshad Eagles was against Abasin Defenders and its second consecutive win for Abasin Defenders in the tournament.
Mohammad Shahzad Mohammadi is captain of Eagles and he has rich experience of playing international cricket. The only reason Shamshad Eagles were able to score 154 runs are the half centuries of there Captain Muhammad Shahzad and Muslim Musa, no other batter was able to score runs. If Eagles continue batting like that in upcoming matches then they won't be able to qualify for the next round.
