TEAMS PREVIEW

Falcon Hunters Preview

Salman Butt looked in a fine-form in the last outing wherein he scored an unbeaten 27-ball 39 comprising 3-fours and 2-sixes to take his side on the roads of galore. Veteran Hashim Amla and Kamran Khan were in great nick and maintained strike rates of 180+ during their stay in the middle.

Mohammad Rizlan played an explosive cameo of 11-ball 24 along with Babar Hayat would shoulder the bulk of runs in case the top-order departs early.

With the ball, skipper Iqbal Hussain was quite economical as he grabbed figures of 1/12 and with leggie Tamoor Sajjad who scalped two wickets to his name would be the vital cogs for Falcon Hunters in the bowling lineup.

Toss: To Bowl
