Bost Defenders went past the Dragons to register 5th win

Hashmatullah Shahidi scored 42 runs off (35) balls & took 1/6 with the ball in hand as he helped his team, the Bost Defenders, to beat the Band-e-Amir Dragons by 17 runs to register 5th successive win in the Etisalat Shpageeza Cricket League 2022.

Aftab Alam decided that the Dragons would bowl first early in the morning, as they bowled well and restricted the batting-heavy Bost Defenders to 128/5 in 20 overs. Nijat Masoud 2/12 and Karim Janat 2/16 contributed largely in this regard. 

Karim Janat (24) at the top and Suliman Arabzai (20*) & Ikram Alikhil (20) at the middle started well but were not able to get their team over the line. Fazal Haq Farooqi once again did well for his team picking up a 3-wicket haul as the debutant Ahmad Zia returned with 2 wickets. 

Hashmatullah Shahidi was awarded the Player of the Match, Fazal Haq was the stylish Player, Samiullah Shinwari won the Most Sixes Award of the match whereas the debutant Ahmad Zia was adjudged as the game changer of the match with his two wickets in one over.
