Match Report
The Season is Over and Its do or die time for the teams. PACC awaiting SCCA @ Hobson Cricket Ground to accept the challenge. It was third PACC/SCCA show in this season with both team pocketing wins at their home grounds while chasing.

SCCA won the toss and decided to chase runs as they have done it very well most of the season. PACC opened its innings with Aqeel and Imran while SCCA countered with Ashok and Sudhir. Imran was the first to go followed quickly by Aqeel. PACC as usual 20 for 2 and Haroon was at the crease. Waseem provided some support before edging out to Anand his signature way of getting out. This started Haroon/Akbar dilemma for SCCA. Haroon powering the ball out of ground and Akbar holding on to his end helped out with few chances but he carried on. Both Haroon and Akbar created another 100+ partnership to set up great finish for PACC. Murtaza joined the rampage after Akbar's surrender to Sachin. Murtaza got anxious after witnessing hat trick of sixes by Haroon from non-striking end and put up his own show of massive hits while scoring quick 48. A brilliant century by Haroon and equally important innings by Murtaza and Akbar set up a total of 255 runs. This was 5th century by a PACC player this season while Haroon shares three of them.

SCCA started the chase with ever relying Blessington and Zeeshan. Kamran and Junaid shared the new ball for PACC. Kamran took two wickets early on to get SCCA under pressure. Blessington kept the score moving at a decent run rate but kept losing his partners in equal intervals. Haroon sealed the deal for PACC with sensational spell grabbing 4 wickets and stopping the flow of runs. SCCA were all out in the 29th Over when Akbar bowled Ashok for the last wicket. It was great team work by PACC which has earned them important victories three weeks in a row.

Next Stop experienced HPCC against young energetic and resurgent PACC. It should be a good game to watch. Again PACC thanks Naveed and Co for their great support through out the game.

MOM: Haroon for his 126 runs and 4 wickets
