Hyderabad Heroes innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
JP Maher	st †Khalid Mahmood b Saqlain Mushtaq	45	80	46	3	1	97.82
15.3 finally Saqlain has a wicket. Saqlain notices Maher coming down the track as he pulls back the length a little and bowls it faster than usual. The ball manages to beat the outside edge and Khalid does the rest as he flicks the bails away 138/2
I Khaleel†	lbw b Naved-ul-Hasan	25	26	15	5	0	166.66
5.5 Rana has his man now. Bowls a fuller delivery on the middle stump and it looked to be coming in. Khaleel, as has been his wont looks to flick it away but does not get his bat down in time as the ball thuds onto pads. Although at the first look it seemed to be going down leg, replays suggest it would have held it's line and off goes Khaleel 49/1
Abdul Razzaq	c Imran Nazir b Naved-ul-Hasan	69	77	46	6	3	150.00
19.6 short outside the off stump, Razzaq is looking to pull it away and gets a top edge to long on, where Imran Nazir takes the catch. Rana has some choicest of words to hurl at Razzaq, who is visibly unhappy and has a word with Inzi 170/5
STR Binny	c †Khalid Mahmood b Naved-ul-Hasan	10	10	7	2	0	142.85
17.3 good length delivery on the off stump and moving away a touch as Binny is looking to heave it over long off. Binny misreads the length of the delivery as he is into the shot early and gets an outside edge back to the keeper. Rana, gives a send-off to the batsman 153/3
AT Rayudu	run out (Naved-ul-Hasan)	1	2	2	0	0	50.00
17.6 from Naved-ul-Hasan, gone. Fuller on the leg stump, Rayudu comes forward and pushes it back to the bowler. Rana runs across Razzaq and has enough time to line up the stumps and throws the leg stump down and raises his arms in jubilation 155/4
JM Kemp	not out	3	9	6	0	0	50.00

Extras	(b 4, lb 3, w 8, nb 2)	17

Total	(5 wickets; 20 overs)	170	(8.50 runs per over)

Imran Nazir	c Kemp b Abdul Razzaq	26	15	10	3	2	260.00
2.1 they have their man, the Heroes. Razzaq, bowls one short and Nazir comes down the track in an attempt to pull it away but gets a top edge that takes an eternity to come down and Kemp is under the ball to take it comfortably. Razzaq, lifts his arms prematurely and smiles 28/1
Imran Farhat	c Reddy b Anirudh Singh	65	70	38	5	5	171.05
13.2 fuller outside the off stump, Farhat comes down the track and does not get under it as he lofts it down the throat of IS Reddy at long off. Has the wicket come too late for the Heroes? 127/3
Naved-ul-Hasan	c Reddy b Boje	18	30	21	3	0	85.71
9.2 fuller on the leg stump, Rana makes room and slogs it straight down the throat of IS Reddy at long on. He took the pretty deep, just in front of the ropes. Lady luck was not smiling on Rana this time 82/2
Mohammad Yousuf	run out (Binny/Harris)	11	30	15	1	0	73.33
14.3 from Harris, fuller on the middle stump, Yousuf is looking to sweep it away but cant clear the short fine leg fielder, Binny and Shahid comes running in. Yousuf, has to run as Binny throws it back to Harris, who does a brilliant job in relaying or rather, palming the throw onto the stumps 137/5
Inzamam-ul-Haq*	b Harris	5	3	3	1	0	166.66
14.1 outside the off stump and cutting in, Inzamam, looks to pull it away and is beaten and hears the death rattle as the middle stump is pegged back 136/4
Shahid Yousuf	lbw b Reddy	5	8	5	1	0	100.00
15.2 good length on the middle stump. Shahid comes forward and looks to defend it but the ball hits him on the pads and he is plumb in front. He asks for the referral and the umpires decision is upheld 142/6
