Batting first, Gold Bridge Media were off to a decent start as Kamran Hussain and Mukhtar Ahmed scored 12 and 23 runs respectively.

IMI Omar started there chase in the most disappointing way as they lost opening batsman Irfan for a duck. This innings was a mix of brilliant display of batting and equally dismal display of batting. From one end runs kept flowing while from the other end we saw the opposite. Nadeem was the best batsman of the game as he played an outstanding knock of 94 runs which came off in just 61 balls. He was unfortunate in many ways as he received no support from his fellow batsmen, missed his century by 6 runs and was unable to steer his team towards victory. Kamil Khan took 2 wickets for just 10 runs and his fellow bowlers Abdul Waheed, Nasir and Mukhtar Ahmed supported him by taking a wicket each. In the end it was Gold Bridge Media who won the match by 10 runs as IMI Omar finished their innings at the score of 133 for 5.
