Pak XI beat World XI in 2nd exhibition T20 match

The second exhibition Twenty20 match between International World XI and Pakistan Stars XI ended peacefully and amidst fanfare and fireworks, allowing Pakistanis to celebrate the return of international cricket to the country after nearly three-and-a-half years. A crowd of around 25,000 turned up to see Pakistan Stars XI beat the visitors by six wickets with nearly four overs to spare. But the big surprise was the appearance of disgraced wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider for the local side. World XI scored 142 in 20 overs after being put into bat. Imran Nazir and Shahzaib Hasan then entertained the crowd with an opening stand of 87. Nazir scored 53 while Hasan contributed 39 as Pakistan XI romped home in the 16th over.
