It turned out to be a humdinger between the two evenly matched sides and in the end, it was the Edex Knights who prevailed by 3 runs in a thriller. Muhammad Ajmal and Jaspal Singh got their team off to a good start. Akmal smashed 14 runs in the opening over to lay the foundation but the scoring rate kept coming down as the overs progressed. Jaspal and Muhammad Qasim were dismissed for 9 and 7 respectively but Ajmal was still out in the middle and looked set to take them over the finish line.
Anil Qadir came out with a positive frame of mind and smashed three sixes in his first five deliveries. He turned the game around with some exceptional blows but in the end, it didn't prove enough. Ajmal couldn't quite get the boundaries going at the rate he would have liked. He was eventually dismissed on 46 off 27 deliveries which included 5 fours and 3 sixes. The match went down to the wire but in the end, it was a couple of superb final overs which handed the Edex Knights a 3-run victory.
