A vital unbeaten partnership between Faisalabad Wolves skipper Misbah-ul-Haq and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832
Panthers, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today on December 5.
The Wolves won the toss and decided to field first, after which the bowling attack proceeded to share the spoils between themselves, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Asad-Ali-c46178, Samiullah Khan, and Khurram Shehzad all picking up one wicket each.
The Panthers’ opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nawaz-Ahmed-c78941 (13) teamed up for a 35-run partnership. Nawaz Ahmed was eventually run-out by Imran Khalid, and
by the time Israrullah followed him back to the pavilion in the 14th over, caught and bowled by Khurram Shehzad, the team total had reached 81.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zohaib-Khan-c98638 (22*), managed to get the Panthers up to a final score of 135 by the end of 20 overs, at the expense of 4 wickets.
The Panthers’ Mohammad Aslam and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Akbar-Badshah-c42517 picked up early wickets which appeared to put the Wolves at a disadvantage – however, as the match progressed the Panthers’ aggressive edge was blunted considerably, and the team eventually lost their
control over the opposition’s batsmen.
The Wolves’ top-order put up a mediocre performance, with Farrukh Shehzad (10), Ali Waqas (29), and Khurram Shehzad (18) all managing average outings. Shehzad was stumped by Gauhar Ali off Mohammad Aslam in the fourth over, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ali-Waqas-c43621 was dismissed by Akbar
Badshah, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Aslam-c76772, leaving the Wolves at a wobbly 66 for 3 by the 11th over.
However, skipper and Player of the Match http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 took charge of the chase, and top-scored with an unbeaten 43. He was joined by Imran Khalid (36*) for a steady 71*-run partnership for the fourth wicket, which saw the Wolves home safe, enabling them
to reach 137, with 7 wickets still in hand, and 10 balls remaining.
