Faisalabad Wolves held their nerves to defeat a generous but spirited Karachi Dolphins by two wickets in the final of Pakistan’s inaugural Twenty20 Cup at a packed-to-capacity Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Pakistan Cricket Board could not have hoped for a better script to the grand finale that went to the wire as the Wolves, chasing 159 for victory, romped home with one ball and two wickets to spare after Dolphins put down nearly half a dozen catches on Saturday. The event was undoubtedly a huge success for which credit must be given to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
