Only Mohammad Ajmal (29) and Salman Faris (16) could get into double figures. Shahzhad was the wrecker-in-chief with figures of 3-9 in 3.2 overs. He was removed after bowling couple of dangerous deliveries.

In reply, Active IT batsmen also struggled against the Yogi attack. Kamran (3 for 24), Ajmal (1) and Nasir (2 for 13) tried their best to check the rival’s batting line-up, where only Ashraf (34 runs, 12b, 6x4, 4x1) was able to score freely. After his departure, Yogi had a chance but captain Parvez and Naeemulla played sensible cricket to guide the team to victory. secure win to lead the group.
