Vital Group batted first at Dow University this past Sunday. Openers Ali Abbas and Waseem were handy with the bat providing a solid foundation for their side knocking 25 and 37 runs respectively. One down Masroor Ahmed capitalized on their decent start with scoring 30 off just 15 at an explosive strike rate of 200. Hamza Ahmed's 33 off 26 propelled their side to 189 for 7 in 20 overs.

Bankers XI lost opener Shahzaib cheaply but it was smooth sailing after that. Arshad Hussain scored 42, partnered with Rana Abdul Razzaq's impressive 52 which included 5 boundaries and 4 sixes. The man of the hour however was M. Waseem who scored 64 off just 36 including 6 sixes but his knock was in vain as Vital Groups's bowlers held back the opposition and clinched victory in the last over. Waseem, Talha, Sadat and Atiq took 1 wicket each.
Vital Group won by 6 runs.
