KARACHI, Sept 22: Sialkot scored a dramatic one-wicket win over Karachi Urban in the third round matches of the PCB Inter-regional Under-19 One-day Championship on Saturday.

After restricting Karachi Urban to 188 for nine in 50 overs, Sialkot chased down the target with just two balls to spare. Kaleem Ahmed (35) and Sultan Ahmed (6) added 18 for the unbroken match-winning partnership.

Slow left-armer Nayyar Abbas claimed four for 35 during the Urban’s innings. Only skipper Shan Masood stood out for the hosts with a 108-ball 57.

Peshawar, meanwhile, defeated Karachi Harbour with slow left-armer Jibran Khan (4-43) and Adil Amin (51) playing main roles at the TMC Ground.

Hyderabad opener Sharjeel Khan blasted 132 off 120 balls with 16 fours and four sixes to lead his side to 134-run victory over Multan at the Gymkhana Ground in Okara. Hasan Ali (80 off 92 balls, seven fours and two sixes) helped Sharjeel put on 180 for the second-wicket that eventually guided Hyderabad to 327 for five.

Quetta also achieved a creditable seven-wicket win against Lahore Shalimar in a rain-hit fixture at the LCCA Ground.

Rawalpindi suffered the humiliation of being shot out for just 26 to hand Faisalabad a 91-run win at the Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad.

Medium-pacer Mohammad Ayub returned sensational figures of five wickets for six runs in three overs as six of the Rawalpindi batsmen failed to open their account.
