An unbeaten century by skipper Adil Nisar spearheaded a spirited fight
back by WAPDA against Pakistan Customs on the third day of the
Patron's Trophy Grade-I cricket encounter at Iqbal Stadium in
Faisalabad on Wednesday.
WAPDA, who trailed by 167 runs on the first innings, closed the
penultimate day of the four-day clash on 239 for three, according to
details available here. They now have a slim lead of 72 with seven
wickets standing.
Resuming their second innings at nine without loss, WAPDA were reduced
to 25 for two before a third wicket stand of 98 between the lefthanded Bilal Khilji, who batted patiently for his 32 off 142 balls,
and Adil Nisar lifted the score to 132.
Adil, who is batting with 107 off 253 deliveries with 14 boundaries,
and Hasan Adnan (66 off 133 balls, 10 fours) improved WAPDA's chance
of saving the match with an unfinished fourth wicket partnership that
has so far realized 116 runs.
