A comfortable victory in the end for Limassol Zalmi who book their places in the eliminators via this result, they needed to not lose by a bonus point instead they have won against who were the only unbeaten side in the competition, Al Fatah.
Chasing 158, Al Fatah were rocked early as they lost two wickets in the very first over. Mudassir derailed the chase within the powerplay itself as he got 3 wickets inside the first 3 overs. They were never really able to recover from that and kept losing wickets throughout their batting effort.
Waqas Akhtar, just as he was with the ball, was the only shining light with the bat for Al Fatah. He got a brilliant half-century with some big hitting towards the end but the target proved to be too steep for them as they ended up significantly short.
