Set a target of 239, PQA’s chase revolved around Manzoor’s 110-ball 115 with three sixes and 13 boundaries as they made 241 for six in 43.2 overs. Umar Amin chipped in with 32, while Asad Ali took two wickets.
Earlier, SNGPL posted 238 for seven in their 50 overs with Azhar Ali missing out on a century as he was dismissed for 95 while Mohammad Rizwan scored 82. Mohammad Talha and Amin both bagged two wickets apiece.
