Player of the match: Jason Holder "Was a great start and great chase, nice to have some fun in Pakistan, we stick to particular process, it paid off in shape of wickets, yorker was my favourite wicket as it swung in a bit as well".

Holder was the star with the ball took 4 wickets and given away 26 runs which helped to restrict Qalandars to 139. Munro and Agha responded well with the bat and chased down that target with ease, scored 59* and 41* each.

That is the end of the match. Defending champions started off their campaign in fine style, won their opening game by 8 wickets.
