    Paktia beats Baghlan in inter-provincial cricket tournament



    KABUL (PAN): Paktia's cricket club marched into the semi-finals of an inter-provincial cricket tournament after defeating Baghlan in eastern Nangarhar province on Tuesday, an official said.
    The match was played in the Behsud district, a spokesman for the cricket board, Farid Hotak, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
    Baghlan won the toss and chose to bat first. The side managed 136 runs in 31 overs, with Juma Gul emerging the top scorer with 29 runs.
    For Paktia, Fazl Niazi and Rahmat Shah shared four wickets each.
    According to Hotak, Paktia chased the target in the 26th over with seven wickets in hand, setting the stage for the final against Maidan Wardak on Wednesday.
    Asfar Zazi, who scored 62 runs guided Paktia to an easy win over Baghlan. Paktia's all-rounder, Fazl Niazi, who contributed 24 runs and took four wickets, was declared the man of the match.
    Teams representing 12 provinces are taking place in the the event.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
