In response, EFU had the most bizarre day out with the bat. Opener Baqar Hussain played one of the best innings we’ve ever witnessed, 120 runs off just 72 balls including 10 boundaries and 7 mammoth sixes! But the 4 consequent batters were out for duck. With no support on the other end, EFU ended at 172 for 5 in 20 overs. Rehan Zafar tried to keep things ticking with his 22 runs but it was too little for the massive score they needed to chase. Muhammad Shan and Mansoor Abbasi’s early wickets helped put the dent on the EFU batters who could never recover after that.

UBL Insurance won by 42 runs.
