WAPDA’s bowlers had started the day well, dismissing overnight batsmen Yasir Shah and Iftikhar Ahmed within the first four overs. The tailenders offered some resistance, but SNGPL were bowled out for 259 in 102 overs. SNGPL then made regular inroads, also removing Zahid Mansoor and Mohammad Saad – the second highest scorer in this tournament- cheaply. Mohammad Abbas was the pick of the bowlers, hitting his lines with trademark accuracy and nipping the ball both ways. Both batsmen were removed within five balls of each other as a day that WAPDA could have otherwise claimed swung back to parity.
