InterGlobe Marine is superior to Hemnet Properties. But Hemnet Properties put
up a fighting show before losing by seven wickets. They bravely opted to
bat first. Though they lost opener Haroon Altaf leg before to Junaid Siddique

bowling attack. Harikrishnan played some lovely shots before Harry Bharwal got
him bowled for 32.
InterGlobe Marine skipper Asif Mumtaz had Aziz Ansari brilliantly caught at the boundary line for 10.

With the fourth ball of the first over, Muhammad Farhan clean bowled the aggressive Sandeep Singh for a duck. Worse was to follow. The consistent Asif Khan got caught by Saqib Ashraf off Taha Ahmed Khan for 5. This spell won him the
