S Khurram to F Khan
Scores are level!! Low full toss outside of the off stump. Khan just helps the ball to go through the left of the short third man fielder and the fielder is beaten now. The ball races away to the fence and it's a boundary.

FR won by 8 wickets
A pretty easy win in the end for Faisalabad as they romp home
with eight wickets and 4.3 overs to spare. The bowlers set-up the victory as
they restricted Bahawalpur to just 117. In chase for a below-par target, the Faisalabad
openers, Abdul Samad and Faizan Khan got off to a steady start before the former
flicked a harmless full delivery straight to the man at deep square-leg in the
fifth over.
However, Bahawalpur couldn’t make more inroads as the duo of
Faizan and Taimoor batted sensibly to eat away at the target. Faizan, in particular,
showed a superb array of shots as he reached his fifty off 37 balls in the 11th
over. With just a few more runs to achieve, Faizan got a life as he was dropped
by the long-on fielder in the 13th over. The bowler, Mohammad Junaid
eventually got some success off the final delivery in the over as he castled
Taimoor Sultan but it was too late by then. In the end, Faizan opened up and
made sure that the game was done and dusted with more than four overs
remaining.
Asif Ali(Faisalabad Captain)- "The boys performed really well. There were lots of debutants in the team and we have given them the opportunity and they cashed in.
The way we performed today we are pretty sure about qualifying to the next round. We have to improve a lot in the fielding part. Otherwise the team is in a good position
My job is to hit sixes and hopefully I will execute it in the matches in the future(On being asked if his practice of six hitting is going well or not)."
