At this point, Faisalabad is trying to keep alive in the tournament. Faisalabad lost to Otago by eight wickets and now face elimination, IB Times reports. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq was the only bright spot for Faisalabad, scoring 46 on 34.
"With Misbah, it doesn't matter in what format or at which level he is playing, he has always been his team's backbone," Faisalabad's Khurram Shahzad said, via IB Times. "We all have improved batting under his captaincy and learnt a lot from him. He is one man who always carries the team with him and leads from the front. We are extremely lucky to have a leader like him.
"I don't think we are over-dependent on him as a batting side. He has always taught us not to depend too much on any particular player and due to that we have won quite a few matches even without him.
"Hopefully, in the coming matches we will show that we have other players who are capable of winning us matches and you will see that we are a very good team."
Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, played well in its first match against Kandurata Maroons. Captain Shikhar Dhawan won Man of the Match for his stellar performance, which included scoring 71 on 53.
