On Tuesday, Hamza Saleem Dar established a raging new record in the history of cricket when he hit 193 runs off 43 balls. In the European Cricket T10 match between Catalunya Jaguar and Sohal Hospitaltet, when the former won by 153 runs, this extraordinary knock was played. With 22 sixes and 14 boundaries, Hamza’s undefeated 193 is now the best individual total in T10 cricket ever, breaking the previous mark of 163 runs.
Catalunya Jaguar chose to bat first and in just 10 overs amassed a total of 257/0. Hamza amassed an incredible 193* for the Jaguars off of just 43 balls. Yasir Ali got 58* off just 19 balls, apart from him.
Subsequently, in 10 overs, the Jaguars held Sohal Hospitaltet to 104/8. Raja Shahzad, who scored 25 runs off of 10 balls, was the Hospitaltet’s top scorer. Aamir Siddique scored 16 off 9 balls, and Qamar Shahzad scored 22 off 13 balls in addition to him.
Hamza was brilliant for the Jaguars again, but this time he was picking up wickets with the ball, taking three in all. Other than him, MD Umar Waqas, Ameer Hamzah, Farrukh Sohail, and Faisal Sarfaraz also claimed one wicket apiece.
The Jaguars carried on their winning streak by defeating Bengali CC in their previous ECS Spain T10 game on Thursday.
On the other hand, Sohal Hospitaltet’s next game is scheduled for Friday against Bengali CC.
