Laurie Evens spoils the party of Paktia as Kabul wins

It wasn’t an easy task for Kabul Zwanan to chase 218, but they did and beat Paktia Panthers by 3 wickets in the first match of Gulbahar Afghanistan Premier League.

Laurie Evans was the key to Kabul’s victory as he scored 79 match winning runs. Hazratullah Zazai contributed 27 runs and other batsmen also contributed around him.

Bowling department of Paktia Panthers was being blamed of their loss, but it wasn’t the case as the pitch wasn’t helping any bowler and it was a brilliant T20 wicket which helped batsmen to go and play their shots.

Here what Twitter reacts in the first game:

Had my first look at Laurie Evans – what an innings from him today for Kabul Zwanan. Calm in the run-chase and measured in picking balls to go big! Well played! #APLT20
