The bankers restricted Fly Emirates to 209 and knocked off the winning runs in 33.3 overs, thanks to an unbroken 116-run stand between Mohammed Adnan and Usman Saleem.

Adnan stroked a top score of 70 not out for his side to resurrect their inning when they were 97 for four.

He hit nine fours and three sixes, and Saleem chipped in a useful 45 not out, as the pair took the team’s total past the Fly Emirates total in 33.3 overs.

Zahid Shah and Naeem Khan did the early damage by claiming three wickets each while Arshad Ali (51) and Saby Fernandes (56) were the only two batsmen to chip in with useful contributions to the Fly Emirates total.
