Mis Ainak Knights were undone by their own countryman as Rashid Khan led Mashonaland Eagles to rip through Mis Ainak Knights and claim 3 for 31 for himself.
Opening the bowling on a spinner's track, Rashid Khan provided Mashonaland Eagles with the perfect start by picking-up two wickets in the very first over.

Counterattacking fifties from Asghar Stanikzai and ironically Sikandar Raza saw Mis Ainak Knights get to a respectable total before eventually being bowled-out.
Liton Das also played an essential albeit overly cautious knock at the top to rejuvenate Mis Ainak Knights after Rashid Khan's double-wicket opening-over.

Hamid Hasan bowled magnificently but in vain as Mashonaland recorded a triumphant victory over the Knights, courtesy of Babar Azam's unbeaten knock of 80*.
Solomon Mire and Richmond Mutumbami were dismissed cheaply, very early on by Hamid Hasan, who also picked-up George Bailey's wicket shortly after.

He finished with figures of 3/27. Unfortunately, he was the Knights' sole wicket-taker. Lack of support from the other end meant his heroics would go in vain.
Babar Azam's unbeaten innings of 80 from 84 deliveries and an unbeaten Ben Stokes' knock of 54 from just 34 deliveries was more than enough to chase down 191.

A dominant performance that. Stokes and Azam batted beautifully. Hope we can continue this form.

As for the bowlers, everyone was superb. Rashid and Zhawi bowled beautifully in their spells and ensured us the victory!

Wooo !!! Rashid opening the bowling & taking 2 wickets in the first over . :3

All the bowlers had their hands in the contribution . Babar Azam & Captain Bailey kept the batting ticking after the fall of first 2 wickets . And a nice match practice for Stokes .... :D

Our local batsmen would be a concern moving into the tournament ....
