Outstanding batting by Hameed Gul, Salman Akram and Aasif Sheikh in QF – RCA Memorial Tournament

Top Performers in QF

AR Sports Blue played with Lahore Badshah the quarter finals and after winning the toss, Lahore Badshah decided to bat first.

The very first ball from Hameed stunned Fahad of Lahore Badshah and he was bowled which boosted the team and they were fired up and the very next over Hamazah took the next wicket.  This created panic in Lahore dressing room instead of building partnership they lost another wicket with a great fielding by Hameed.  Hameed was on fire with pace and line and length and made it difficult for Lahore Badshah to score runs.

It was Zeeshah 31 and Sajid 68 not out played well to get them to a decent score of 172 for the loss of 6 wickets.  Khurram was retired hurt but supported with 23 runs.
