1st match: Team B won the toss and elected to bat first. They scored 77 in 12 overs which Team A chased down quite comfortably

Highlights from the match:

- Afaque, Yuvi bowled with controlled line and length. Even though Vicky was there till 10th over, team B could only manage 59 in 9 overs. Such was the impact of bowling unit of Team A
- it was only in 10th over that Vicky scored 15 runs of Bharghav that Team B some respectable total to defend
- Brisk opening partnership was provided by Tanzeel and Manohar
- Manahor and Faisal steadied the chase and after the fall 3 wickets Vikash and Faisal finished off 78 runs in just 8.1 overs

2nd match: Team B set a better target this time. For Team A, 97 runs in 12 would be any day difficult but they did well to chase it down with 1 ball to spare

Highlights from the match

- Vicky got out cheaply and so did few other batsman at the start. All hopes of his were now with Iqbal and he didn't put them down
- Iqbal along with Maaz ensured that they put up more than a decent total this time
- Team A's bowler did well overall just that 2 overs of Tanzeel and Afaque went for 30 odd runs and that changed the color of the game after Team B was down till 9th over with only 54 runs on the board
- With runs on the board, it was all left to Team B's bowler to bowl well. Maaz provided an excellent start with only 4 runs in his first over
- But that was the only striking point from the first 5 overs to mention from Team B's perspective. In the next 4 overs Tanzeel plundered 46 runs with the help of Manohar and Faisal, taking 18 runs off Mehran's 6 legitimate balls
- The game meandered once again. Suraj took 2 wickets of Faisal and Tanzeel and gave just 2 runs in the 6th over of the inning
- In the coming 2-3 overs wickets kept on falling with only Vikash left. Yuvi and Buland was still to come. They needed 30 runs of the last 3 overs. Buland and Vikash showed determination to chase down a stiff target
- Maaz and Gaj couldn't contain the batsman when the requirement was 22 off 12 balls (each gave 11 runs). In the end the thrilling match came to an end with Vikash and Buland scoring a six each and winning the match with a ball to spare
