What was important was that he gave himself time.He batted really well. In the middle overs he was not able to rotate the strike. But with the firepower we have we knew that the set batsman can make it up. This was an oportunity to give him a game. Rifan had a rest. He had time to think about his game. We have some fantastic bowlers. We are playing 3 proper pacers.'
Akbar is the Man of the Match for his 46 runs in 20 balls.
FCC bowlers will be happy with this outing. They were bowling second and the bowlers responded well. Sadiq and Asif started well as they got the ball to seam around. Once the initial pressure was created, the pacers came on and took control of the game. Mujthab was the pick as he scalped four wickets and got his best T15 figures. Fuad gave him good support as he picked 3 wickets. The fielding too was excellent, they didn't drop any catches and hung on to whatever came their way. Overall a splendid performance from FCC who look the side to beat with each passing game.
