All Rounders Set Up Arshad CC Victory

Arshad CC batted first against All Star Renegades with their top order being ripped apart. With scored of 0,1 and 1, the side were reeling at 2 runs for 3 wickets before dynamic duo Ejaz Shah and Shahid Ali stepped in to save the day. Ejaz Shah scored 50 off 32 balls while Shahid contributed a very valuable 56 off 48 that pulled their side back in the game. Ali Haider also chipped in with 21 runs as Arshad CC ended at 149 for 6 in 20 overs. All Star bowlers started off strong but couldn't break up the partnership and capitalize any further. M. Ali was the key wicket taker for his side with 2 scalps while Hasnain, Danish, Mamoon and Ahnaf took a wicket each. 

In response, All Star Renegades were off to a shaky start after losing opener Asad for duck and Zulfiqar shortly after for just 6 runs. Faiz tried to provide some relief with his cameo of 17 runs but it was Ajdal Aziz's 37 and Junaid's 48 that gave their side a real chance in the chase. Arshad bowlers however did well to keep the pressure on, picking up wickets consistently, not giving the batting side much room to score. Eventually, Faisal's 3 wickets and 2 wickets by Sohaib Ejaz and Ejaz Shah helped their side restrict All Star Renegades to 132 for 9 in 20 overs. Sadly 2 crucial run outs and 4 of the subsequent batsmen being dismissed in single digits was the cause of the collapse. 

Arshad CC won by 18 runs.
