Lahore Eagles vs Sialkot Stallions | FBT20 : 1st Semi Final | Karachi | 01/10/11

[Cover Drive]

Ths first semi-final of the Faysal Bank T20 tournament sees Pakistan's most successful T20 team, the Sialkot Stallions, face surprise package Lahore Eagles.

It almost feels like Pakistan's test match side v limited overs team!

Stallions have limited-overs experts Imran Nazir, Raza Hasan, Shoaib Malik, Abdur Rehman and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, against the test players Adnan Akmal, Azhar Ali, Imran Farhat and Taufeeq Umar.

Can the test match players adapt their game to topple the giants of Sialkot? Or will Sialkot's big-match experience and skill take them to yet another final?

Match starts at 11am GMT.

PakPassion interviewed Lahore coach Manzoor Elahi a day ago and he certainly believes his team can succeed. Elahi's interview can be read here:

[Saj]

Got to surely fancy Sialkot to win this match, but as we saw with yesterdays game between Karachi and Peshawar, anything is possible.

 

[Asif321]

empty stands

why ppl only come for night matches tht too very less if Afridi is not playing
Super 8 Tournament had a Big Turnout!!!

 

[chui_kadoo]

Hope Imran Nazir can put in a big performance today

I sense an Imran Nazir special today. Sialkot are firm favourites.

 

[rhussain33]

Imran Nazir is gonna have to play out Junaid Zia risk free if he wants to stay at the crease for a few balls

Ground looks empty. Dont think Farhat will last against SS bowling attack.

 

[AbdulrazzaqFan]

where do i watch it? any links?

 

[jawad1]

Can anybody please provide any link to watch the match.

 

[rhussain33]

Man i was wrong, Imran Farhat, lambasting the SS bowlers

Sialkot bowlers getting hammered by Farhat and co

[Runner Up]

Surprisingly Lhr Eagles are playing much better than expected as compare to their past record. If I am not wrong Manzoor Elahi is their coach who was my fav cricketer and I used to love his big sixes.

[Sledger]

What captaincy, what a bowler. nia

 

[insaftak]

shoaib got big time phainty in his first over

 

[CORNERED-TIGER]

What captaincy, what a bowler. nia

aj kis ko support kar rahe ho bhai

 

[ads101]

Malik is expensive, but when we're getting hit around, I've noticed Shoaib often takes the first wicket. Then bowls the rest of his overs and gets tonked around.

Hopefully now he's got his wicket, he won't make the mistake of bowling more.

 

[Sledger]

What a knock by Sobers.

 

[chui_kadoo]

50 for Farhat

 

[tauseefm]
