His unbeaten 137 against Karachi Blues follows a double century performance in the President's Trophy. Although he could not replicate this success in the second innings, his current form remains a significant highlight for domestic selectors. ## FATA and Peshawar Draw The contest between FATA and Peshawar Blues ended in a hard-fought draw. Mohammad Rizwan contributed 81 runs in the second innings to set a 333-run target for FATA.

He claimed a total of six wickets across both innings, including a 4-98 performance in the second. Additionally, he provided a useful contribution with the bat, scoring 33 runs off 37 deliveries in the first innings to bolster FATA's overall team effort. ## Rain Halts Islamabad Victory Islamabad was on the verge of defeating Lahore Whites, needing only three wickets when heavy rain forced a draw.

His century, reached in 58 deliveries, stands as the joint fifth-fastest first-class century by a Pakistani batter. This marks his third century in four innings, highlighting his exceptional scoring rate and current dominance in the domestic circuit. ## Sialkot Blues Secure Win Sialkot Blues successfully chased down a target of 187 in just 21.3 overs to defeat Faisalabad by five wickets. Abdullah Shafique, recently omitted from the Test squad, played a crucial role with a first-innings century. This victory was built on a solid 94-run lead established during the early stages of the match. ## Domestic Cricket Talent Depth The second round of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy highlights the depth of talent within Pakistan's domestic structure.
