the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sialkot-c842 Stallions’ winning streak to an end.

Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gulraiz-Sadaf-c60866
was eventually swept off the pitch by Adeel Maik, and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Anwar-c87864 (2) followed soon afterwards, trapped lbw by Naved-ul-Hasan in the 12th over.
The 13th over saw Adeel Malik sending both http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohaib-Maqsood-c90627 and Aamer Yamin (1) back to the pavilion, but Naved Yasin anchored the team’s innings, and drove it forward with an unbeaten 34. His 6th-wicket partnership with Kashif Naved
(20) yielded 54 runs, and got the team total up to 135, after which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rizwan-Haider-c2329 (10*) got the Tigers up to a final total of 155 by
the end of 20 overs.
Player of the Match http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Irfan-c76983, all of whom picked up one wicket each.

Naved (13*) chipped in with supporting performances. However, their solitary efforts went in vain as their team total amounted to a mere 113 by the end of 20 overs, with the Tigers securing a comfortable 42-run victory.
