🏏 Black Hawks Riyadh storm into Semi-Finals! 🏆

Black Hawks Riyadh have officially qualified for the semi-finals of the RCA Winter Season Tournament 2025–2026 after a thrilling victory over Kams Indopak CC.

It was a game defined by resilience and a remarkable comeback. At one stage, Kams Indopak CC looked set to post a massive total of around 220–230. However, a brilliant effort from our spin unit — Nazeer, Faheem, Asif, and Parvez — along with exceptional fielding, ensured the opposition was restricted to 200 runs. Asif Mushtaq 3/27 in 3 overs, Nazeer 2/27 in 4 overs

In response, Black Hawks Riyadh came out with an aggressive approach. The opening pair of Sajjad and skipper Rehan provided a blistering start, scoring 70+ runs in just 5 overs. Rehan Hassan contributed a quick 21 off 13 balls, including 3 fours and 1 six, before getting out in the 6th over.

Muhammad Sajjad then took control of the innings with a sensational knock of 97 off 47 balls, including 12 fours and 5 sixes. He was well supported by Nazeer Farooqui, who once again showed his experience with a superb 51 off 28 balls, including 8 fours.

Despite a few hiccups later in the innings, Nazeer ensured the team stayed on track and remained till the very end. When he got out, only 1 run was needed off 5 balls. Umar calmly finished the chase, sealing a 3-wicket victory and confirming Black Hawks Riyadh’s place in the semi-finals.
