When you score Pakistan's fastest men's ODI World Cup century 🔥

Fakhar Zaman has put on a clinic in Bengaluru 🙌

APPRECIATION POST FOR BABAR AZAM

Babar was grilled for his decision to bowl first on a batting paradise. He was crucified for not rotating his bowlers and to play 4 fast bowlers instead of 3 pacers and 2 spinners.

When Babar came in to bat, he was criticised for playing a bit too slowly and not carrying the same momentum as Fakhar was.

However, little did they know that had Babar gotten out, Pakistan would have lost the match on DLS. With his presence on the field with Fakhar, he gave the freedom to Fakhar to play as freely as possible. Moreover, he also rotated to give Fakhar as much strike as possible.

Kudos to Babar, Fakhar, Wasim and Pakistan on scripting an incredible, impeccable and improbable victory against New Zealand in a do-or-die encounter.

Former star speedster Shoaib Akhtar thinks that India won't be an easy opponent for Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, scheduled in October-November this year in Australia.

Speaking in his latest interview, Akhtar said Pakistan will be under pressure as Indians will plan strongly this time around following their humiliating 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Green Shirts in T20 World Cup 2021.

"India will come up with proper planning this time around. It will not be easy for Pakistan to beat India in T20 WC this time," the former Test cricketer said.

"Predicting match results now is quite difficult but Pakistan should bowl second as pitch in Melbourne offers bounce to fast bowlers," he added.

Akhtar also predicted that Pakistan vs India this year will be attended by a record crowd, around 150,000 fans.

"I believe the crowd will be bigger this time. Around 150,000 fans will watch the match line in Melbourne. Out of which, 70,000 will be Indian supporters," he said.

Pakistan and India will take on each other in a high-anticipated T20 WC game on October 23.

Last time when the two teams met in the mega event, Pakistan beat their arch-rivals by 10 wickets. It was their first-ever win over India in an ICC World Cup event.

A customer has taken legal action against Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) over the alleged unfulfillment of a warranty claim.

According to details, a customer who bought a Suzuki Alto VXL AGS from a dealership in Faisalabad discovered a critical fault in his car shortly after buying it. A legal document available with the source reads:

"After approximately 4 months’ time, the vehicle has been found defective due to mechanical issues. My client has been confronting problem in gear shifting that also causes large amount of oil consumption and vibration to entire vehicle. As the problem persisted, my client rushed to nearby authorised Suzuki workshop in Jhang. The workshop personnel told my client that a gear needed to be replaced and for that seven hundred thousand rupees (Rs.700,000) would be charged. My client provided warranty card, however, the workshop personnel denied entertaining that warranty claim. Otherwise, page 2 of the warranty book clearly mentions for a claim of warranty if a vehicle has not been driven for more than sixty thousand kilometres (60,000 km) from the date of invoice. My client’s vehicle is only driven to thirteen thousand kilometre (13,000 km) till 19 December 2021."

However, the dealership refused to entertain his warranty claim, the plaintiff said. He further alleged that the dealership CEO instead tried to force him to drop his legal action, telling him that his notice is inconsequential.
