91* (55)

Take a bow, Basit Ali! He has been in stellar form in this tournament and scored a fluent unbeaten knock of 91 today in the crucial match. The highest-run scorer of PJL is definitely one for the future. Royals have romped to the victory and chased down 133 with 31 balls in the tank. Earlier, the Warriors scrapped their way to 132/9 and kept losing wickets at regular intervals which prevented them from scoring a competitive total. Arham Nawab used his cunning spinning methods and chipped in with two wickets, conceding only 21 runs in his spell while Obaid Shahid and Mohammad Zeeshan took two wickets apiece. Do join us tomorrow for the final between Bahawalpur Royals and Gwadar Sharks. Until next time this is Rvel Zahid signing off.
