Karim Janat Top Scores In Match

Janat hit five sixes and two fours in his innings, and was particularly dominant in the final over, hitting 16 runs to seal the victory.
Janat’s innings was a timely one, coming after he had struggled for form in recent matches.
The 22-year-old is now the Samp Army’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 160 runs from six matches.
Durban Qalandars Fall Short
The Qalandars were unable to build on a solid start after being put in to bat.
Hazratullah Zazai top-scored for the Qalandars with 43, but he received little support from the other batsmen.
The Qalandars’ bowlers also struggled, with only Daryn Dupavillon and Tendai Chatara taking wickets.
The Samp Army’s victory was their fourth in a row, and it has put them in a strong position at the top of the points table.
The Qalandars, on the other hand, will need to improve if they want to challenge for the title.
