Bringing in young and exciting Shahab Khan to replace injured Shaheen, doing in Pakistan style of giving chance to raw exciting talented pacer, who have fabulous T20 bowling avg of 11.

Hope Pat, Abbas & Usman take responsibility and show their bowling skill which they have done so far in their careers.

We are not taking Sindh lightly by any chance, let the boys show their skills.

[CerealKiller]

Federal Territory won by 7 wickets (with 18 deliveries remaining)

That was an amazing display by Head and Haider, they killed the chase on their own. We conceded a little too much for comfort on an even pitch, but these two just blew the opposition away. Really crucial win as KPK are playoff contenders
