Ali Azmat (born 1 January 1979) is a Pakistani former cricketer. Azmat was a left-handed batsman who bowled slow left-arm orthodox. He was born in Lahore, Punjab.[1][2]
Azmat made his first-class debut for Lahore Whites against Multan in the 2004–05 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[3] He made his List A debut for Lahore Eagles against Multan Tigers in January 2005, and his Twenty20 debut for the Eagles against Sialkot Stallions in April 2005.[3] He later played first-class cricket for Lahore Ravi and Water and Power Development Authority, before returning to Lahore Whites for the final matches of his senior career in 2016.[1][3]
In January 2007, Azmat made 92 not out for Lahore Ravi against Quetta in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, sharing a sixth-wicket partnership of 111 with Adnan Akmal.[4] After moving to WAPDA, he became a regular middle-order batsman for the department. In December 2009, he and Bilal Khilji added an unbroken 219 for the sixth wicket against Pakistan Customs, with Azmat finishing unbeaten on 88.[5] The following season, he scored 79 against Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited as WAPDA pressed for a place in the Division One final.[6]
Azmat's most notable first-class performance came in October 2011, when he scored a century in each innings against Sialkot in the 2011–12 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. He made 101 in the first innings and followed it with an unbeaten 106 as WAPDA won by five wickets.[7][8] In the same season, he scored another century, alongside Zulfiqar Babar's 81, as WAPDA took a substantial first-innings lead against Rawalpindi.[9] Late in his career, playing for Lahore Whites in the 2016–17 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, he scored 56 in the second innings against Karachi Whites.[10]
Overall, Azmat played in 66 first-class matches in which he has scored 3,389 runs at a batting average of 38.95, making 17 half-centuries and 7 centuries.[1]
