A Pakistan's domestic team created a world record of defending the lowest target in all first-class cricket when they stopped the opposition in a chase of just 40 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan Television (PTV), defending champions in the President Trophy, shot Sui Northern Gas (SNGPL) for a paltry 37 to win the match by a mere two runs on day three of the four-day game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This becomes a new record in 253 years of first-class cricket, beating England's Oldfield's 1794 feat when they successfully defended 41 against MCC at the Lord's Old Ground to win by six runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
PTV's head coach Mohammad Waseem praised his team's historic effort.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I am delighted with my team's world record effort," Waseem, a former Pakistan player, told AFP. "My team's motto is to never give up, fight till the last ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"This is the not the first time, we have won all our three matches coming from well behind by remaining positive in all situations."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The star-studded SNGPL batting led by Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood were bowled out in 19.4 overs with just one batter Saifullah Bangash crossing double figures with 14.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Masood was out without scoring while Test players, Mohammad Ali made six and spinner Sajid Khan just three.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan's international players Omair Bin Yousuf made six and Abdul Samad five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For the winners, left-arm spinner Ali Usman wrecked the batting with 6-9 and pacer Ammad Butt took 4-28 - the only two bowlers used in their second innings innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
SNGPL's head coach is former Pakistan Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq with another former captain Azhar Ali their batting coach.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2026\/01\/pakistan-232-year1.jpg", "alt_img": "Pakistan Team Creates World Record For Lowest Target Defended In First-Class Cricket", "alt_title": "Pakistan Team Creates World Record For Lowest Target Defended In First-Class Cricket", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Pakistan Team Creates World Record For Lowest Target Defended In First-Class Cricket On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "A Pakistan's domestic team created a world record of defending the lowest target in all first-class cricket when they stopped, Pakistan Team Creates World Record For Lowest Target Defended In First-Class Cricket.", "seo_keywords": "Pakistan Cricket, Pakistan Television ,PTV, President Trophy, Sui Northern Gas", "tag": null, "tagging": "Pakistan Cricket,Pakistan Television,President Trophy,Sui Northern Gas,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "pakistan-team-creates-world-record-for-lowest-target-defended-in-first-class-cricket", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "515", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2026-01-17 21:20:17", "updated": "2026-01-17 21:20:17", "img_from": "Image Source: X.Com (Twitter)", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Pakistan Cricket, Pakistan Television ,PTV, President Trophy, Sui Northern Gas", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "1", "posted_by": "13", "jio_date": "2026-01-17 21:20:17", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/pakistan-team-creates-world-record-for-lowest-target-defended-in-first-class-cricket-186283" }
