That's it from the coverage of this match. This is me- Rohit along with Ninaad and Ajay signing it off. Stay tuned for coverage of next match to be played between Balochistan and Central Punjab.
Tayyab Tahir has been chosen as 'Player of The Match' for his 78(48)
So that's that. Southern Punjab finished their campaign on a high. This is their 3rd win in this tournament in 10 games. On the other side Khyber Pakhtunkhwa did well to go close to the target which means it didn't damage their net run rate too much which might be decisive factor if Balochistan wins their remaining two matches. Target of 194 was always mountain to climb for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and losing 3 wickets at starting made it even tougher. Partnership between Kamran Ghulam and Nabi Gul kept them in the game. Specially Nabi Gul was in top form but losing both of them in space of 6 balls shut the gates for them. Iftikhar tried a bit at the end but it was too little too late. Earlier in the day Southern Punjab set a huge total with the help of fine knock by Tayyab Tahir. Azam Khan and Aamer Yamin played good comeos to give them good finish.
