ICL 1st Final Preview: Lahore Badshahs v Hyderabad Heroes

In the final of the ICL 20s championship, Lahore Badshahs take on Hyderabad Heroes in the first final.

Both teams are geared up with back-to-back wins against two of the frontrunners in the league stage. Lahore beat the Chennai Superstars and Hyderabad saw off the Royal Bengal Tigers. The only game they played against each other this season, the tournament opener, didn’t go the full distance as Lahore, chasing 166, were 30 for 2 when the lights went out.

It might be a repeat of the last tournament but Lahore will be seeking to change the final outcome. The prize money has been doubled since last season. Lahore were highly tipped for the winners’ cheque, but were humbled 2-0 by Hyderabad, losing a bowl-out 3-0 in the second final.

Hyderabad’s all-round balance gives them an advantage in this format, but Lahore’s big-name players Inzamam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Yousuf and Saqlain Mushtaq have been pulling their weight in recent games.
