Asif was ably supported by his teammates Javed Butt (35 runs) and Kaleem (30 runs). A strong batting performance meant the Seven Seas put up a total of 232 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. None of the Eleven CC bowlers were particularly impressive, with Mansoor, Atiq, Ahmed, Marlin, Qadir, NaeemUllah taking one wicket each.
