Man of the match: Yuvraj Singh

Code:
Lahore Lions have to give that win to Yuvraj Singh. He murdered the Islamabad bowlers. Saeed Ajmal and co. had no answers to him, after getting early breakthroughs. Not to forget about Suresh Raina who played a calm knock to see of the new ball, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni you accerarated the innings in the early stage.

Man of the match: Imran Farhat
 
Ah. We didn't put on enough pressure enough with the bowling. I guess the absence of the management showed. Thanks for Muzammil for taking care of things and getting us this far though. :thumbs
 
Good stuff by the team! Bowlers were quite decent but still they could've performed a lot better. Our batsmen were outstanding except for the openers who got out early, Farhat played a blinder in his very first game this season which is a good sign for us.
 
Oh man ! gutted with the loss there , great presentation Nabhan and another successful season for you , congratulations ! :clap
