Institute of Architects took the batting initiative but faced early challenges, losing two wickets in the initial phase. Opener Shah Salman played a crucial role, providing a solid start with a quickfire 31 off 21 balls. Contributions from Zaheen Taji (20 off 15) and a late surge by Muhammad Ibrahim (24 off 13) injected momentum into the innings. However, the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t capitalize, and Muhammad Usama Jamil’s effective bowling display, securing 2 wickets, limited the Institute of Architects to a total of 152/8.
Abbott, in response, started their chase with a determined approach. Despite an early wicket loss, opener Mudassir Jamshed played a pivotal inning, anchoring the innings with a well-crafted 47 off 44 balls. Muhammad Irfan (24 off 18) and Faizan Pervaiz (17 off 13) contributed valuable runs to the scoreboard. Syed Aijaz Hussain (unbeaten 12 off 9) and Adnan Lateef (unbeaten 16 off 9) calmly steered Abbott towards the target. Jawwad Ahmed and Abdul Raffay from Institute of Architects managed to pick up 2 wickets each, adding a competitive edge to the bowling performance.
