This win takes Northern to 2nd position in points table. Without any surprise Haider Ali 91*(53) has been chosen as 'Player of the Match'. That's it from this match. This is me- Rohit Yadav along with Ninaad Dixit and Ajay Ahire signing it off. Tune in to next match- Sindh vs Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in our platform.
There it is! Northern boys spoiled the party of Babar Azam who earlier scored his 6th T20 hundred and set the target of 201 but Haider Ali & Co. never made it look like a mountain to climb. First he added 84 runs with Mohammad Nawaz then Asif Ali joined the party at the end. They targetted 5th and 6th bowler in form of Usman Qadir and Husain Talat. No ball issues with Hasan Ali didn't help the cause for Central Punjab.

19.3 U Qadir to S Khan
0 Shortish length and he went for square cut and only managed it an inside edge for run
