SIXXXX! Atizaz Habib Khan charges at it and finishes the game off in style!!! Nazar tosses the ball up at the off and middle. Batter steps out of his crease and lofts the ball over long-on and the ball sails over the fielder for a massive maximum. Abbottabad wins the contest by 14 balls and 5 wickets remaining.

With the bat, 120 runs never looked threatning and gave enough room for the Abbottabad batters to build up their innings and play their A game. Sialkot bowler did pick up few wickets in the end but it was too late for them. Sajjad Ali played a mature knock of 50 off 44 balls and assured that his team stays steady.
For Sialkot, it is a good learning in the early games of the tournament and will look to improve their concerns going forward.

Outstanding Performer of the Match- Sajjad Ali
Player of the Match- Yasir Shah
Yasir Shah( Abbottabad Skipper and Player of the Match)- "Fantastic feeling. We were put to bowl up first, the boys bowled very well. I wanted to field anyway at toss (on losing the toss). A good feeling to perform well (on his bowling performance) Yes we gained a lot of confidence after winning the game in the absence of Fakhar Zaman and our senior bowlers".
Shoaib Malik(Sialkot Skipper)- "I think so (bad decision to bat first), but we still have to see our strength, our bowlers have performed well in the last game. Yes time have come to change the tactics. I prefer not giving much information to the youngsters and let them do their thing. Not really hurt as it is the early stage of the tournament. Excited for the gaming up tomorrow and we also have a few injury concerns"
