19:25 (IST): Man of the Match is Misbah-ul-Haq - This team has something to cheer about. We performed better today and this will give us confidence for the future. Our batting was disappointing but the bowling is a positive, especially our spinners. Ehsan Adil got two wickets and got us back in the game.

19:20 (IST): Lahiru Thirimanne - We didn't play to our potential, we had a very good chance of winning but we couldn't. We need to be consistent at this level but our batsmen didn't do very well today.

19:10 (IST): Faisalabad Wolves (146/6) beat Kandurata Maroons (136/7) by 10 runs, both sides fail to qualify for the group stages.

17:40 (IST): Strong words there from Misbah. One wonders if Faisalabad's fate in the tournament would have been different is someone other than their skipper would have performed for the side. It's up to the bowlers now, with 146 to defend.

17:35 (IST): Misbah-ul-Haq - If someone else from the side would have contributed, the situation could have been a lot different. But that's how cricket goes. I scored fast but played my natural shots so we have a good total.

17:25 (IST): Misbah-ul-Haq 93*(60b) guides Faisalabad Wolves to 146/6 in 20 overs vs Kandurata Maroons.

17:20 (IST): WICKET - Jayaratne takes a splendid one-handed catch to get rid of Mohammad Salman (21).

15:58 (IST): Playing XIs:

Maroons: WU Tharanga, SHT Kandamby, KC Sangakkara, HDRL Thirimanne, LPC Silva, TAM Siriwardana, LHD Dilhara, KMDN Kulasekara, S Randiv, PLM Jayaratne, BAW Mendis.

15:56 (IST): While Faisalabad have an unchanged squad, Kandurata have left out Lokuarachchi and Jayasuriya to bring in Jayaratne and Siriwardana.

15:52 (IST): In the latter clash of the evening, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts will face off in a clash between two in-form teams. Read our full preview of the days action here.

15:50 (IST): The case with Kandurata though is slightly different. They have a squad filled with international cricketers from Sri Lanka, including Thirimanne, Kumar Sangakkara, Upul Tharanga, Nuwan Kulasekara and Ajantha Mendis. However the Lankan side have flattered to deceive  and haven't been able to show the world their champion abilities.

15:40 (IST): Faisalabad have had a tough tour, with their visa issues and all, but would be desperate to head back to Pakistan with a win under their belt.

15:30 (IST): Kandurata win the toss and opt to bowl! Skipper Lahiru Thirimanne is pleased to be bowling first while Misbah says it's "all about playing good cricket".

15:25 (IST): Faisalabad Wolves were not expected to challenge Sunrisers Hyderabad, Otago Volts or Kandurata for a place in the group stages. Barring Misbah-ul-Haq and Saeed Ajmal the squad is bereft of any real quality, suggested by the comprehensive defeats they suffered in their two encounters so far. Misbah has done relatively well in both games, while we have seen a few glimpses of quality from Ajmal, but the support cast has not been up to scratch.

15:20 (IST): An Indian voyage comes to an end for both Kandurata Maroons and Faisalabad Wolves. They face each other in just over an hours time in their final qualifying match - a dead rubber which ensures that both sides have nought but pride to play for before heading home in opposite directions.
