And just like that the group stages of this tournament are
over.
Boost’s qualification has been a dead cert since about half way
through the tournament but Speen Ghar have underlined that they are no push
over in their final two games. In their penultimate game they registered the
highest tournament score up to that point and then shattered it in their final
game today – registering 214-4 against Band-e-Amir. They will face off against
Boost tomorrow to qualify directly for Friday’s final.
Mis Ainak slipped into the final qualification place today
courtesy of an emphatic win against whipping boys Hindukush who have only won a
solitary game this year. Allah Mohammad’s 4-15 limited Hindukush to 104, which
Mis Ainak chase down in 8 overs, and swung their NRR above Amo’s. Their first
mission is to beat Kabul tomorrow to get into the second qualifier. Kabul
themselves have ended with a high as their talismanic batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz
got the highest individual score of the tournament – and at some lick too. His
121* against Hindukush (them again) came off just 48 balls. This moves him to
the top of the run scoring charts. Boost’s Zia-ur-Rehman still has the best
figures for a bowler with 12 @ 10.5.
