Wapda crushed PTV by nine wickets in the President’s Cup One Day tie played at the LCCA Ground in Lahore on Wednesday.
After bowling out the opposition for 114, Wapda’s Riffatullah Mohmand (62) not out and Mohammad Fayyaz (48) not out folded the match in a mere 21.1 overs.
Earlier, PTV struggled to keep their wickets intact as they tumbled to their paltry score in just 25.4 overs. Mohammad Sami was their leading run-getter with 32 while the rest failed to cross the 20-run mark.
Meanwhile, State Bank’s match against SNGPL at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore was stopped due to fog in the 13th over.
Habib Bank’s tie against Port Qasim and National Bank’s match against KRL met the same fate. Both matches were abandoned due to bad weather.
The Marghazar Ground in Islamabad, however, witnessed more action with ZTBL rolling over United Bank with four wickets to spare.
