It took just 5.1 overs for the pair to knock off the winning runs, 142, after restricting Pakhtoon to 141 for nine in the allotted 25 overs. Pervaiz (66 not out) hammered eight sixes and three fours, and Shakoor (63 not out) belted five sixes and seven fours.

Zaheer Baig stroked 52 not out to lead Nissan Al Masaood to a facile nine-wicket win over Sunrise General Maintenance Company.

The opener hit seven fours and three sixes for his team to score the winning runs in 9.1 overs after Asif Butt had claimed four for 25 from his five overs to skittle out Sunrise to a paltry 81.

They were joined by William Hare Abu Dhabi Gymkhana and Abu Dhabi Airport Technicians in the semifinals.
