News about differences between Pakistan ODI captain Misbah-ul-Haq and T20 captain Mohammad Hafeez have been in the media for quite a while. However, the ‘rivalry’ between the two materialised when the players came to face-to-face by a twist of fate in Caribbean Premier League 2013 match. Misbah, playing for St Lucia Zouks, gave Guyana Amazon Warriors’ Hafeez a bashing, guiding his team to win in the last over.

When St Lucia needed 10 runs to win in the last over, Misbah missed the first ball delivered by the ‘professor’. But he smashed the next two balls into the stand, helping St Lucia grab a 5-wicket victory. Misbah’s form that was witnessed during the ODI series against West Indies is continuing.
Guyana Amazon scored 126 runs in the first innings at the loss of 6 wickets. Hafeez’s share in the total was 13. Opener Lendl Simmons and Christopher Barnwell were the leading scorers for the team with 38 and 29 runs.
Shane Shillingford took three wickets for Zouks.
St Lucia chased the target in the third ball of the last over, thanks to Pakistan skipper’s 49 off 33. His innings included 4 sixes, an aspect generally not expected from Misbah.
Apart from Misbah, Andre Fletcher scored, 23; Devon Smith, 24; while Darren Sammy smashed quick and valuable 21 off 9.
Misbah was declared man of the match for his fireworks.
