Karachi Blues 252 (Akbar 95, Waqar 5-56) and 10 for 0 beat Peshawar 166 (Tariq 4-43, Tanvir 3-83) and 95 (Tanvir 5-47, Tabish 5-48) by 10 wickets
Scorecard
Karachi Blues skittled Peshawar in the second innings within 22 overs to complete a 10-wicket win and take the top position in Group I with 12 points. After taking an 86-run lead in the first innings, Karachi fast bowlers Tanvir Ahmed and Tabish Khan ran through the Peshawar batting on the second day to bowl them out for 95. The batsmen took less than two overs to overhaul the target and pick up nine points for the win.
Tanvir triggered the collapse when he picked up Peshawar opener Mohammad Fayaz off the first ball of the innings. There wasn't much resitance after that, as the two bowlers shared five wickets each. The five wickets took Tanvir's tally to eight for the match.
Karachi, after choosing to field on the first day, had run through Peshawar in the first innings too. The batsmen weren't allowed to settle as regular wickets tumbled. Only two Peshawar batsmen - Sajjad Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan - scored more than 30 and the team folded for 166. In response, Karachi collapsed to 119 for 7 and were in danger of conceding a first-innings lead. But an unbeaten 96 by Akbar-ur-Rehman helped them take a decisive lead. Waqar Ahmed, who took 5 for 56, and Riaz Afridi, 3 for 99, were the successful bowlers.
