The 2nd final of Edelweiss trophy went down to the wire it was an extermely entertaining and nail biting finish, the match was decided by a bowl out and Hyderabad heroes emerged victorious. I never saw Inzi leading a team so intensely may be it was because of the prize money, I saw these guys feilding like they have have never done for Pakistan.
Badshahs set a target of 130 they lost wickets at regular intervals, Inzi got out because of a poor umpiring decision and Azhar was also given out on a ball which was above the waist and should have been given a no ball.These two decisions tilted the match in favor of Heroes, it was interesting to see that all the commentators they were cheering for the Heroes nobody wanted the Badshahs to win.
Rana Naved bowled an excellent 18th over and tilted the match in favor of the Badshahs 23 were required from the last two overs with 2 wickets in hand, unfortunately Azhar Mahmood gave away 12 runs in the 19th over, Rana started his last over horribly by bowling two no balls and a wide but he ended up taking two wickets and the match was tied.
In the bowl out the Badshahs missed three times and the heroes won the match. Abdul Razzak was declared the man of the series and got Rs 4 mil prize check and that diamond encrusted ball.
Lahore Badshahs lifted the standard of this tournament without them this tournament would not have been a success, something for PCB to think about how they are losing their own talent because of lack of management.
