Pursuing 178 for a win, Boost Defenders started steadily but lost important wickets at regular intervals. Wasim Akram kept the innings together with a composed 56 from 46 deliveries but did not have consistent backup from the middle order. Skipper Najibullah Zadran top-scored with a quick 26 from 19, whereas Bilal Ahmad Tarin chipped in with a quicker 17, but the rest of the team failed under pressure. In bowling, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman's 2/14 and Khalil Gurbaz's 2/16 were decisive in strangulating the run flow. Defenders failed by 18 runs, managing 159/7 in 20 overs.
