Batting first, Hyderabad Hawks scored 96 for the loss of 8 wickets against Sialkot Stallions in a Group C game of Faysal Bank T20 Cup today, September 26 at National Stadium, Karachi.
The Hawks’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azeem-Ghumman-c1112, won the toss and elected to bat first as he aimed at piling up a big total and then put pressure on the rivals with an offensive bowling attack.
Ghumman and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sharjeel-Khan-c89775 opened the innings for Hyderabad Hawks. The start was poor as Sharjeel fell on a duck on the very third ball of the innings. Ghumman followed the same track and lost his wicket after making just 7 runs.
These two early wickets in just three overs gave the Stallions enough confidence and they succeeded in halting the run rate.
The one-down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahzad-Haider-c89495, played very well, defying all tactics of the rival bowlers and working the scoreboard. However, he could last only till the 14th over. Playing 43 deliveries, he lashed 42 runs with the help of 6 sterling fours
and one epic six.
The fourth batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rizwan-Ahmed-c85475 was the only batsman who could reach double figures. He faced 48 balls and scored 30 runs including 1 four and 1 six.
None of the next four batters could make an impact. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nauman-Ali-c2076 was yet to open his account when the 20-over quota came to an end.
Hyderabad Hawks could only amass a meager total of 96 runs with a low run rate of 4.80 per over.
