KARACHI: Fine batting by Shaharyar Ghani and Fazal Subhan set the foundation of Pakistan CC’s comprehensive 112-run victory over Royal CC that helped them reach the quarter-finals of the All-Karachi Mohammad Zameer Khan Memorial Cricket Tournament at the Hill Park Ground here the other day.

The left-handed Shaharyar struck 60 with the aid of six sixes and two fours, while Fazal hit six boundaries and a brace of sixes in making 64 as Pakistan CC posted 195-6 in their allotted 20 overs.

Sajjad Ali claimed three wickets for 43 runs.

Royal CC, in reply, were shot out for 83 in the 14th over. Off-spinner Junaid Ilyas wrecked their hopes with excellent figures of four for 18, while slow left-armer Fawad Khan bagged three wickets for only seven runs.
