Lahore Lions v Peshawar Panthers - Faysal Bank Super Eight T-20 Cup – Match Update
Lahore Lions 113 v Peshawar Panthers 79 - Lahore Lions won by 34 runs
On Tuesday, March 27, 2012, Pakistan’s cricketing superstars like the Akmal brothers, Abdul Razzaq, Wahab Riaz and Umar Gul gave spectators at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium a stupendous show as Lahore Lions went up against Umar Gul’s Peshawar Panthers in the
Faysal Bank Super Eight T-20 Cup fixture.
Lahore, who carried the star power, chose to bat first after they won the toss in order to take the upper hand by posting a staunch total on the board.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kamran-Akmal-c70122 without letting the batsmen trouble the scorers.
With the top three batsmen back in the dressing room without scoring, Lahore were put under pressure early on. But the middle-order led by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 launched resurgence as Lahore’s young guns hammered the bowlers in a bid to keep the scoreboard moving.
However, after the middle-order, the lower order faltered as they succumbed in front of the belligerent bowling attack from Peshawar.
At the end of the Lahore innings, Gul and Ahmed both shared three wickets for Peshawar, leaving the batting side in complete disarray.
Dismissing a strong batting line on a tally of 113 in 20 overs was a job well done from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832 and it was now upon the batsmen to show their mettle after their bowlers had proved their worth in the competition.
Peshawar gave their side a steady start as openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chaudhri-Iftikhar-Ahmed-c50530 belted ten runs together, before the partnership came to an end in the fourth over.
Then with 26 runs on the board, the side suffered the loss of another wicket when Mohmand perished after playing an innings of 14 runs.
While, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adnan-Rasool-c42062 shared three wickets as they made life extremely difficult for the batting side.
Consequently, Peshawar crumbled after posting 79 runs in 19.3 overs, failing to chase a gettable total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 (Lahore Lions) were named as the Players of the Match.
