The run-rate is not a problem for the Hyderabadi team but the consistent loss of wickets is becoming a major problem as the Kingsmen lose half of their batters.
The run-rate is not a problem for the Hyderabadi team but the consistent loss of wickets is becoming a major problem as the Kingsmen lose half of their batters.
Usman Khan has been the standout so far with his 26-ball 54 but the likes of Saim Ayub and Irfan Khan departed cheaply for 12 and 0.
Maaz Sadaqat had to depart after a blistering 11-ball 28-run knock, thanks to Amad Butt's beautiful delivery that nicked the edge and landed safely on Mohammad Rizwan's gloves.
Blistering start from the Hyderabad Kingsmen as Maaz Sadaqat takes on the Rawalpindiz and gets his strike rate up to 300 at the moment. He has smacked 28 off 10 but his partner and skipper Marnus Labuschagne has been sent back to the pavilion for 5 off 5 by Ben Sears.
Hyderabad Kingsmen: Maaz Sadaqat, Marnus Labuschagne(c), Saim Ayub, Usman Khan(w), Kusal Perera, Glenn Maxwell, Irfan Khan, Hassan Khan, Hunain Shah, Mohammad Ali, Akif Javed
Rawalpindiz: Muhammad Rizwan (C/WK), Shahzaib Khan, Usman Khawaja, Kamran Ghulam, Sam Billings, Dian Forrester, Saad Masood, Amad Butt, Asif Afridi, Ben Sears and Mohammad Amir
