Dawn Imran Farhat slams unbeaten 151 for Lahore Blues
15 January 2001

Opener Imran Farhat scored his second consecutive century to help Lahore Blues reach 258 for three against Bahawalpur on the first day of the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy Cricket match at the LCCA Ground on Sunday.

Imran, who hit 170 against Sheikhupura in the last match, played with great authority and confidence to remain unbeaten with 151 off 167 deliveries. His 225-minute knock was laced with 30 fours and one six.

Test star Saeed Anwar was batting alongside Imran with four when stumps were drawn for the day.

Another Test batsman Yousuf Youhana fell cheaply for eight to Kamran Hussain.

Imran and Irfan Munawar (41) gave Lahore Blues a fine start by sharing an opening stand of 115 runs in just 89 minutes after the match started 20 minutes after lunch because of fog. Irfan hit six boundaries.

Imran and skipper Shahid Anwar (39 off 87 balls) added 123 for the second wicket in 102 minutes.
