His exceptional performance single-handedly steered IBEX Knights to a formidable total. Apart from Arsal Ali’s heroics, Faizan Zaheer contributed with 21 runs, and Hashir Ansari provided valuable support with an unbeaten 28 off 22. Muhammad Rizwan’s late onslaught added 22 runs off just 6 balls to IBEX Knights’ total. Haris Siddique was the standout bowler for PSO, picking up 3 crucial wickets. IBEX Knights eventually posted an imposing total of 227/6.
In response, PSO faced a daunting task of chasing down the target. Unfortunately, they struggled from the outset, losing 5 early wickets. Faizan Zaman was the lone bright spot with 28 runs off 21 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under pressure.
