The PSL 2022 match between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United witnessed some incredible action both on and off the field. A brilliant hundred from Harry Brook in mere 41-balls, and Fakhar Zaman's amazing 51-run knock of 41 balls, rescued Lahore Qalandars, who were once sinking after losing three early wickets in the powerplay with score reading 13/3 in 3 overs.
While opening, Fakhar held his ground till he got solid assistance from all-rounder Harry Brook, who went blistering all around the park. The duo notched up a tremendous 101-run partnership and launched a counter-attack on fiery Islamabad bowling attack.
Islamabad's disciplined bowling was challenged by unbeaten Harry Brooks, whose hundred turned the game towards Shaheen Afridi-led side. Both the batters played cracking shots but the best moment of the day came from the stands.
As the match had a lot to hook fans to the ground drama, the presence of US Consultant General William Makaneole in the ground also grabbed a lot of attention as well. Makaneole, who had the company of PCB Chief Ramiz Raja, enjoyed the superb batting display from both the batters.
The Consul General (in Lahore) celebrated the boundaries and sixes in his own style. He was captured doing push ups every now and then. One of the clips, when Fakhar hit a six off de Lange, was shared by Ramiz Raja where Makaneole can be seen mesmerizing everyone with his hilarious yet brilliant antics.

Even Ramiz Raja had a great time during the match as he was seen sharing high-fives with US General, who was wearing Lahore Qalandars' jersey. Reflecting on the match, Islamabad United could never recover from the Qalandars' onslaught as they eventually fell short of the target by 66 runs, handing their opponents a big win.
