Bahawalpur Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Bahawalpur are a Pakistan Cricket Board regional representative team, not a privately owned franchise. The region covers Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Layyah, Muzaffargarh, Pakpattan, Rahim Yar Khan and Rajanpur in PCB's pathway structure.

The side reached the 2026 National T20 Cup Super 10 by topping Qualifier Pool B with three wins from four group matches. They then beat Karachi Blues by 59 runs in the qualifier final after captain Muhammad Imran made 80 from 37 balls.

In the Super 10, Bahawalpur lost to Karachi Whites and Faisalabad, chased 197 to beat Lahore Whites, and shared the points with Peshawar after rain prevented play. Their one-win, two-loss and one-no-result record produced three points and fourth place in Group A.

No. Bahawalpur won the separate qualifying tournament, which earned entry to the ten-team main event. They then finished fourth in Super 10 Group A and did not reach the National T20 Cup semi-finals.

The qualifier title is a genuine honour, but it is not the main cup title. This page keeps `Qualifier winners` and `Super 10 fourth place` as two linked stages instead of presenting one combined championship claim.

PCB issued separate 15-player lists for the February qualifier and March main event. The Super 10 group retained the captain and core but added designated guest and under-21 players, so the later list is used for the main-event squad table.

A player's appearance in either phase is still established by its scorecards. Registration for the March squad does not automatically add February qualifier matches, and the earlier list does not prove main-event selection.

They came from separate PCB tournament records with different fields and competitive stages. Combining them would make leader totals impossible to compare with teams that entered the Super 10 directly.

Muhammad Imran's 121 qualifier runs and Saad Khan's 89 Super 10 runs therefore stay in separate cards. The same boundary applies to Junaid and Azab's nine qualifier wickets versus Mohammad Basit's four in the main event.

Rain shortened Karachi Whites' chase and the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method set the result from the revised match situation. Karachi reached 78/0 in nine overs and won by 12 runs under DLS, so 185 was not defended across a normal 20-over second innings.

Comparing 185 directly with 78 is misleading because DLS evaluates resources—overs and wickets remaining—after an interruption. The result is kept as a loss with the DLS label, not as an incomplete or no-result match.

Bahawalpur finally converted a high chase through two 65s with different roles: Saad Khan attacked at a 203-plus strike rate and Haider Ali stayed unbeaten to finish the chase at 198/6 with two balls left.

The advanced lesson is partnership function rather than just equal scores. Saad supplied acceleration, while Haider preserved the chase through the closing phase; that combination produced Bahawalpur's only Super 10 win after two unsuccessful games.
