Premium Paks thrash Premium Afghans
Premium Paks bowled out Premium Afghans for 98 in just 14.2 overs after the whole bowling unit collectively took charge. Nicholson Ekwart and Fayyaz Butt were the most economical bowlers. Nicholson and Umar Ali Khan picked two wickets each, while Fayyaz, Umer Farooq-I and Naqash Ali added one scalp apiece to decimate the Afghans batting order.
Paks openers Zeeshan Ashraf and Nicholson Ekwart were spot on with their free-flowing approach as they reached the minuscule score in 39 balls itself.
