Commentator: Rvel Zahid
Wahab Riaz's stunning 28 off nine deliveries made light work of the 163-run chase as he clubbed four sixes to swing the momentum in Central Punjab's (CP) favour. CP kept losing their wickets at regular intervals but it was only a matter of one big innings to get back on the rails and that knock came from the bat of Wahab Riaz. Faheem Ashraf's 27 off 15 kept them in the hunt. Balochistan have failed twice in a row while defending a target. They lacked the finishing touches yesterday and today as their bowlers let them down again in the final overs. The slow ball bouncers didn't work against Wahab, some fielding lapses and not going for the yorker option at the death has been the weak link for Balochistan.
Thanks for joining us today. We'll be back tomorrow. From Rvel Zahid, it's goodbye for now.
