LAHORE, Jan 4: Fine bowling by left-arm spinner Farooq Iqbal helped Wapda reduce PTCL to 108 for eight as their Patron’s Trophy Grade-I match finally got under way at Sheikhupura Stadium on Wednesday after the first two days’ play washed out due to rain and foggy weather.

Farooq snapped up five for 37.

Only Babar Naeem (33) and Zulqarnain Haider (26) were the prominent scorers.
