The Defenders scored a total of 202/6 from their 20 overs after winning the toss and opting to bat. Allah Noor (56 off 26) and Karim Janat (52 off 26) both hit quick-fire half centuries. Despite some resistance, Speen Ghar’s bowlers couldn’t contain the flow of runs, with Zahir Khan (2/34) being the most effective.

Chasing 203, the Speen Ghar Tigers struggled from the outset and were bowled out for 137 in 19.2 overs. Captain Rahmat Shah (27), Ismat Alam (25), and Fareed Ahmad Malik (21) gave momentary hope, but the Boost Defenders' clinical bowling performance meant that it was only a matter of time. Arab Gul took the key wickets up top with terrific figures of 4/14 from 3.2 overs, while Abdul Rahman Rahmani (3/33) and Karim Janat (2/37) produced excellent support.
