Army enjoyed complete edge over their opponents and led 59-19 at half time having won the first quarter 29-9 and second 30-10. But contrary to the first two quarters, the soldiers become a bit slow which was quite evident from their scores of the last two quarters 18-11, 12-5. In the absence of the last runners-up Pakistan Air Force (PAF), WAPDA improved their rank by one step. WAPDA had ended up third in the last event. Prolific scorers Tughlak (23) and Atif (21) sparkled for the winners. They were supported by Rashid Minhas (14), Farhad Ahmed (12) and Naimatullah (11). Mohammad Salman was the only WAPDA player who finished in double digit with 11.
