After five evenings of entertaining cricket at the extremely well-lit Royal Palm Cricketing arena, supported by F.R Cables and Chawla Aluminium, 12 out of 16 teams stand weeded out and the competitive matches have brought forth Indus Warriors, Punjab Stunners, Royal Vikings and Lahore Bashers as the four top teams of the tournament. These four ability-studded teams will fight it out late in the night on Saturday to decide who is the ultimate champion and worthy of the title trophy and lucrative cash prize. The quarter-finals on Friday stirred a sizable crowd that cheered and applauded every decent stroke and also clapped for every dot ball that was unplayable. At the same time the wides did not go unnoticed and were amply booed. In the quarter final match against Royal Jaguars the Royal Vikings put up an outstanding show and a half century by Fareed Bajwa was all the result of cricketing shots played to perfection, the timing so very visible. In the bowling department Ramzan Sheikh bowled a final over that totally suppressed the determined Royal Janguars batsmen from producing anything extraordinary resulting in their defeat against the Royal Vikings team.
