Faysal Islami crowned champions

In an electrifying grand final, Faysal Islami emerged victorious, defeating Numbers by 33 runs in a high-scoring contest.

Faysal Islami batted first and showcased a stellar performance. Openers Naseeb Shah scored 91 off 49 and Nabeel Khalid scored 94 off 49, laying a strong foundation with their explosive innings. Contributions from Arsalan Bashir with 17 off 10 and Farhan Shah with 25 off 10 added crucial runs towards the end, propelling their team to a mammoth total of 254 for 5. For Numbers, Salman Ali was the standout bowler, picking up 2 wickets.

Inresponse, Numbers started aggressively, with Faizan Azam smashing a quickfire 45 off just 13 balls. However, a lack of steady partnerships hurt their chase. Yawar Imam managed 22 off 26, while Shafaat Chisti contributed 34 off 20. Later, Sheraz Chuhan scored 62 off 25 and Abdul Rafay remained unbeaten on 39 off 25 in an attempt to revive the innings, but the target proved too steep. Talib Ali led Faysal Islami’s bowling attack with 3 wickets, while Tariq Murad chipped in with 2 key dismissals.

Ultimately, Faysal Islami’s balanced batting and disciplined bowling sealed a memorable 33-run victory, crowning them champions of the tournament.
