NEW DELHI: Imam-ul-Haq appeared to lose his composure following his dismissal in Match 5 of Pakistan’s Champions One Day Cup 2024. The left-handed batter Iman while playing for Lions scored an impressive 62-ball 60 including five fours and two sixes against Panthers.
Imam, who was recently a consistent presence in Pakistan’s ODI and Test squads, was visibly upset after being dismissed caught behind off the bowling of spinner Shadab Khan.

In a display of anger and disappointment, Imam hurled his helmet and bat before taking a seat, clearly frustrated by his dismissal.
The event unfolded following the first delivery of the 23rd over during the Lions’ batting stint. Shadab, who captains the Panthers, decided to bring himself on to bowl and made an instant impact.

Imam edged the ball, which carried through to Usman Khan behind the stumps. Upon claiming the wicket, Shadab erupted in passionate celebration, clearly overjoyed with his immediate success.
Panthers managed to put up a formidable total of 283 runs on the scoreboard. In response, the Lions struggled to find their footing and were ultimately dismissed for a mere 199 runs, falling short of their target by a significant margin of 84 runs.
