Mohammad Rizwan's uber-consertivism on a dry and cracked surface may have been the only thing holding the Panthers' innings together, while simultaneously giving Mohammad Haris and Iftikhar Ahmed the cushioning to go after the Rhinos. With the top-three falling for peanuts and the lower-order crumpling up just as easily, Rizwan's anchoring was given greater context, without which, the Panthers would have struggled immeasurably.

Naseem Shah was rather surprisingly the pick of the bowlers on a surface better suited to spin bowling, as he finished with 3 for 32 to his name.

Mohammad Rizwan

In what was a sensational game of cricket, the Panthers eeked out a hard-fought win against the Rhinos, avenging their loss in the final of last year's tournament. Akif Javed made his presence felt with the ball, just as Naseem Shah did, on a wicket more conducive to spinners. But as the saying goes in Pakistan, "pace is pace yaar," and what better to encapsulate that than a fast bowler winning the game from a position of extreme predicament.

With this heartbreaking loss, the Rhinos' title defense comes to an end as the Panthers move on to the second qualifer in the Championship Playoffs.

MARDAN RHINOS        164       42.5 overs

Panthers won by 24 runs

Player of the Match: Akif Javed (Panthers)
