Mohammad Hurraira and Omair Bin Yousuf partnered strongly as Pakistan Shaheens scored 352-2 on day 1 of the first four-dayer against Zimbabwe A.
Put into bat first, Shaheens was led from the front by Hurraira and Omair. They helped Shaheens take a strong grip on the match.
In the second over, the home side got the prize scalp of Shaheens' captain Imran Butt (three runs off seven balls), who was caught in the slips off Faraz Akram with three runs on the board.
Right-handed batter Huraira was joined by Omair and the pair never allowed Zimbabwe A bowlers to settle down. The duo sent the bowlers on a leather hunt with Kaia forced to try eight bowlers including himself in an attempt to break the partnership. Huraira and Omair not only brought their centuries, but also kept the run-rate over five.
The pair knitted a 339-run partnership that lasted 64.2 overs for the second wicket as Huraira got out just seven overs before stumps. He scored 178 off 188 deliveries smashing 14 fours and six sixes.
At stumps, Omair returned undefeated on 161 off 232 balls, hitting 16 fours and one six.
