ISLAMABAD: Habib Bank Limited (HBL) have brightened their chances of completing a double as the team took healthy 168-run first innings lead against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy final at the UBL Sports Complex Ground in Karachi Friday.
HBL amassed 472 in response to SNGPL’s first innings score of 304. Batting for the second time, SNGPL reached 336 for the loss of five wickets at the close of penultimate day’s play.
