AGA Khan SC cricketers have bolstered their campaign in the 2025 Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA) DC Super League, walloping Pak Stars A by six wickets in Dar es Salaam recently.

Pak Stars A went in to bat first in the game held at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) venue and the move seemingly backfired, as the cricketers were bowled out for 99 runs in 31.5 overs.

In what was a seemingly woeful innings, team captain Kashif Adnan- who posted 22 runs- was the batsman with the most runs for the batting team.

A short stay by opener Mohamed Omary, who ended with just six runs, seemed to have rattled the batting team early on, given the squad could not bounce back.

The other opener, Ivan Ismail, battled to wade off Aga Khan SC's bowling charge for several overs, making his way back with 21 runs.

Hassan Raza (10 runs) and Ayaz Mustafa (10 runs) were also the cricketers with two digits for Pak Stars A.

Aga Khan SC's Sivaraj Selvaraj successfully led his squad's bowling attack, ending with the best bowling figures of 5-19 and a 1.93 economy rate.

The cricketer's scintillating bowling was instrumental in his club's plan to keep Pak Stars A's batting unit in check.

Dhyey Shah, who garnered 2-14, and Laksh Snehal, who ended with 2-27, compounded Pak Stars A's batting misery.

Aga Khan SC, chasing an achievable target of 100 runs from 50 overs, confidently coasted to the victory- losing four wickets.

Promising batsman Arshaan Jassani led the batting side to the successful pursuit of the win with his 32 runs.

Opener Dhrumit Mehta early on had Aga Khan SC getting off solidly, grabbing 27 runs.

Even though Pak Stars A performers - Mohammad Ali, who took 2-6, and Muhammad Mudasser, who grabbed 2-8, fought vigorously to boost the team's efforts to frustrate the opponents' chase- the latter's resolve did not wane.

Aga Khan SC's Selvaraj rightfully garnered the Player of the Match prize for his stellar all-round game, finishing with 5-19 and 18 runs not out to play a pivotal role in his squad's success.
