A subtle performance on both sides of the pitch led the Malir XI straight to victory.

Malir XI didn't like too good at the start of the first innings with their opening pair. The player's were either out of luck or out form, because one Shebab was sent back after scoring 5 runs and Muneeb scored 19 runs and then took his wicket down himself by getting a hit wicket.
