KARACHI: Tapal Cricket Club whipped Sindh Police by 73 runs in their Group A encounter of Karachi Gymkhana Ramazan Festival Twenty20 here at the KG Cricket Ground on Monday.

Batting first after winning the toss, Tapal CC capitalised on a grand 116-run opening stand between Zakir Malik (84 off 37 balls) and Nadeem Javed (43 off 37 balls) to post 199 for four. Zakir, who hammered five sixes and nine fours in his whirlwind knock, was adjudged Man of the Match.

Danyal Ahsan (37 off 23 balls) and Daniyal Rajput (24 off 13 balls) then sustained the momentum. Tapal CC followed it up with clinical bowling performance to send Sindh Police crashing to 126 all out in 16.3 overs with only Shaharyar Ghani (45 off 32 balls) and Ammar Hasan (32 off 15 balls) offering resistance. Left-arm spinners Abdul Rahman (4-29) and Saad Khan (3-9) were the pick of the bowlers.
