fartguru:

What are you talking about? Sialkot screws up, and Karachi Zebra’s who should have gone into the next round gets kicked out and Lahore Eagles goes into the next round, what do you think really happened here? Why should’nt ppl ask this question? this was the most blatant form of lahori parochialism one has ever seen and that too on international TV. I will have no problem in admitting Iam wrong, but on the evidence currently available, any sane, fair minded person wud also jump to the same conclusion. How can the team who has nothing to do with match throwing, has won its match has the highest poits, first has its points docked for Sialkoti screw up and then is told that Lahore is the most qualified team to go forward, even though Karachi whipped their asses…go figure.

Yes you have a point here. Karachi should not have been penalized for Sialkot’s act but Sialkot should have been disqualified. And this probably would’ve meant that both Karachi and Lahore would’ve qualified for the semis.
