Having won the toss, Rashid Khan led Band-e Amir Dragons batted first and posted 144/8 in 20 overs. Afsar Zazai’s 35 and Nasir Jamal’s 33 were the notable batting contributions for the Dragons as they set 145 for Tigers to win.

Dragons’ Mujeeb ur Rahman, who was declared Man of the Match later, bowled brilliantly taking 2 wickets at a miser economy rate of 3 runs per over.

Speenghar Tigers could manage 129/7 in the allotted 20 overs conceding the match by 15 runs. They will play their next match tomorrow against Bost Defenders while Band-e Amir Dragons will face the defenders on 14th in the last match of the league stage.
