The national Super Eight T20 Cup gets underway at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad here today.

The teams are divided into two polls in which Poll-A includes Lahore lines, Sialkot stylizes, Islamabad leopards and Hyderabad hawks.

Whereas, poll-B belongs to Faisalabad wolves, Karachi dolphins, Multan tigers and Rawalpindi rims.

While T20 specialists like former captain Shahid Afridi and all-rounder Abdul Razzaq will miss the event, owing to county commitments, the tournament still offers much excitement with the presence of Misbahul Haq, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf, Kamran Akmal and Imran Nazir, besides other stars.

Eight teams, placed in two groups of four, will fight for T20 glory in the tournament that finishes on July 1.
