Humayun blasts century

A belligerent knock of 139 by Humayun Farhat, who overshadowed Usman Tariq in the opening stand of 244, helped Allied Bank Limited (ABL) trounce Service Industries by 10 wickets in the Pool 'C' fixture of NBP One-day Patron's Cup at Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday.

Humayun faced just 63 deliveries and hammered 19 fours and as many as six sixes in taking ABl to victory in only 20 overs. Usman, in contrast, struck eight boundaries in his 69-ball 72.
