RAWALPINDI, Jan 12: Upcoming pace bowler Anwar Ali Khan grabbed a career-best six for 54 to help Karachi Harbour bowl out Rawalpindi for 175 in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy Gold League fixture at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Rawalpindi, who lost the toss, in fact made a great recovery after being 51 for seven at one stage. Tail-enders Sohail Tanvir (56, eight fours) and Sajid Mahmood (42, three fours) added 96 for the eighth wicket to lift their side from the brink of disaster.

Karachi Harbour reached 35-2 at stumps.
