LAHORE,Feb 1: Four wickets by leg-spinner Mansoor Amjad helped National Bank of Pakistan gain a five-wicket win against PTCL in a Patron’s Trophy Grade-I tie at Sheikhupura Stadium on Wednesday.

PTCL, who had conceded 88-runs lead could set a winning target of 170 for NBP after being all out for 257 in the second innings as they resumed at 5-131.

Asim Kamal, who scored 95 in the first innings, scored his second fifty of the match (52 not out) and with Muhammad Hussain (40), added 77 runs in the seventh-wicket stand but it went in vain. Shahzad Malik also contributed 51 with seven fours and one six.
