The home team started their run chase on a challenging note, losing debutant opener Andries Gous in the second over with only eight runs scored.
After this early setback, Colin Munro came out to bat alongside Sahibzada Farhan, and together they mounted a recovery by adding 55 runs for the second wicket. However, Farhan fell victim to Haris Rauf in the ninth over, contributing 25 runs off 24 balls.
Munro partnered with Salman Ali Agha, and the two formed a match-winning partnership of 80 runs, guiding the team to victory. Munro top-scored with an unbeaten 59 runs off 42 balls, featuring seven fours and a six, while Agha contributed 41 not out from 34 balls, which included three fours and a six.
For Lahore Qalandars, both Abbas Afridi and Haris Rauf managed to take one wicket each.
