NIKHIL: So, we are done here with Northern winning the game by 1 run. High octane drama right at the end and it was a direct hit by Amin from the deep that decided the fate of this game in favor of Northern.
Northern started off in a scintillating manner as both the openers took over the bowlers straight away. Northern managed to score 57 for no loss in the powerplay. Nazir and Huraira batted well together for the First wicket partnership as they added 132 runs together. At one point 200 looked like a walk in the park but the bowlers of Sindh pulled it back nicely for them. Huraira was the top scorer as he smashed 86 runs in just 52 deliveries.
For Sindh, Anwar, Ahmed, Mahmood, and Ayub took a wicket each.
In
reply to the target set by Northern, Sindh started off in an aggressive manner
as well as they scored 56 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Ayub and Sharjeel
smashed the bowlers all around the park scoring a quick-fire partnership of 19
runs. Sharjeel and Ayub departed in the powerplay itself scoring 18 and 16
respectively. It was then up to Omair and Saud Shakeel who built up a good partnership
of 60 runs that saw them get closer to the total set by Northern. The target proved a bit too much for Sindh as they lost too many wickets in the process and the wicket of Ali in the last over proved to be crucial. Saud Shakeel was
the top scorer for them as he scored 70 runs.
After 240 deliveries and 379 runs, it was the throw from Amin on the last delivery of this game that decided the game in favor of Northern as they defeated Sindh by 1 run.
For Northern, Shinwari, and Mubasir took a couple of wickets each while Tanvir and Zaman Khan took a wicket each.
