It was all going smooth for Sindh in Pakistan Cup 2016, they won their first two matches and their were some serious chances that they’ll be playing final in this pentagular ODI Cup, but things changed a lot they lost both of their next matches, and believe me they are not playing Pakistan Cup 2016 Final against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
