KARACHI: An unbeaten 81 by Mohammad Sarwar Afridi highlighted the second day of the sixth round of the President’s Trophy Grade-I on Thursday, as rain disrupted play at other venues.

At the LCCA Ground in Lahore, Oil and Gas Development Company (OGDCL) resumed their first innings at 239-5 and reached 320-5 in 100 overs against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines (SNGPL) by stumps. Sarwar remained unbeaten on 81 off 176 balls, hitting 11 fours, while Mohammad Hammad Khan was not out on 46.

No play was possible on the second day of the match between Ghani Glass and Kingsmen Academy at the Rana Naveed Cricket Academy in Sheikhupura due to rain. Ghani Glass remained at their overnight score of 273-4, with Hashim Ibrahim unbeaten on 132.

Meanwhile, the four-day match between MIT Solutions and State Bank of Pakistan at the Diamond Cricket Ground in Islamabad ended in a draw after rain washed out the final day’s play.
