Khan Youngsters made a modest 120 for nine as Rasmi (three for 8) and Faheem (two for 16) caused them a serious damage, despite Abrar’s fine 45 with a six and three fours. Redco powered to the victory as man-of-the-match Rasmi slammed six sixes and five boundaries to collect 77 not out in 36 balls. Marso chipped in 31 not out.

Chasing a stiff 176-run target against Lankan Knights, Farhan smashed three sixes and three boundaries to essay 50, while Raj Mohammed hit a six and three fours in his 44 to lift Zerone Technologies to a one-wicket triumph with three balls left. For the losers, Sahan had a match-high 70 with two sixes and nine boundaries in 47 balls.
Faizal’s 54 with two sixes and four boundaries and 32 by Denzil, who cracked half a dozen fours, took QF to a fighting 166 for nine. Rafaqat (36 not out), Rahman (33) and Faizan (31) played main roles in their team’s five-wicket win with just one before the finish.
