Rizwan and Salman once again showcased their skills, adding 88 runs to the total; however, the captain got out after scoring 46 runs, and the vice-captain scored 45 runs. Tayyab Tahir also contributed 38 runs, but the subsequent batsmen could only take the score to 242. The entire team was bowled out in the final over.
