A really eventful game, helped on by the capriciousness rain brings with it. TTP had a below-par first innings. Despite the early wickets, Das converted his slow start to a well-made 46. He found no support though and TTP scored 83 before the rain interrupted and the innings had to be called off.
PNJ needed 64 runs to win in six overs when the match resumed and TTP made it very easy by conceding 12 runs off extras in the first two balls. Parveen and Sarwar carried on from there, enjoying a host of no-balls and wides. A couple of wickets fell at the end of the fourth over but proved to be too little too late.

Rupan Das to Adnan Ali, length ball around off-stump. Adnan gives it an almighty swing across the line but top edges to fine-leg for a couple of runs. Scores level.
Wow! Back-to-back wickets. Just when the match looked like it was done and dusted, TTP have put up a small fight.
