2/34 (4)
Gwadar Sharks 139/10(15.1 overs)

What scenes at Gaddafi Stadium! What a match we've had, Royals completely dominated the proceedings with an imposing total on the board. Sharks got off to a flier in the power-play but the bowlers kept chipping in with wickets and derailing their chase.

Royals have played like a well-oiled machine and their mentor Imran Tahir has been sensational throughout the tournament.

Shawaiz Irfan set the tone with his staggering 79-run knock, played all around the park and decimated Sharks' bowling attack. Thereon, Tayyab Arif provided the impetus to the innings with his blistering half-century and Nangeyalia Kharote's quickfire 47 got Royals past 200.

It was a well-knit bowling performance from Royals as consistent performers Arham Nawab and Mohammad Zeeshan bowled tight lines and provided timely wickets to stack the odds in their favor. The match was heading in one direction after the prized wicket of Shamyl Hussain and as the asking rate kept climbing, wickets fell in cluster.
