Renegades batted first against Medicam at the Power Play Express Season 2 Final. The team however struggled to keep their wickets intact and the scoreboard ticking with their line up throwing away their wickets cheaply. Ahmed Asif’s 25 and a 24 run cameo by Saad Faisal were the only notable contributions for their side as Medicam bowlers did well to pick wickets and keep the pressure on. Renegades were restricted to a modest 109 for 7 in 20 overs. The Medicam bowling unit did well to chip in with each player effectively contributing.
In response, Medicam had a similar start to their chase after losing opener Junaid Khaleel for duck. The team seemed to falter after that, losing wickets regularly but with a low total to chase were able to scrape through. Abdul Basit’s 20 and Umer Chawla’s 25 helped keep the scoreboard ticking but it was really Muneeb Ur Rehman’s innings that helped their side to victory. Muneeb scored 34 off 38 balls as Medicam chased down the target in 19.1 overs. Renegades bowlers did well to try and fight their way back in the game with the bowlers putting on a dominant display. Abdul Rehman Rafiq took 3 wickets while Hamza Bhatti picked up a wicket in an outstanding spell which gave almost nothing away. Unfortunately the side were at least 15 runs short and were unable to defend the total.
Medicam won by 3 wickets and took home the cup.
