LAHORE: Markhor IT (MIT Solutions) won the President's Trophy Grade-I final by 51 runs after bowling out State Bank of Pakistan for 185 on the last day at Bagh-e-Jinnah on Friday. Chasing 237, SBP resumed at 165/7 but added only 20 runs in the morning. Khalid Usman finished with 4/38 in 16.5 overs, ending the innings by dismissing Kashif Bhatti for two. Mohammad Ismaeel took two wickets, while Aamer Jamal and Salman Aslam claimed one each. Mohammad Abbas was the first batter to depart on the final morning, scoring six off 30 deliveries with one boundary. Ismaeel then dismissed the well-set Mubashir Khan for 32 off 56 balls, including three fours. Earlier, Markhor IT resumed their second innings at 273/7 on the third day with Aamer Jamal and Salman Aslam at the crease. They added only 23 runs before being bowled out for 296 in 74.5 overs. Jamal top-scored with 55 off 81 deliveries, hitting seven boundaries, and he had also taken seven wickets in the first innings. For SBP, Mohammad Abbas was the pick of the bowlers with 5/70 in 18 overs. Sirajuddin claimed three wickets, while Shahid Aziz and Kashif Bhatti took one each. In pursuit of 237, SBP made a steady start as openers Hasan Raza and Abdullah Fazal put together 49 runs. Salman Aslam broke the partnership in the 20th over, dismissing Fazal for 25 off 68 deliveries. Hasan then shared useful partnerships with Faham-ul-Haq and Kamran Ghulam, who contributed 13 and 16 respectively. However, Ghulam's dismissal by Jamal in the 41st over triggered a collapse as SBP lost five wickets in quick succession, including that of Hasan, to slump to 147/7. Hasan remained SBP's leading run-scorer with a fighting 73 off 136 balls, hitting eight boundaries. Mubashir then attempted to revive the chase, building an unbeaten 17-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Abbas before the close of play on the third day. However, SBP's resistance ended on the final morning as Markhor IT secured the title with a convincing victory.
