KARACHI, March 17: Karachi Zebras succumbed to their fifth successive Gold League defeat in the National One-day Regional tournament when they went down to Sialkot Stallions by four wickets on Friday.
The Stallions are all but through to Wednesday’s final meeting with old foes Faisalabad Wolves, thanks to a fine all-round performance by Shahid Yousuf.
Shahid followed a two-wicket haul with a blazing 113 as the Stallions reached their target of 280 in the 46th over. He hit nine fours and one six in his 125-ball knock.
