National Foods set a strong batting platform, posting 171/7 courtesy of Azeem H’s dynamic 55 off 39 balls and Raheel Ghani’s rapid 34 from 15 deliveries. Abdullah Saeed Qureshi provided a bright start with 31 off 22, while Sumair Baig chipped in with 26 off 21, helping the side push on despite regular breakthroughs by Arif Khan and Ibad Masood.
Reckitt And Benckiser Pakistan responded with a decent chase, anchored by Ibad Masood’s aggressive 48 off 33 and contributions from Rehan Aziz 23 off 22 and Ali Salman Wazir Ali 18 off 19. However, the National Foods bowling unit struck at key moments, led by Raheel Ghani and Sumair Baig who picked up two wickets each, while Abdul Rehman closed out with 2 scalps late in the innings.
Unable to build decisive partnerships, Reckitt And Benckiser Pakistan lost wickets at intervals and were eventually bowled out for 144 in 19.2 overs. National Foods registered a convincing 27 run victory.
