| Report : In a restricted game of 43 overs each due to the rain, both sides made heavy weather of the batting on a bouncy pitch. Hirwani and Adnan were both able to getting sharp turn on a bowler friendly wicket. Only Lever pro, Ashraf managed to tame the wicket when batting and his fine disciplined spell of bowling ensured the Lever had the edge in a tight fought, exciting match. |
