Band-e-Amir Dragons beat Boost Defenders by 76 runs
Right! That's all from here then! We will see you on Tuesday, 15th September, 2020 for the Qualifier 2 between Band-e-Amir Dragons and Mis-e-Ainak Knights. That game will begin at 1300 local. See you for that game. Till then, it is goodbye from our side.
Asghar Afghan is named the Man of the Match for his unbeaten 95 off 39 balls.
With the ball, it was about two people for the Dragons, Mirwais Ashraf and Waqar Salamkheil. The two combined finished with 8 wickets in their total quota and if you lose that many while chasing a mammoth total, a win is next to impossible. Overall, an extremely good performance to knock Boost Defenders out.
A comfortable win for the Dragons! To be honest, Afghan’s knock was the one that set it up for them. His knock was why the Dragons batted the Defenders out of the game. 232 was always going to be an uphill task and despite going at more than 10 runs for the over till the 9th, they were chasing the game. Karim Janat was the main man for them. He was striking it well but once he fell, wickets fell in heaps and in the end, they fell well short.
