Sindh started off well with Sharjeel looking in touch but CP's spinners dominated the game after the powerplay. What a brilliant bowling performance from Qasim Akram ( 3 for 15) and Zafar Gohar ( 2 for 15). There was no point in the game where Sindh batsman looked as if they can turn this around. Spinners did it for CP along with the experience of Wahab, Kamran and Shehzad in their side. Chasing a total of 142 in 20 overs, CP batsman started off good and maintained the performance throughout. Kamran Akmal who was being talked about his form scored a cruicial 50 and Ahmed Shehzad who was just one run short of his half century contributed to Central Punjab's victory as well. A good cricketing show from the CP players to enter the final of National T20. All eyes will be on the final now, it's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa taking on Central Punjab.
This is Rishabh Gandhi along with Ninaad Dixit and Ajay Ahire, signing off!
A dominating performance from Central Punjab here. On one hand where things were looking so difficult for Sindh, Central Punjab made it look as if it was a walk in the park. A comfortable win for CP to enter the finals.
