Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal believes that opener Abid Ali made the country proud with his performance on the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Karachi.
Abid scored a career-best 174, which came off 281 deliveries and included 21 boundaries and a six, while Shan Masood, who opened the batting with him, made a personal best 135, which came off 198 balls and included seven boundaries and three sixes.
Abid and Masood ended up amassing a 278-run partnership, which was theΒ second-biggest opening stand for Pakistan in Test history.
Abid also became the first Pakistani player to score two centuries in his first two Tests.
