TPL Corp won the toss and elected to bat first, but their innings got off to a rocky start as they lost four early wickets. The top-order collapse left them reeling, but Muhammad Zeeshan Ali provided some much-needed stability. He scored a composed 30 off 30 balls, anchoring the innings at a crucial time. Muhammad Shariq then injected some momentum into the innings with a quickfire 28 off 18 balls, displaying aggressive intent. M Umaid also contributed with 19 off 18 balls, but apart from these three, the rest of the batting lineup struggled to make an impact. Wickets continued to tumble as UBL Insurers’ bowlers maintained pressure. Areeb Salman was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 3 wickets and causing significant damage to TPL Corp’s batting order. Despite the challenges, TPL Corp managed to post a competitive total of 148/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Chasing a target of 149, UBL Insurers needed a solid start, but their innings turned into a nightmare. The top-order crumbled under relentless pressure from TPL Corp’s bowlers. None of the batsmen could establish themselves at the crease, leading to a rapid succession of wickets. Yahya Javed was the only batsman who showed some resistance, top-scoring with 14 off 11 balls. However, his efforts were in vain as no other batsman reached double figures. Sami Usman was the star with the ball for TPL Corp, delivering a match-winning performance by taking 4 wickets and dismantling UBL Insurers’ batting lineup. The innings ended in a dramatic collapse, with UBL Insurers being bowled out for just 34 runs in 7.3 overs.
TPL Corp won by 114 runs
