That's it from us here. Thank you for joining us for the live coverage. This is Karthik and co-commentator Chandra signing off....
SGCC won by 7 runs

POCC - 158/5 (9 overs)
Faraz Virk - 43(14) | Ansarullah Safi - 37(14)
Sanagul Safi - 1/14 | Musa Ahmadzai - 1/31

A nail-biting encounter which SGCC wins in the end by 7 wickets. Despite posting a staggering target of 166 runs, SGCC had to do hard work to churn out a win. 

Safiat Ullah and Asad Mahmood gave POCC a strong start to ensure they build the foundation for the massive chase. Faraz Virk then kept the momentum going with his incessant hitting while Ansarullah Safi complemented him well from the other end. 

With 39 required off the last two overs, the game was still in their grasp. However, a clinical penultimate over from Safi saw POCC lose Virk and in the end, fell short by a narrow margin. 

With the victory, SGCC register their fifth win in six games while POCC face their fifth loss.
