The dismissal occurred in the sixth over. Ihsanullah, who had already picked two wickets earlier, bowled a no ball, resulting in a free hit. Nazir, who was on strike, tried to swing the ball away into the leg side, but could only manage a top edge that was caught by extra cover. At this point Nazir lost concentration and wandered out of his crease, only to see the fielder to throw down the stumps at the bowler’s end. Replays confirmed that Nazir was short of his ground, and he batter had to walk back to the pavilion, much to his dismay.

Despite Nazir’s dismissal, Northern reached 152 and won the game by six runs. Zeeshan Malik starred with a half-century, while Mehran Mumtaz bagged three wickets. Northern’s next game is scheduled for September 15, where they will take on Balochistan at Multan.
