Lahore Badshahs won the toss and Inzamam decided to bat first in this ICL cricket match. There were a lot of expectations for the Pakistan players in ICL and are considered stronger in their bowling rather than batting. Lahore Badshahs started slow and steady and their first wicket fell at the end of the fourth over when the cricket score was 28. Farhat played a decent innings and scored 37 runs off 48 balls.

Lahore Badshahs were playing a defensive game as wickets were falling at regular intervals. Inzamam was dismissed by Chandana for 19 runs, which turned the ICL match around as he was partnering with Shahid Yousuf. Yousuf played aggressively and scored 32 runs off just 18 balls with three boundaries and two sixes and remained unbeaten.

The batting performance of Lahore Badshahs was disappointing and they put up a cricket score of 139 runs at the end of their innings. Chandana of Royal Bengal Tigers bowled well and managed to take 4 wickets giving away just 21 runs in his 4 overs. Chandana was the key man for restricting the Pakistan Team to 139.
