Legendary Pakistan left-arm seamer Wasim Akram has admitted that batsman Haris Sohail impressed him for the first time on Sunday.

Akram’s comments come after Haris was named Man of the Match for his 59-ball 89 in Pakistan’s World Cup clash against South Africa at Lord’s.

Pakistan won the match by 49 runs and also kept their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup semi-finals alive.

“This is the first time Haris Sohail has impressed me, especially because of the intent he showed with the bat,” Akram was quoted as saying by cricketpakistan.com.pk.

Pakistan’s next World Cup game will be against New Zealand at Edgbaston on Wednesday.
