Player of the Match- Mohammad Huraira
12:17 AM IST, 11:47 PM Local Time: So, the rain has had the final say in this match and FATA would be the happier side as they won by a razor-thin margin of 2 runs according to the DLS method. The match was evenly poised but unfortunately, we missed out on the high-scoring thriller. 

Earlier, after deciding to bat first in the rain-curtailed 15-over game, Sialkot Region got off to a rollicking start from the word go as Mohammad Huraira provided them with an electrifying start. Huraira and Mirza Tahir Baig added 93 runs for the first wicket, with Tahir departing for 40 runs off 29 balls. Huraira paired up with his uncle Shoaib Malik and continued his carnage in Karachi. Shoaib played a brisk innings of 23 runs off 15 balls, while Huraira carried his bat, scoring 71 runs and helping his side post a mammoth 151/3 in the allotted 15 overs. 

Shahid Aziz bagged a couple of wickets for FATA, while Khushdil Shah celebrated a solitary wicket. 

In pursuit of a hefty 151 runs, FATA got off to a solid start, Rehan Afridi kicking off the chase with a massive six over deep mid-wicket and providing a solid start to FATA. Afridi and Samiullah Jnr scored at a rapid pace on the powerplay and brought up the team fifty in just 4 overs. However, Usman Khalid trapped Afridi for 29 runs off 16 balls and ceased the 53-run opening stand. 

Salman Khan joined Samiullah in the middle and started building the partnership. Sialkot managed to slow down the scoring rate as the pair were finding it difficult to hit boundaries. The game was evenly poised at 77/1 in 8.3 overs when rain returned to the venue and the play had to be stopped.  Due to persistent rain, the match was abandoned and FATA won by a mere 2 runs according to the DLS method. 
ABANDONED! The match has been abandoned, and FATA won by 2 runs according to DLS. 
The latest we are hearing is FATA is 2 runs ahead according to DLS previously it was one run but the latest confirmation is they are 2 runs ahead. 
11:57 PM IST, 11:27 Local Time: The rain is getting a bit heavier now. The umpire has asked the groundsmen to bring on the covers. The players trudge off the field. FATA are 1 run ahead according to DLS at the moment.
