Khurram Qazi’s knock of 49 off 37 balls and Ibrahim Akhtar’s 14 off 8 balls helped the team put some runs on the board. Contributions at the bottom of the batting order from Ali Naveed (27 off 19 balls) and Akhtar Muhammad (17* off 9 balls) brought Shamooz Star to a total of 151 runs. MAA’s Shehzad Suleman bagged 3 wickets while Khurram Wahab picked up 2.
