Earlier, the Diamonds won the toss and opted to bat first on an artificial turf carpet laid out on the perfectly laid out snowfield. Skipper Virender Sehwag led the charge with a quickfire 62 of 31 balls. Along with him, Andrew Symonds chipped in with a handy 40. For the Royals, Abdul Razzaq was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4/18. However, the most entertaining aspect of the first innings was when Sehwag took on arch-rival Shoaib Akhtar. Enroute to his first half-century on the ice, The Sultan of Multan started the innings by cutting Shoaib Akhtar’s very first ball to score a boundary and then went on to make a dazzling 62. Team Diamond ended up with 166 runs in 20 overs.
