KARACHI: Opener Hamza Ghanchi bludgeoned a hurricane century as Pakistan Navy whipped Hinopak Motors by 10 wickets to record their second win in the final round of the 21st Hinopak Trophy KCCA Inter-departmental Cricket League at the RLCA Gulberg Ground on Tuesday.

Batting first, Hinopak Motors were all out for 150 in 40.2 overs with Zia-ul-Haq hitting run-a-ball 49 with six sixes and Mustafa Ali making 46 that included six boundaries.

Slow left-armer Imran Ali captured three wickets for 33 runs while Raza-l-Hasan, Moazzam Malik and Rommel Ahmed Shahzad took two apiece.

Pakistan Navy, in reply, knocked off the required runs in just 16.5 overs as they raced to 151 without loss.

Hamza was the standout performer as the first-class Karachi batsman blasted 13 boundaries and five sixes in a buccaneering 57-ball innings of 106. Abdul Latif Junejo hit three fours to make 31.

On Wednesday, the formidable K-Electric cricketers meet Saudi Cricket International at the RLCA Gulberg Ground. Summarised scores:

HINOPAK MOTORS 150 in 40.2 overs (Zia-ul-Haq 49, Mustafa Ali 46; Imran Ali 3-33, Raza-ul-Hasan 2-16, Moazzam Malik 2-19, Rommel Ahmed Shahzad 2-25); PAKISTAN NAVY 151-0 in 16.5 overs (Hamza Ghanchi 106 not out, Abdul Latif Junejo 31 not out).
