Khyber Pakhtunkhwa vs Southern Punjab
Batting first, Khyber lost Ashfaq Ahmed (7) early. However, Waqar Ahmed and Sahibzada Farhan (44) were terrific adding 88 runs for the second wicket and providing stability to the team.
The dismissal of Farhan opened the floodgates for the Southern team, as they soon reduced Khyber to 163/8. The unbeaten knock of 134 off 218 balls from Waqar Ahmed and tail-enders' support helped them post 240 on the board. Mohammad Ilyas was the pick of the bowlers with four scalps.
In response, Southern are at 48/3 at end of Day 1, with Agha Salman and Ali Usman at the crease.
