Umar Akmal Maiden ODI Century: Celebration Footage

by Owais Ehsan on August 7, 2009

Umar Akmal smashed his maiden ODI century for Pakistan as he amassed 102 in only 72 balls. With powerhouses of Pakistani middle order Yousaf, Misbah and Malik having all sorts of problems against decent Srilankan bowling, Akmal just make them look very ordinary. In his past two matches he has played the two best spinners in cricket (Murli and Mendis) with utmost ease.

You can argue the pressure of winning the series wasn’t there, but maiden ODI centuries don’t come cleaner than this. Walking to the crease with Pakistan 130 for 4, with a struggling captain searching for a partner and only Shahid Afridi to follow, young Umar Akmal took the opportunity to prove that not all is as made to believe about Pakistan’s domestic set-up with an amazing 72-ball 102.

Pro-pakistan brings you the video century celebration of this great future prospoect for Pakistan.
