KARACHI: Off-spinner Rizwan Khan excelled with a match-winning spell as K-Electric trounced Brothers CC by nine wickets to storm into the semi-finals of the 29th Karachi Gymkhana Omar Associates Ramazan Cricket Festival here on Tuesday.

Brothers CC’s decision to bat first in the second quarter-final backfired as the Dadu-based side struggled to 97-9 with only Imtiaz Leghari making a significant contribution. He scored 28 off 22 balls with one six and one four.

Man-of-the-match Rizwan, bowling to a probing length, wrecked the middle-order batting with four wickets for just 11 runs in for overs.

Behram Khan, who struck an unbeaten 44 (off 40 balls with four boundaries) and Faraz Ali (42 off 31, three fours and two sixes) then put on 74 for the first wicket before K-Electric completed the last rites by making 98-1 at the start of the 14th over.

Summarised scores:

BROTHERS CC 97-9 in 20 overs (Imtiaz Leghari 28; Rizwan Khan 4-11); K-ELECTRIC 98-1 in 13.1 overs (Behram Khan 44 not out, Faraz Ali 42).

Wednesday’s fixture: Soni Associates vs Advance Telecom (third quarter-final).
