Re: RBS Pentangular One Day cup
Baluchistan beat Federal Areas by 7 wickets. Misbah's made 63 but lost.
I like Sind & Baluchistan, but Punjab are favorites to win though.

Punjab Stallions 287 for 4 (Butt 109, Malik 108*) beat Baluchistan Bears 284 for 4 (Saeed Bin Nasir 97*, Misbah 49) by six wickets
Scorecard
The Punjab Stallions marched to their third successive win in the Pentagular One Day Cup with another commanding four-wicket win that continued the trend of sides chasing down big totals. This time it was the Baluchistan Bears who were at the end of a defeat clinched by two superb hundreds in a daunting chase that had been hurt by early wickets - Salman Butt’s 109 and the captain Shoaib Malik’s unbeaten 108 helped Punjab knock off 285 in 48.3 overs.
Punjab began their reply on a poor note, losing the openers Azhar Ali and Nasir Jamshed with the total just 24, and then Umar Akmal at 70. But like the Baluchistan pair of Umar Amin and Afaq Raheem last night, Butt and Malik began to swiftly repair the damage. Both hit the ball across the National Stadium and put Baluchistan on the back foot. Their fourth-wicket stand had added 130 before Butt departed for 109, scored from 107 deliveries.
Malik, who leads the run chart with 236 at 118.00, found a cool ally in Pakistan team-mate Kamran Akmal. Akmal had failed to do much in his first two games but here slammed 48 from 29 balls, with three fours and three sixes, to take Punjab across the line with six wickets in hand. Malik remained not out on 108, scored from 94 balls with the help of ten fours.
Earlier, Baluchistan had made 284 for 4 after being put in by Malik. There was only one half-century, Saeed Bin Nasir’s unbeaten 97, but solid efforts from the top and middle orders boosted the total. The openers Mohammad Hafeez (48) and Shoaib Khan jnr (36) added 75, and a 94-run partnership for the third wicket followed between Saeed Anwar jnr (25) and Bin Nasir. Misbah-ul-Haq, Baluchistan’s captain, contributed 49 from 47 balls, with just one boundary, before he was last out at 254. Bin Nasir failed to reach his century, stranded on 97 from 89 balls, including 11 fours and a six.
Malik had the best figures of 2 for 37 from his ten overs, and capped a fine outing with a stellar hundred.
