Unilever Pakistan batted first and posted a competitive total of 186 runs for the loss of five wickets in their 20 overs. Khurram Ali anchored the middle order with a steady 44 off 36 balls, while Shahroz provided a massive late-innings boost, smashing an unbeaten 37 off just 12 deliveries at a strike rate of over 300. Friesland Campina Engro’s bowling effort was spearheaded by Sarim and Abid Qadri, who both picked up two wickets apiece to keep the scoring somewhat in check during the middle phase of the innings.
Chasing a target of 187, Friesland Campina Engro displayed an aggressive batting approach to stay ahead of the required run rate throughout the chase. Sarim followed up his effective bowling performance with a brilliant unbeaten half-century, scoring 62 runs off 34 balls to anchor the pursuit. He was well-supported by Maaz Patel, who gave the team a lightning start with 36 runs off 15 balls, and Naveed Samad, who chipped in with a crucial 28. Despite Brenton Bernard’s impressive bowling spell of 3 for 29 and Abdur Rehman’s two wickets for Unilever Pakistan, the opposition’s batting depth proved too strong.
The match reached its conclusion in the 18th over as Friesland Campina Engro successfully chased down the target with three wickets to spare.
