ICL Final 2| Lahore vs Hyderabad | Panchkula | 06/04/2008

[Mercenary]

Just under 90 minutes to go before the second ICL final, this is a must win game for the Badshahs but the Heroes will be going all out to knock the Badshahs out today.

Can the Badshahs do it?

 

[Mercenary]

The Badshahs bat first, Hasan Raza is dropped and Imran Farhat is back in!

Deano asked Chris Harris if he was surprised that Raza was dropped, Harris said he was very surprised and pleased too

 

[Raz]

Inzi said he wanted another left hander in the team and so left out Raza

 

[Raz]

They just showed the prize for the man of the series, which was a diamond encrusted ball with a gold seam.

 

[Raz]

Abdul Razzaq seems to be the favourite to land the man of the series prize

 

[pakistani]

Hasan Raza not playing

 

[darkmoon459]

Bad move from Inzi and co to drop Raza ,it will come and haunt 'em .

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

aggresive move by Inzi to drop Raza.

Raza has trouble getting going against spinners in the middle overs, and can eat up too mane deliverys or get out for zero

 

[Raz]

First ball has been glanced to fine leg for 4 by Taufeeq

 

[Raz]

Razzaq opening the bowling

 

[Raz]

Followed by two quick singles

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I see that Inzi still loves musical chairs.

 

[Raz]

6-0 after the first over

 

[pakistani pride]

taufeeq plays 3 dot balls !

 

[Raz]

Kemp opening the bowling at the other end

 

[Raz]

Lovely drive off the backfoot through the covers for a boundary by Imran Nazir

 

[Raz]

Follows it up with a single to square leg

 

[Raz]

Flicked over mid wicket for 4 by Taufeeq, Kemp under pressure straight away

 

[Raz]

Taufeeq smacks that in the air, attempting to clear long on, but gets too much height not distance, ball escapes the fielder running back and they take 2.

 

[Raz]

17-0 after 2 overs

 

[Raz]

Quick single and the shy at the stumps results in an overthrow

 

[Raz]

Nazir flicks off his hips for 4

 

[Raz]

25-0 after 3 overs

Excellent start from the Badshahs, these two looking good, Razzaq and Kemp thus far have not threatened

 

[pakistani pride]

taufeeq will cost them

 

[Raz]

Oooo, a bit of bounce for Kemp, Taufeeq tries to steer that to third man but almost edged it to the keeper

 

[Raz]

2 singles from the over

27-0 after 4 overs

 

[Raz]

Generally risk free batting from Nazir and Taufeeq thus far

 

[Raz]

Absolem coming onto to bowl, replacing Razzaq

 

[Raz]

What a shot from Nazir, flicked to mid wicket for a flat 6, hardly broke sweat whilst doing that,

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Taufeeq gone!
Not a good innings.

 

[Raz]

Taufeeq out, tries to clear the infield on the offside, but caught by the fielder at extra cover

 

[Raz]

Imran Farhat the new batsman

 

[pakistani pride]

cant understand what taufeeq is doing in the line up or in a 20*20 match

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Nazir is such an amazing talent! Such a shame that we won't be seeing him play for Pakistan

 

[Mercenary]

Inzi said he wanted another left hander in the team and so left out Raza

They interviewed Moin who said that Raza likes pace on the ball and the Heroes attack is slow so they preferred ImFa. Not a good idea to give away your secrets Moin

 

[Raz]

Full toss, and thats been absolutely belted through the cover/extra cover area for a 4, that went like an absolute bullet. Great shot from Nazir.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Farhat continues to miss the inswingers. It seems that the ICL teams have picked on a weakness

 

[Mercenary]

BTW the game is being shown live on www.bollywood.tv (The Official ICL Streamers)

 

[Raz]

Nazir playing very well so far, taking quick singles but also putting away the bad balls with style.

 

[Raz]

Farhat struggling a bit at the moment

 

[Raz]

Just as I say that, he smacks a 4 over mid wicket with ease!!

 

[12thMan]

a four or six by Farhat
Lahore 44-1 after 6 overs

 

[Raz]

44-1 after 6 overs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Kemp will be very dangerous if he gets in on this pitch

 

[Raz]

Boje bowling now

 

[Raz]

Boje bowling well in this over, not giving away anything at all

 

[Raz]

Just 2 runs from that over 46-1 after 7 overs

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Pitch is kind of fast but the good batsman should do well on this pitch.

 

[Raz]

Great fielding from Binny, saves 2 runs after Nazir rockets that to long on

 

[Raz]

51-1 after 8 overs

 

[Raz]

Down the track and Farhat smokes that over long off for a massive 6,

 

[Raz]

62-1 after 9

 

[pakistani pride]

BAD shahs feeling the pressure !

 

[Raz]

Nazir and Farhat charging down the track on a few occasions during that over, but every time the ball fell short of the fielder in the deep

Good stream..

 

[shabs100]

links to stream anyone?

 

[Raz]

Nazir out, flat bats it to long on and caught

 

[12thMan]

Nazir out ct at long on
63-2 after 9.2 overs
the way the batsmen are swinging the bat you would think the score will be 80+

 

[Raz]

Inzi comes out to bat

 

[Master Blaster]

Nazir goes !!

Pretty decent score so far though !!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

This isn't good enough. Good move by Inzi to come at # 4

 

[Raz]

65-2 after 10 overs

 

[dblock]

surely they have to go after Harris, dibbly dobbly if it ever existed.

 

[Raz]

There is still plenty of batting left for the Badshahs, Hunter Humayun, Lethal Latif and Murderous Mahmood still to come

 

[Master Blaster]

PIS Reddy 2 0 8 1 4.00

Greats figs these in TT !!

 

[Raz]

Smacked straight down the ground for 4 by Farhat

73-2 after 11

 

[Raz]

Inzi out lbw!!!

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Inzi gone-75-3

 

[Master Blaster]

LB's scoring runs at 6.5 per over.

They need to up it !!

 

[Raz]

Some issues there, umpire gave Inzi out straightaway, but Inzi said he had hit it and wanted a replay but had to go

 

[12thMan]

Inzi out LBW
Lahore 75-3 after 11.4 overs

 

[dblock]

Inzi looked rather out of sorts in the short innings.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Some issues there, umpire gave Inzi out straightaway, but Inzi said he had hit it and wanted a replay but had to go

yeah the umpiring even with the help of the 3rd umpire hasn't made a difference.

 

[Raz]

76-3 after 12 overs,

Badshahs need to rev it up from now on.

 

[Raz]

Smashed to mid wicket for 4 by Farhat

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Baadshahs need about 90 runs more

 

[Raz]

84-3 after 13 overs

 

[Raz]

Binny coming onto bowl now, he needs to be targetted.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

See this is why its not a good idea to have the 3rd umpire decide on caught behinds and LBWs.

Why?
