Al Manal Development needed to thank Rashid Sajjad (39) and Nasim Khan (26) for offering some resistance to the charged-up Eurocon attack. Eurocon, in reply, raced to the victory target in just 17.5 overs with Safdar smashing a blistering 74. He was well assisted by Nasir Aziz who contributed a solid 37 to the total.

With Vinay and Sujit sharing seven wickets, Mahek did well to restricted United Arab Bank to 162 for nine and then achieved the challenging victory target in 17.5 overs. Sujit rounded off a fine all-round performance by smashing a solid 55. Arun (54) and Rajesh (49) further made things easier for Mahek CC.
