LAHORE – Pakistan opener Imran Farhat hammered a century to lift his team HBL to 226 on day two of the four-day Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match against NBP here at the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday.
In another match, SNGPL provided Wapda first innings lead after they were all out for 141 at the LCCA ground.
National Bank resumed their innings at 190 runs for eight and their remaining two players failed to add any score to the total and were sent back by Sarnmad Anwar, who took four wickets in the first innings. After starting their second innings, HBL though did not bat well but Farhat produced 101 runs to give support to an otherwise miserable batting collapse. He got some support from Danish Kaneria who made useful 48 runs off 70 balls.
