ISLAMABAD, Jan 30: Paceman Najaf Shah ran through Habib Bank batting on Monday bowling PIA to a comfortable 104-run victory on the fourth and final day of their Patron’s Trophy Quadrangular game at the KRL Stadium.

Set 297 runs for victory after PIA had declared their second innings closed at the overnight score of 315-7, Habib Bank were dismissed for 192. Najaf claimed five wickets for 40 runs to end the match with an impressive 9-100.

The bankers found Najaf too hot to handle and except for Kamran Hussain (46), no batsman could make an impression.
