However, Ahmed Shehzad held fort and helped his team make it past the finishing line with one ball to spare. Shehzad scored an unbeaten century, helping Central Punjab emerge victorious.

Pitch Report
The strip at Multan Cricket Ground has remained loyal to batsmen so far in the tournament. All the matches that have been played on this track have seen huge totals, and we can expect a high scoring game on Saturday as well.
Though batsmen have enjoyed most of the success, the bowlers cannot be disregarded at this pitch. The bowlers should be able to get the ball to move in the initial overs of the game. A complete 40 overs game is on the cards with no rain interruptions expected tomorrow.
