Bilal Akbar however kept the momentum going with a valuable contribution of 34 runs before the duo of Muneeb Shah and Khurram Nadeem stepped in to take control of the innings. The two scored a combined 110 runs but despite a fighting display with the bat, the scoreboard pressure proved to be too much and they were unable to see their team to victory. Steel 11's bowlers were backed by a massive target and did little to stop the opposition; it all came down to the batsmen on either side. Chiniot United scored 173 in 20 overs.
