Pakistan has secured a spot in the semifinals of the Hong Kong International Sixes 2025, delivering a mix of power-hitting and tactical cricket.
In this short-format tournament, known for its fast pace and exciting matches, Pakistan’s performance has been remarkable. The team has produced clutch wins and standout individual performances.
The path to the final four was cemented with a dominating victory over South Africa. Pakistan chased a target of 103 runs in just 3.5 overs, winning by five wickets. Abdul Samad led the charge, scoring 50 runs off only 10 balls, including eight sixes. Mohammad Abbas also contributed crucially, hitting 12 runs off just two balls to guide his team to victory.
Earlier, Muhammad Shahzad had limited South Africa to a modest total, taking three wickets for just 11 runs in his over. This combined effort showcased Pakistan’s balance of batting and bowling strength in the Hong Kong tournament.
Pakistan will now face Australia in the semifinals. So far, Pakistan has lost only one match, against India. India, meanwhile, failed to qualify for either the Plate or Cup competitions after defeats to Kuwait and UAE.
The team will focus on its own game plan ahead of the semifinal. With a blend of youth and experience, Pakistan’s squad is well-suited for the bold, fast-paced format of the tournament. Fans back home see this semifinal qualification as a testament to Pakistan’s enduring skill and flair in limited-overs cricket.
With the final within reach, Pakistan now aims to turn a strong campaign into a historic victory. Their performance in the Hong Kong International Sixes has proven that in a tournament designed for spectacle, Pakistan can deliver both excitement and substance.
