Staff Report

LAHORE: Muhammad Irfan with inspired second innings bowling figures of 6-96, helped Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) convincingly beat Karachi Whites by an innings and 107 runs in their third round Group A match of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy First Class Tournament at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday.

Karachi Whites after being bundled out for 87 in their first innings, were chasing 421 (KRL 508-8 declared in first innings) the second time around to avoid an embarrassing innings defeat, however, despite an improved total of 314 in their second innings (half-centuries by Shadab Kabir, Asfar Nawaz and Akbarur Rehman) they fell 107 runs short of the mark to make KRL bat again. Irfan finished with 11-123 for the match.

In Group B, at the National Ground in Islamabad, Rawalpindi beat Quetta by an innings and 192 runs. Rawalpindi bowlers, Rashid Latif (6-50) and Muhammad Ramiz (3-67), continued from where they left in the first innings – bowling out Quetta for 189 after they were following-on from their first innings total of 148. None of the Quetta batsmen managed to reach a half-century in either innings which proved to be the difference between the two teams in the end as Rawalpindi aided by Fawad Hussain (150), Baber Naeeem (117) and Naveed Qureshi (71) had amassed 529 in their only innings earlier.

The action continues on Sunday (today), the fourth and final day, for the matches in progress at the various stadiums around the country.
