BYJ Sports CC batted first and set a competitive target after scoring 179 runs for the loss of nine wickets in their 20 overs. The innings got off to a disastrous start as Roail Nisar dismantled the top order, finishing with exceptional figures of 4 for 36. Despite the early collapse, Waqas Ahmed and Saim Raees stabilized the innings with crucial half-centuries, scoring 55 and 51 respectively. Khan Shair also provided significant support with a quick 42, helping the team reach a formidable total despite Abdul Wahab’s disciplined bowling spell of 2 for 26.
In the second innings, Benitoz pursued the target with an aggressive intent that kept the match on a knife-edge. Owais Aslam led the charge with a brisk 38 off 24 balls, while Haider Ali Bangash contributed a vital 35 to keep the momentum going. The BYJ Sports CC bowlers fought back bravely, with Shoaib ur rehman and Saim Raees each picking up two wickets to create a tense finish. However, a series of contributions from the middle and lower order, including Ahmed Arshad’s 26 and late cameos from Mohammad Ali and Roail Nisar, ensured that the required run rate remained within reach throughout the chase.
The match reached a thrilling conclusion as Benitoz successfully chased down the target with just four balls to spare
