Scorecard
Aizaz Cheema's ten-wicket match haul set up a crushing win for Lahore Shalimar against Karachi Whites. Shalimar bowled out Whites for well under 200 twice in the game, ensuring the comfortable win.
Whites had chosen to bat, but could manage only 170 in their first innings, with only Fawad Alam making any contribution of note. He made 53, as Cheema ran through the middle and lower order to claim 6 for 62. Then, Shalimar's top order all got into double digits to make sure they took charge. They finished with a lead of 84, which was amplified when their bowlers knocked over both Whites' openers for ducks in their second gig.
Whites were still trailing by 30 runs when they started the third day, with four wickets already lost. As soon as they took a lead, wickets started tumbling again and they lost their last six wickets for 47 runs, finishing all out for 142. Zia-ul-Haq got rid of both the set batsmen - Saad Ali and Saeed Bin Nasir - and only three of them reached double figures.
Lahore Shalimar achieved their target of 59 without losing a wicket and took nine points from the match.
