Numbers took to the crease first and despite losing an early wicket, they managed to put up a respectable total. Opener Sheraz Chuhan was the star of the innings, crafting a well-constructed 52 runs off 41 deliveries. Raza Farooqi contributed with 18 runs off 15, while Rasheed Ahmed added an explosive 33 runs off just 14 balls. Khalil Ahmed played a crucial role in the later stages, scoring an unbeaten 41 off 31, providing a late boost to the total. However, the rest of the batting lineup couldn’t quite match their efforts. Zeeshan Siddique was the standout bowler for NBPIANS, claiming 2 wickets, while several others chipped in with a wicket each. Numbers managed to post a competitive total of 163/7.
Chasing the target, NBPIANS faced early setbacks, losing four wickets quickly. Muhammad Khaliq Uz Zaman was the lone batsman who put up notable resistance, scoring 26 runs off 28 balls. However, the Numbers’ bowling attack was relentless, and the rest of the NBPIANS’ batting lineup struggled to cope. Salman Ali was the chief architect of NBPIANS’ downfall, securing an impressive 4 wickets. Aamir Abbas provided valuable support with 2 wickets, while WASIF WAHEED, Umer Hussain, Darain Faraz, and Irfan Ali Qasmi each picked up a wicket. NBPIANS were eventually bowled out for 108 runs in 17.3 overs, and Numbers clinched a convincing victory by a substantial margin of 55 runs in a well-contested match.
