Super-Eight T20 Cup: Misbah-led Faisalabad through to final LAHORE: Faisalabad Wolves qualified for the final of the Faysal Bank Super-Eight Twenty20 Cup defeating Lahore Lions by two runs after a sensational contest here at the Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday.Misbahul Haq marshaled his troops to perfection as Faisalabad Wolves won a nail-biting semi-final over the Mohammad Hafeez-led

Needing nine off the final over, Lahore managed a boundary off the first ball before Adil turned it on, taking two wickets to dismiss the opposition short of the target.
What should have been a comfortable stroll for Lahore turned out to be a nail-biting finish and a win for Faisalabad. Boasting of several Pakistan internationals , Lahore were off to a perfect start in pursuit of a meagre target at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Hafeez, who took three for 30 to help his side restrict Faisalabad earlier in the day, then hit a quickfire 36 off just 27 balls to put his side on top. Nasir Jamshed (46) and Hafeez added 57 for the second wicket but the dismissal of Pakistan Twenty20 captain turned the match around.
