ICL 20s Grand Championship - 2nd final

Hyderabad Heroes v Lahore Badshahs

Match tied

2007/08 season
Played at Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium, Hyderabad, Deccan
6 April 2008 - day/night (20-over match)


Lahore Badshahs innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
Taufeeq Umar	c Maher b Absolem	13	15	2	0	86.66
4.5 Heroes draw first blood as Absolem lures Umar by pitching it outside off. Umar goes for the lofted drive and does not clear Maher at deep extra cover 34/1
Imran Nazir	c Rayudu b Reddy	30	27	3	1	111.11
9.2 on the leg stump, Nazir lofts it to long on where Rayudu takes the catch without moving an inch. Raymond says"Good Catch.... Binny would have taken it one handed" 63/2
Imran Farhat	st †Khaleel b Binny	30	27	3	1	111.11
13.4 on the off stump, Farhat looks to loft it onto the midwicket but misses and is stumped. Khaleel is the man 84/4
Inzamam-ul-Haq*	lbw b Reddy	5	9	0	0	55.55
11.4 on the leg and middle and Inzamam tries to sweep it and is struck flush on the pads and is out but Inzamam says he got an edge onto it and the replays dont suggest so. Palmer who already lifted his finger is further vindicated by the replays. Good breakthrough this 75/3
Naved Latif	b Binny	6	9	0	0	66.66
15.2 the answer to the question of earlier ball is nothing as the stumps are bought out of the ground and sends Latif back 96/5
Humayun Farhat†	c Rayudu b Binny	8	6	1	0	133.33
15.3 on the middle stump, Farhat plays the ugly swipe, which he has made all his own and gets s top edge to long on. Binny is the "Kissed man" of the finals 3 wickets off 9 balls, can you beat that ? 98/6
Azhar Mahmood	c Rayudu b Reddy	13	11	1	1	118.18
18.3 full toss at the waist height as Mahmood comes down the track and blasts it to deep extra cover only to see Rayudu taking the catch. And for all those having a doubt, why it is not called a no ball, it isn't dangerous for a spinner to be bowling that ball 118/7
Naved-ul-Hasan	not out	6	10	0	0	60.00

Mushtaq Ahmed	st †Khaleel b Reddy	0	2	0	0	0.00
18.6 on the off stump and an arm ball, which beats Mushtaq on the run and is stumped easily. Khaleel has easily been the most impressive keeper 119/8
Mohammad Sami	c Rayudu b Abdul Razzaq	8	4	0	1	200.00
19.6 on the leg stump and slower ball as Sami comes down the track and lofts it to long on to guess who? Rayudu, who takes his fourth catch of the innings 130/9
Extras	(lb 7, w 4)	11

Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs)	130	(6.50 runs per over)
