LONDON, April 28, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Imad Wasim hit an unbeaten century as
Pakistan began their tour of England with a 100-run win over Kent on
Saturday.
The all-rounder 117 not out, his career-best List A score, featured 13
fours and four sixes.
It was the cornerstone of Pakistan’s commanding 358 for seven from 50
overs at a windswept Beckenham and that proved far too much for a makeshift
Kent side.
Fakhar Zaman, a star of the Pakistan side that won the 2017 Champions
Trophy in England, made 76 and Haris Sohail 75.
Kent then collapsed to 258 all out with more than five overs remaining in
reply, left-arm spinner Imran Qayyum taking four for 45 from his maximum 10
overs.
Pakistan continue their tour with county matches against Northamptonshire
and Leicestershire on Monday and Wednesday respectively.
They then play England in a one-off Twenty20 international in Cardiff a
week on Sunday before facing the hosts of the 50-over World Cup — which
starts next month — in the first of five one-day internationals at The Oval
on May 8.
