Tigers put down after falling for 46

Multan Tigers could not recover from being bowled out for 46 in the first innings, as they crumbled to an innings defeat against Karachi Dolphins inside three days. Tigers, having been inserted, were dismissed in 13.5 overs, with only one batsman managing double-digit scores. Six batsmen fell for ducks, and the team's second-highest source of runs came from the 10 extras, as Mir Hamza led Dolphins' attack with 6 for 16, while Adeel Malik collected 4 for 21.

Dolphins immediately followed it up with a strong batting performance, as Rameez Raja (82), Yasir Mushtaq (62), Mohammad Waqas (68) and Babar Hussain (50) all raised fifties to push the score to 450, earning them a massive lead of 404. Tigers fared better in their second essay, but it still wasn't enough to Dolphins bat again. Gulraiz Sadaf top-scored with 82 and Abdul Rehman Muzammil chipped in with 66, but nobody else was able to cross 26, as Tigers were bowled out for 222, meaning that Dolphins won by an innings and 182 runs. Shahzaib Ahmed was the pick of Dolphins' bowlers in the second innings, taking 5 for 53, while Hamza and Malik shared four wickets between them.

First innings tons from Jamaluddin and Akbar Badshah, and a 12-wicket match haul from Taj Wali sent Peshawar Panthers on their way towards a comprehensive nine-wicket victory against Lahore Lions at the Gaddafi Stadium. Batting first, Lions were blown away by a seven-wicket haul from Wali (7 for 63) and dismissed for 221, with only Raza Ali Dar (51) and Saad Nasim (71) managing to compile half-centuries.

Panthers, in reply, got to 345 to bat themselves into a dominant position. Jamaludding struck one four and seven sixes during his 116- his second century in four games, while Badshah's 117 included 10 fours, as Panthers earned a lead of 124. Wali once again did not allow Lions to settle in their second innings, as he claimed 5 for 58 to complete a career-best haul of 12 for 121. Lions were bowled out for a below-par 166, meaning that Panthers needed only 43 to win.

They chased down that total in 7.2 overs, thanks to a 44-run stand between Musadiq Ahmed and Adil Amin.
