Commentary

That's it for the coverage of this game. This is me- Rohit Yadav along with Ninaad Dixit and Ajay Ahire signing it off. Tune in to our coverage of next game- Northern vs Southern Punjab.

Hussain Talat has been chosen as 'Player of The Match' for his 68*(52).

So that's that. A cruising 8 wicket win for Central Punjab. Target of 129 was never going to be enough and some sloppy fielding and dropped catch didn't help the cause for Sindh. Earlier Sindh got two lucky breakthroughs in form of Akmal and Shehzad but Hussain Talat and Shoaib Malik hadn't much difficulty to chase this modest total. Earlier in the day, Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali broke the back of Sindh's innings in powerplay itself. After losing 4 wickets in the powerplay, Sindh was always chasing the game. Though a fighting knock by skipper Sarfaraz gave them something to play for but it wasn't enough in this good batting track. With this win, Central Punjab have reached to top of the table.

15.4 A Ali to S Malik

4 Short of a length and slower on the off stump, Shoaib Malik pulls it in the gap towards cow corner and seals yet another victory for Central Punjab! Their fifth this season! They are now the number one ranked team on the points table!

15.4 A Ali to S Malik

WD Tries to bowl the out swinging yorker on the stumps but misses his line. Pitches it down the leg side, Sarfaraz does well to catch the ball behind the stumps. Wide ball is the singal by the umpire.

15.3 A Ali to H Talat

1 Lower full toss outside the off stump, driven straight to backward point to rotate the strike.

15.2 A Ali to H Talat

4 Short and slower delivery on the leg stump, hooked towards the gap in the fine leg region and gets another four! Just one shot away now

15.1 A Ali to S Malik

1 Short delivery on the stumps, pulled away in the deep for a single.

Anwar Ali is back in the attack, he conceded 9 runs in his first over, and that's the number of runs CP require now.
