Sarfaraz was the bowler who contained the batsman and dented their hopes of a big score taking 3 for 29.
In reply, Hyderabad Sharks openers Shezad and Yasir started cautiously for a couple of overs before they went on the rampage and took advantage of power play restrictions. Shehzad played a cameo, scoring 36 in 15 balls aided with 6 fours and a 6 before Ishaq scalped the prized wicket caught by Wajid. At end of power play the score was 58 for 1 in 6 overs. Shehroze and Yasir scored at will with boundaries and they launched their fusillade immediately with their breath-taking stroke play. Shehroze being the dominating partner as he flogged the bowlers with scintillating shots all around to reach his half-century and Yasir soon followed his partner in completing his half-century as well. These two put on 135-run partnership for the unfinished second wicket with Yasir playing sheet anchor role scoring 61 not out in 46 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes, while Shehroze dominated scoring an unbeaten 79 off 44 balls, aided with 3 fours and 5 sixes. They led Hyderabad Sharks to 193 for 1 in 18.2 overs for a well-deserved win by 9 wickets.
