Conquerors won the toss and elected to field first.
Haniah Ahmer-led side had an abysmal outing with the bat today. The side was bowled out for 43 runs, after batting for 19.5 overs. None of the players could get to double figures.
A four-wicket-haul by Rida Aslam and two wickets each by Zaib-un-Nisa and Memoona Khalid kept the opposition on a tight leash.

Strikers vs Stars
After winning the toss, Strikers decided to bat first. An unbeaten 54 by Areesha Ansari took the side to 108 in the first innings, while the side struggled otherwise with the rest of the team failing to get going.

The chase was defined by Samiya Asfar, who produced a brilliant knock of 62 runs, keeping her side comfortably in position to steal their third victory of the tournament.
