The KMPL Night Tournament featured a landslide victory for the Gladiators CC over Classic XI.
Classic XI's first innings batting display had no direction right from the word go. The opening partnership unnecessarily dragged out over 27 balls with just 11 runs to show for it. Four members of the team fell for ducks and only 2 managed to cross over into double figures. Ussama Khan's 26 from 39 balls was as good as it got for Classic XI as their batting crumbled. Sufyan Butt and Awais Azeem had a field day with the ball as they ripped into the batting order. Butt picked up 4 wickets and Azeem scored 3 scalps of his own. At a devastating run rate of 3.63, Classic XI folded inside 16 overs leaving the Gladiators all of 59 runs to chase down.
The Gladiators' openers turned the second innings into a stroll in the park for their side. They took apart Classic XI's bowlers scoring at over 14 runs an over. With just 59 to get, they completed the chase inside 4.3 overs without losing a single wicket. Classic XI had no answers to the crushing onslaught.
Gladiators CC won the match by 10 wickets.
