Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas drew level with legendary all-rounder Imran Khan’s decades old record first-class record.
Abbas, who is currently playing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (QEAT) 2024-25, registered 13th 10-wicket haul in the first class cricket, same as Imran Khan.
He achieved the milestone during Lahore Blues’ defeat against FATA Region in the fifth round of the QEAT.
The right-arm pacer bagged six wickets for just 39 runs in the first innings while, he picked four wickets for 35 runs in the second innings to round off sensational match figures of 10/74.
The second-innings exploits powered Abbas to his 13th first-class 10-wicket haul, which put him on an elusive list of Pakistani bowlers, featuring legendary figures like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan.
Abbas now sits at joint third in the list with 13 10-wicket hauls, only behind Waqar (14) and Wasim (16).
Following his record-equalling performance, Abbas has also become the second-highest leading wicket-taker of the ongoing tournament with 31 scalps at a brilliant average of 14.39 and an economy rate of just 2.35.
