KARACHI: Prolific scorer Ahad Javeri guided his team Karachi District South Whites to an overwhelming 50-21 victory over district Central to win the National Bank of Pakistan Cup basketball tournament at the Arambagh floodlit court on Friday night.

Javeri was quick in scoring and single-handedly led his side from the front in the final that unfortunately turned out to be one-sided affair.

Mahad Tariq was the only player who finished in double figures for losers with 12. Tashfeen contributed four.

The winners earned a purse of Rs15,000 while the losers received Rs7,000.

Javeri was declard Man of the Match while Mahad emerged Highest Scorer. Talha Amjad earned the consolation prize. The trio received a sum of rupees one thousand apiece.

Shakeel Ahmed, Commissioner Appealant and Khalid Khan, Sindh Sports and Youth Affairs deputy secretary, graced the final.
