RAWALPINDI, Jan 28: Wapda made a steady start to their Quaid- e-Azam Trophy quarterfinal against PIA Tuesday crawling to 219 for five on the first day at the Rawalpindi Stadium.
Opener Atiq-ur-Rehman (67) and Hasan Adnan who scored an unbeaten 56, kept Wapda going albeit slowly after they had been put in to bat first.
Off-spinner Shoaib Malik took two wickets for 58 runs while fast bowler Mohammad Zahid and slow left-armer Asif Mujtaba had one each.
PIA suffered a huge setback earlier in the day when Test speedster Fazle Akbar limped off the field with a thigh strain.
