Lions 367 for 6 (Irfan 100*, Khushdil 73, Shafique 52, Imam 51) beat Markhors 332 for 9 (Fakhar 82, Salman 69, Yamin 2-54, Daniyal 2-66, Khushdil 2-67) by 35 runs
The duo hit 12 fours and eight sixes in their 147-run partnership, off just 80 balls, as Lions breezed past 300 in the 45th over. Khushdil fell for 73 off 45, Irfan was on the same score with 20 balls to go. Irfan then went on to smash two sixes and fours each in his remaining 10 balls to reach the three-digit milestone and lift Lions to 367 for 6.
The wickets slowed Markhors down and Khushdil got Fakhar caught behind and Iftikhar caught and bowled to further derail the chase. Captain Mohammad Rizwan was run out in the 33rd over for 20 and the equation was now 176 required off 108 balls. Handy knocks from Abdul Samad (42) and Salman Agha (69) took Markhors past 300, but Aamer Yamin and Afridi dismissed the two set betters and pick another wicket each to seal the win for Lions.
