The Independence Day T20 Cricket Match between the honorable army of Pakistan and our national cricket team at the GHQ stadium, Rawalpindi was surely the best part of 14th August this year. Expressing solidarity with the lost heroes of the nation, the match was opened by Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif who was the chief guest of the occasion.

The top highlight of the whole T20 was General Raheel Sharif inaugurating the friendly T20 by hitting a phenomenal four, bowled by Afridi with Major General Asim Bajwa as the wicket keeper of the delivery.

The national squad won the toss and decided to bat, allotting the Pakistan army a target of 104 runs. The army effortlessly succeeded in achieving the mark and won the charity match by six wickets. Lala aka Afridi who reaped 44 runs with 4 sixes and 2 fours to his name was declared the Man of the Match.
