On a day Pakistan made a comeback in the Kolkata Test courtesy centuries from Misbah-ul Haq and Kamran Akmal, another Pakistani batsman shone, albeit in the Indian Cricket League. Taufeeq Umar8217;s unbeaten 52 helped Delhi Jets to a five-wicket victory over Hyderabad Heroes at Panchkula in the fourth match of the 8216;rebel8217; league.

Although Hyderabad Heroes piled up the highest total of the tournament8212;1418212;it wasn8217;t enough to hold back Delhi Jets, who got home with 14 balls to spare.

The Heroes, who registered a thumping win last night beating the Mumbai Champs by 33 runs, struggled early on after choosing to bat. TP Sudhindra, the medium-pacer from Madhya Pradesh, bowled well to contain the run flow. He scalped two quick wickets, removing Anirudh Singh 8 and Azhar Mahmood 0. Ambati Rayudu too couldn8217;t do much, as he was stumped by Paul Nixon off the bowling of Ali Mortaza.

Brief scores: Hyderabad Heroes 143/5 N Boje 45, Inzamam 34; T Sudhindra 2/25 lost to Delhi Jets 143/5 in 17.4 overs Taufeeq Umar 52; A Razzaq 2/31.

Kolkata Tigers 124 in 19.3 overs R Sharma 3/23 beat Chandigarh Lions 81 in 17.3 overs D Maddy 4/6
