    For United, only Sachin Pitre contributed with the bat, hitting 30 runs from 24 deliveries.

    Chasing, Power House got off to a strong start with Zaheer and Rizwan sharing a 93-run stand for the first wicket.

    Zaheer showed his potential with the bat, smashing 32 runs from just 21 balls in a knock that saw him hit three maximums. Rizwan went even better with a half-century, reaching 60 runs from 36 balls.

    Naveed Rafiq kept the scoreboard ticking with a valuable unbeaten 23 having faced just seven balls as Power House reached their target inside 12 overs.

    NTDE were restricted to 130-8 in their 20 overs with Muhammad Sulaiman top scoring 32 from 21 deliveries.

    Mohammad Amjad chipped in with 28 from 25 balls, while Kaleem Ullah remained unbeaten on 16 as Malik was the stand-out bowler, with figures of 3-14.

    Chasing, Marine lost wickets early on but Abid Jutt (32) and Sandip Singh (30) stabilised their innings before Asim Sheikh (24) and Sajjad Malok (21) shared an unbroken 45-run stand for seventh wicket to guide their team to victory in the last over.
