Set to chase a massive total of 106, Emirates Blue comfortably accumulated 111 for the loss of three wickets with an over to spare, thanks to a sensational 59-run knock by Alishan Sharafu.

The opening batter struck seven boundaries and three sixes amid his match-winning effort and faced 26 deliveries before finally perishing in the seventh over when his side needed a further 16 runs in three overs.

Fahad Nawaz’s 13-ball 26 made sure a dominating victory for Emirates Blue with six balls to spare as he stitched an unbeaten 23-run partnership with skipper Ansh Tandon, who remained not out on one.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan batted sensibly up the order and remained the other notable run-getter with a 15-ball 19 with the help of three boundaries.
