GRP:B
Farce, controversy, Duckworth and Lewis conspired to produce a two-run win for defending champions Sialkot Stallions against the Karachi Zebras. Being bundled out for 106 was no way for champions to start their defense, with only Rana Naved-ul-Hasan's 28 denying Malik Aftab (4 for 17) and Danish Kaneria (3 for 11). But when the Zebras came out to bat, Mohammad Asif and Naved-ul-Hasan reminded everyone just why the Stallions remain favourites this year. Together they reduced the Zebras to 69 for five, despite a clever partnership between Faisal Iqbal and Hasan Raza that ended with both batsmen throwing their wickets away. At that stage, 69 for five, the match was wide open but a floodlight failure meant that no further progress could be made. The umpires chose not to wait too long for a potentially exciting climax, whereupon entered Duckworth and Lewis.
