Farhan Babar consolidated the innings with a fine 40 coming off just 32 deliveries supported by two hits to the fence and one over it before Kashif Dawood (26, 18b, 2x4, 1x6) and Fawad Gafoor (17, 13b, 2x4, 1x6) ensured Chargers reached a challenging 159 for seven in 20 overs.
The scoreboard could have read even better but for a brilliant bowling from Mohammad Saifullah who earned the man of the match award for his witty bowling.
