Manzoor achieved the feat in Sindh’s match against Central Punjab in the ongoing Pakistan One Day Cup. Manzoor scored 143 runs off 163 balls and carried his team to a decent total after a poor start. Sindh ultimately lost the match by 4 wickets, but they had already qualified for the semi-finals and will face Central Punjab once again on 29 January.
Manzoor has been in the domestic circuit for a long time and has been one of the top performers in domestic cricket for the past few years. Manzoor’s strong performances early in his career earned him a call-up to the international side, but he could not cement his position in the team after a string of underwhelming performances.
