LAHORE Saqib Khan Khakwani struck four times to help Diamond Paints/Sheikhoo Steel reach the final of the Gobi’s Paints Polo Cup after beating Rijas Development/Master Paints 8-4 in their last round match at the Jinnah Polo Club here on Friday.
Aleem Yar Tiwana scored a brace while Mir Shoaib Ahmad and Usman Aziz Anwar chipped in with a goal each for winners as Faisal Shahzad’s hat-trick and a goal by Sufi Muhammad Haroon for Rijas Development/Master Paints went in vain.
