Punjab CC Amadora win by nine wickets.
Aitzaz Arshad - 48* (19) | Gurjit Singh - 4/15 Amir Dar - 35 (16) | Najam Shahzad - 1/22
Nice and easy as far as Punjab CCA are concerned. They dominated with the bowl and gave no chance to the Lisbon Capitals when they walked out to chase down 104, winning by nine wickets.
Arshad was the star with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 48 off just 19 balls, an innings comprising of seven sixes! He was partnered well by Adnan Ali, who chipped in with 25*.
However, the star of the show tonight was certainly Gurjit Singh, who picked up four wickets in the first innings for Punjab CCA.
6.3 Sunil Patel to Adnan Ali, SIX!!! FINISHES OFF WITH SOME FLAIR!! Punjab CC Amadora win with a bonus point. It was served up on a silver platter. Tossed up, lands in the slot and Adnan Ali pumped it over for a straight six.
6.2 Sunil Patel to Aitzaz Arshad, moves outside leg and misses the ball. It ricochets off his pads and they steal a bye before the keeper can run around and field the ball.
6.1 Sunil Patel to Adnan Ali, pushed to long off for one run.
Sunil Patel, right arm spin, comes into the attack.
Punjab CC Amadora need eight to win the game. They will claim a bonus point if they get those runs in the next six balls.

5.6 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, SIX!! Slower ball and he has timed this to perfection. Plays the lofted, inside-out drive and sends the ball sailing over deep extra cover.
5.5 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, steps out. The bowler goes wide in response. Takes it out of Arshad's reach.
5.4 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, another dot ball. Length ball, angling in. He hoicks it for the heavens and doesn't connect.
5.3 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, misses this time. It was full and wide. He looked to hit it on the off side and missed.
5.2 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, SIX MORE!! Same area, same result. Arshad is looking ominous now.
5.1 Amir Dar to Aitzaz Arshad, SIX!!! Arshad is looking dangerous. He makes a sweet connection and the ball goes sailing over cow's corner.
Amir Dar, right arm medium, comes into the attack.
Punjab are easing their way towards a win. They need 26 runs to win from the remaining five overs. Can they do it within seven overs to claim a bonus point?

4.6 Najam Shahzad to Adnan Ali, similar ball. This time Ali misses.
4.5 Najam Shahzad to Adnan Ali, SIX!! He seemed to be falling over the leg stump but still has put enough bat on it. It was a length ball outside off which has been launched over the point boundary.
4.4 Najam Shahzad to Adnan Ali, IN THE SLOT!! But Ali has missed it. He had his front leg cleared but could not put bat onto ball.
