With this win, Northern have climbed to the top of the table and made it to the semifinal while Balochstan are languishing at the fifth spot with six points.

Congratulations to Northern and commiserations to Balochistan who end up on the losing side after an exhilarating contest. Balochistan put up a competitive total of 185 but were let down by their bowlers as Amad Butt bled plenty of runs in his spell and Junaid Khan conceded 15 in the last over.

Abdullah Shafique played a blistering knock of 73 off 44 balls while Imam-ul-Haq continued on his merry way and thumped a brisk half-century. In reply, Northern's Ali Imran laid the platform with his magnificent 64-run-knock that was laced with three fours and five sixes. Thereon, Zeeshan Malik hit a valiant half-century that kept them in the hunt. An enthralling game today that regaled the fans.

'I worked really hard during the off-season which is helping me on the ground. If your fitness is good then you are able to perform well. I have tried to keep myself composed and I didn't let negativity come to me despite not getting opportunities earlier. Positive vibes from my family helped me and I was keen on grabbing the opportunity today,'' said Player of the Match Ali Imran.

This is Rvel Zahid saying goodbye.
