FAISALABAD: Mun­eeba Ali and Sadaf Shamas’ half-centuries followed by three wickets for pacer Shahar Bano led Warriors to a 35-run win over Incredibles in the third match of the PCB Women’s Super-3 T20 Tournament here at the Iqbal Stadium on Friday.

Chasing 195, the Incre­dibles were restricted to 159 all out in 19.3 overs with Gull Feroza and Eman Naseer scoring 38 runs each.
