The spell makes him one of only four bowlers with two six-wicket hauls in T20 cricket.

Overview

  • Sialkot piled up 210-4, led by Abdullah Shafique’s 31-ball 57, with Ahsan Hafeez Bhatti’s 47 not out off 17 and an unbeaten 76-run stand with Mohsin Riaz closing the innings.
  • Lahore Blues were dismissed for 100 in 14.2 overs as Mir returned 6-8 in 3.2, with only Hamza Zahoor (37) and Umar Siddiq (31) reaching double figures.
