Navy resumed the last day on 161 for eight and were all out for 163 in 55 overs. Hamza Ghani (29) and Babar Agha (21) were the only notable scorers, while Ahmed Khan claimed three wickets.

Set a target of 119, Sindh Police had to work hard as they made 124 for seven in 51.5 overs. Wajid Ali remained unbeaten on 36 to guide his side to victory while Owais took a five-for in a losing cause.

Meanwhile, the K-Electric-SSGC affair ended in a high scoring draw in the match played at the NBP Stadium.
